Pac Man Halloween Episodes

The early 80's Pac Man cartoon had an episode that featured two Halloween stories. Not exactly engaging or funny, but they look nice, and they CERTAINLY hold the record for "most uses of the term 'chomp' in a Halloween Special." There are plenty of worse 80s cartoon halloween episodes out there.


PACULA:

It's a rainy night in Pacland, and the ghosts are wandering around until Pac Man, disguised as a gravestone, jumps out at them for the first of many chase scenes. At length, he chases them into an old castle that happens to be near the town, where their boss has created a vampire Pac Man clone who says "I vant to chomp your bones" (?!?!?). Meanwhile, the kids watch "Pac Wars" at the drive-in, until the vampire shows up, taking the guy's place and telling the girl "I vant to chomp your bones." "Not now, Frankie," she replies. "I'm watching the movie!" Sheesh. Doesn't she know what the drive-in is for?



Pac Man then gets into a battle with the Pacula monster, chases him into the castle, and spends the last couple of minutes chasing the ghosts around.



I have to say, the deep colors on this are nice. The rainstorm looks especially Halloweenish.

TRICK OR CHOMP:

Baby Pac is all excited to go trick-or-treating with Daddy. Instead of candy, they get power pellets. All goes well until the ghosts show up, bringing about the inevitable chase scene. This time, it ends in a haunted house (nevermind the fact that every house the ghosts go into is, by definition, haunted). This, of course, turns into ANOTHER chase scene. Not as watchable as Pacula, which at least has that delightful drive-in innuendo.

I watched this series pretty regularly as a kid. I thought it was one of the better cartoons at the time.
