Does anybody else remember these dancing skeletons in the wonderful 60-minute Disney's Halloween Treat special?

Walt Disney Productions

For those who don't know, this 1982 special became a staple on the Disney Channel in the '90s.

It was a compilation of some of the spookiest Disney shorts and movie scenes.

There were two different versions with two different narrators. One was this talking pumpkin.

Others might remember the Magic Mirror that hosted the updated '90s version on Disney Channel titled A Disney Halloween.

One of the clips was the magic duel between Madam Mim and Merlin, a very goofy (but nerve-racking) scene from The Sword in the Stone.

There was a weird segment called "Donald Duck and the Gorilla," where Donald evades an escaped gorilla inside his home on a stormy night.

It featured one of my favorite Disney segments ever. I will always love the Chernabog from Fantasia and the masterpiece that is "Night on Bald Mountain."

In a way, this was really just an animation showcase of the haunting moments in Disney films...and I loved it as a kid.

The special also featured the ultimate showdown between Donald Duck and a witch in the short Trick or Treat (1952).

That short gave us this famous moment with Huey, Dewey, and Louie trick-or-treating.

The other great short featured Mickey, Donald, and Goofy hunting ghosts in Lonesome Ghosts (1937).

It has a phenomenal ending, with Mickey and friends getting rid of the ghosts in the most ridiculous way possible.

So, Disney, how about adding Disney's Halloween Treat to Disney Plus?

Or how about a reboot? That's right! You just walked straight into my elevator pitch. Now, picture this:

New Line Cinema

A Halloween special for the next generation of kids with a blend of old- and new-school animations!

Disney Television Animation

New energy, like the Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts that have become very memeable on the internet, would be amazing to pair with the classics...

...like the old Sleepy Hollow short titled Ichabod and the Headless Horseman from 1949.

Walt Disney Productions

Instead of a magic mirror or a talking pumpkin narrating, how about one of the spookiest new editions to the Disney villains of this century, Dr. Facilier — voiced by The Thing legend Keith David!

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

Maybe I'm just desperate for more Disney Halloween content, but it would be nice to share this special with the next generation of Halloween lovers.
