Say what you want about Warner\u2019s handling of the Looney Tunes library but \u201cBugs Bunny\u2019s Howl-O-Skreem Spooktacula\u201d really isn\u2019t half bad. It\u2019s actually a pretty decent attempt to conjure up the spirit of the classic Looney Tunes as we remember. It has its finger on the pulse of the comic timing and classic raunch we know and love about the old shorts. It\u2019s funny that Bugs Bunny gets the title of the program since he only has one short in the end of the program, meanwhile Porky has two that he shares with his usual foils.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not a caveat but Bugs feels secondary in an otherwise very good batch of new age Looney Tunes. The first \u201cGraveyard Goofs\u201d is a fun, kind of bizarre romp with Daffy (Eric Bauza) and Porky (Bob Bergen) as they venture in to a graveyard to bury Daffy\u2019s \u201cold pal.\u201d While there they\u2019re stalked by ghosts and assorted ghouls, one of whom is draped in a cloak. \u201cHex Appeal\u201d starring Witch Hazel (Candi Milo) is the worst, as she takes center stage doing battle with a pesty spider. \u201cInn for Trouble\u201d is hilarious as Porky and Sylvester stay at an Inn where the owner is trying to murder the pair.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a hilarious bit of horror comedy with some great animation and a great closing gag. \u201cMummy Dummy\u201d finds Bugs (Eric Bauza) mistaking an Egyptian pyramid for a Vegas hotel, where he accidentally unleashes a murderous mummy. Bugs being none the wiser, evades the hapless mummy who just can\u2019t quite get ride of Wascally Wabbit. \u201cBugs Bunny\u2019s Howl-O-Skreem Spooktacula\u201d is filled with more hits than misses, and really captures the Halloween spirit for folks that are in to some good horror oriented laughs. This feels almost (<strong><em>almost<\/em><\/strong>) like the classic Looney Tunes with some sharp animation and some raunchy humor. While I wish we\u2019d seen more Bugs, this is not a bad half hour to spend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now Streaming Exclusively on MAX (or HBO Max).<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I usually have a lot of awful to say about modern Looney Tunes, but \u201cLooney Tunes Cartoons\u201d has at least tried to honor the legacy of the Looney Tunes.
