Grim & Evil Billy & Mandy's Jacked-Up Halloween (2001–2007) Online

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you the greatest Halloween special of all time! Forget about John Carpenter's "Halloween", and forget "Hocus Pocus", or "Halloweentown"; "Billy and Mandy" has sealed itself as not only the best cartoon of all time, but also the best Halloween cartoon, with this very legendary episode.

As of this year, I've watched this episode on DVD for fifteen years in a row, during October or on Halloween night itself. And it never gets old.

The comedic writing is PERFECT, on this episode. The jokes never get old. This may very well be the most timeless cartoon (and, in particular, episode of a cartoon) that exists on the planet. And it's absolutely hilarious. Any moment involving Irwin is brilliant. My favorite quote is when Irwin is wearing his turtle costume, approaching Billy, Mandy, and Grim. Irwin says, dressed as a turtle, holding up eggs in his hand: "And these are my eeeeggs. Preeeeeeettyyyyy creepyyyyy, aye, Maaaaandyyyyy?"

I laugh so hard, every time I watch this particular episode.

The voice actors are perfectly cast, and just couldn't be more fantastic in their comedic timing. Especially the newest edition, as a villain: Jack O'Lantern-a man who had an encounter with Grim, and lost his head, which he then replaced with a pumpkin. The voice actor for Jack is one of the best voice casting decisions that I've ever seen done, and I'm an enormous movie fanatic. The guy kills every line he's in. This episode, as wonderful as the atmosphere and plot is, would not be as great if this awesome, talented man had not voiced Jack. I'd recommend it alone just for him!

The music and theme song for this Halloween special is absolutely chilling. It will stick with you, especially if you grew-up on this episode like I did. I watched this episode the very night it premiered on Cartoon Network, and its always been my favorite episode of my favorite show, "The Grim Adventures Of Billy And Mandy". I remember my friends and I being so excited to see it.

The ending is so fitting for this show, and so fitting for the mix of dark humor and one-liners this particularly special episode contains.

Again: please watch this, if you haven't before. You'll never, EVER regret it-especially if you're a big Billy and Mandy fan, like myself.
