I can\u2019t think of a better way to spend Halloween than with classic Nickelodeon shows. And no, I don\u2019t mean the yellow talking sponge, either. I mean classice nineties Nickelodeon, a time where the series were just more innocent and creative. Shout! treats fans of classic Nickelodeon this year with a compilation of scary and Halloween based episodes of some of Nickelodeon\u2019s best animated series, and it\u2019s almost four hours of spooky fun! Featured are choice episodes of \u201cHey Arnold!,\u201d \u201cThe Angry Beavers,\u201d \u201cAah! Real Monsters,\u201d \u201cRocko\u2019s Modern Life,\u201d and \u201cCat Dog.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Among some of my favorites is \u201cArnold\u2019s Halloween,\u201d where Gerald and Arnold plan to play a huge prank on the adults when they exclude them from the festivities. When Helga and the class go trick or treating as aliens, the pals use the opportunity to scare the wits out of the adults, including Helga\u2019s dad, who is convinced he had a close encounter with aliens years before. Things go too far though when Arnold and Gerald create mass hysteria across the city. It\u2019s a hysterical episode with a wonderful guest spot from Maurice LaMarche. \u201cHaunted Train\u201d is another good one where Grandpa spins a yarn about a haunted train that arouses the attention of a bored Arnold and friends.<\/p>\n

When they go investigating the legend, they learn sometimes imagination and fear can combine to create the worst kind of specters. Despite being a good episode, I have no idea why they included \u201cThe List.\u201d It has no spooky elements to it, but is instead about Arnold and Gerald\u2019s quest to have the perfect Saturday which includes cartoons, cereal, and riding their bikes down a steep hill. Things don\u2019t exactly go as planned though, as every task they try to accomplish fails spectacularly. From \u201cThe Angry Beavers,\u201d there\u2019s \u201cThe Day The World Got Really Screwed Up,\u201d a special episode that pays homage to the B grade science fiction movies of the fifties. When Norbert and Daggett go trick or treating, they end up at the house of their cinematic hero Oxnard Montalvo.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s dealing with creatures from another dimension, which accidentally sucks the pair of beavers in his world, prompting them to help fight the evil beasts. Featuring the voices of Adrienne Barbeau and Peter Graves, this is easily my favorite episode of the series, and an absolute laugh riot. In \u201cThe Posei-Dam Adventure,\u201d Norbert is stuck in the dam with Trucky the shrew after a Volnado strikes their lake. While Daggett hides in a shelter with friends, Norbert and Trucky have to figure a way out of their now upside down home. The only thing that would make this set special is if they replaced \u201cCat Dog\u201d with \u201cDoug\u201d or \u201cRugrats,\u201d but hey, beggars can\u2019t be choosey. \u201cOut of the Vault Halloween Collection\u201d is a very neat compilation of Nick shows, and a fine Halloween treat worth grabbing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
