Early Disney Alice Comedy. A combination of live action and animation. The only place I know of to get this on DVD is from Tom Stathes' Cartoons on Film.

Shiver Me Timbers (1934)
This cartoon from 1934 features Popeye, Olive Oyl & Wimpy, out for a picnic when they come upon a ghost ship. This version that I present above, has been colorized. The cartoon was originally in black & white, and is contained on the DVD set, Popeye the Sailor: 1933-1938, Vol. 1. I am not a huge Popeye fan, but I am interested in vintage animation, and I am a fan of the Fleischer studios work. And I was actually able to pick up this set at a local Big Lots for $3!! I still haven't watched all the way thru it yet, but I am especially interested in the special features that are included.

Swing You Sinners (1930)
One of my favorites, from Fleischer Studios. Not available on DVD, as far as I know.

The Cuckoo Murder Case (1930)
A Flip the Frog cartoon for you today. Another great cartoon from the DVD 'Cartoons that Time Forgot Vol:2, Ub Iwerks Collection'. There are a lot of great cartoons on this disc. Not all of them spooky, but it actually has a section on it entitled 'Things that go Bump in the Night'. You will see that in the youtube clip, as it has been taken from this collection.

Magic Mummy (1933)
This is one of my favorites. It features two great little songs. Neither are very spooky, but are very catchy. While I'm pretty sure this film is public domain, I had some trouble trying to find a DVD collection this cartoon is included on. My copy of this came on a $1 double feature movie DVD I bought at Target a few years back at Halloween. This great little short was an intermission feature between 'Dementia 13' & 'Tormented'.

Skeleton Frolic (1937)
This great little cartoon was an included DVD extra on one of my favorite movies, 'The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra'. A fantastic movie shot in the style of an old 50's B-movie. When this film was shown at screenings & festivals, 'Skeleton Frolic' ran before the feature.
