Tom & Jerry Halloween Special
Tom & Jerry Halloween Special is a 1987 animated/live action television special that aired in primetime on TBS. This holiday special was a spin-off of a programming block entitled "Tom and Jerry's Funhouse on TBS". The Halloween Special's wraparounds were live action segments hosted by Josh Jarboe and Audra Lee, two youths dressed in various Halloween costumes.
The hosts appeared in a haunted house where they would introduce the show's animated shorts, tell Halloween-related jokes, scare each other, give trick-or-treating safety tips, and tell stories related to the history of All Hallow's Eve. The animated segments included shorts starring Tom and Jerry, a spirit resembling Casper the Friendly Ghost, Bugs Bunny and Popeye. The primetime special originally aired on Friday, October 16, 1987 on TBS. Subsequent airings ran annually until 1992, usually showing on weekends leading into Halloween.

Famous quotes containing the words tom, jerry and/or special:
“The man that hails you Tom or Jack,
And proves by thumps upon your back
How he esteems your merit,
Is such a friend, that one had need
Be very much his friend indeed
To pardon or to bear it.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
“Who talks of Plato’s spindle;
What set it whirling round?
Eternity may dwindle,
Time is unwound,
Dan and Jerry Lout
Change their loves about.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Here in the U.S., culture is not that delicious panacea which we Europeans consume in a sacramental mental space and which has its own special columns in the newspapers—and in people’s minds. Culture is space, speed, cinema, technology. This culture is authentic, if anything can be said to be authentic.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
