"Claws For Alarm" Halloween Toons!
One of my favorite cartoons of all time, I always like breaking this one out around Halloween time. "Claws for Alarm" (1954, directed by Chuck Jones) was the 2nd in a Trilogy of Classic Warner Brothers Cartoons starring Porky Pig and Sylvester the Cat. The first in the series being "Scaredy Cat," and the third being "Jumpin' Jupiter." Each of these revolved around Porky and Sylvester being put into a dark and haunted location, with Sylvester (in an non speaking role) being the only one who is aware of the dangers the two of them have stumbled upon.
"Claws for Alarm" is the best of these three cartoons, and taking away from the fact that the cartoon itself is sidesplittingly hilarious, I always loved the sense of dread in this cartoon. The mice villains in the cartoon are rarely ever seen, adding a degree of menace, and the glimpses we get of them are mainly from their creepy eyes peaking out from various dark locations. Seeing how the setting is a completely deserted and empty town, it seems like the history of this town could make for a legitimately creepy horror film. The ending too is a nice little nod to horror films with the non ending ending, with our two heroes still remaining in danger.
This cartoon is just an all around classic, that's all there is to it. A Looney Tunes Masterpiece, and should be required viewing for every Halloween.
Man I remember this cartoon so long ago and exactly how it plays out. Crazy how memory works even after you don't visit it for so many years.

It's funny that you mentioned this cartoons, because they're my favorite Looney Tunes of all time! A few years back, when Boomerang and CN still showed Looney Tunes, I spent considerable hours collective all of them on DVD-R specifically so I could get all three, Claws being my favorite. Sad thing is, the version of Scaredy Cat now shown on tv is edited for content. Yes, I'm a loser, but it's still bullshit.

I remember these cartoons from my youth. I am almost 29 so I grew up watching all the Looney Tunes during my childhood back in the 80's. Back when Saturday's were the best time to be a kid and Saturday morning cartoons like Garfield, Tiny Toons & Looney Tunes were special, thats before they got replaced with drivel like Captain Planet & Power Rangers. I'd give anything to go back and relive that decade again...anyone wanna go back too?

Damn. I haven't seen this one in YEARS. I cracked up hard when Porky was trying to say Schizophrenic, but ends up saying manic depressive. Great post!

These cartoons were just the best. Sadly, they almost never get played on TV anymore. When they are, they've been edited with a blunt instrument by the PC nazis. Apparently, some people think cartoon violence is the leading cause of crime in this country. Good thing I have the original, uncut Looney Toons on DVD.

Halloween is a time for wearing different costumes and enjoying the festive occasion. Adults enjoy dressing up and scaring others just as much as the children. To find the right and the best dress for Halloween is quite a task. A lot of time should be taken and research done to come up with the best dress.
