Nothing says "Happy Halloween" quite like TV! 

Back in the day, there was nothing better than gathering around the tube with some popcorn to mark the holidays. Sure, Halloween specials may not get the love that Christmas specials do, but they're great just the same! 

So, let's take a look back on some of the best Halloween specials of yesteryear. Tell us if you remember these ones from the '60s and '70s! Maybe we missed your favorite, and if that's the case, please let us know in the comments. We're hoping you can spark a conversation by sharing some great memories with your MeTV neighbors. Have fun!

Watch Svengoolie on MeTV!

70%. I love Rudolph and all the CB specials. ( even though they don’t run on TV any more.) Also, love The Grinch.

50%. Of course the Great Pumpkin is the best, but how could they not mention the classic Paul Lynde Halloween Special from 1976? One of the campiest camp classics!

Yep, ever noticed that he wears his aviation glasses as the Great Pumpkin?

Because he was still in his costume as the WWI Flying Ace.

70% Similar "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" is a classic. I wish it was then, and I'm watching it for the first time.
