Halloween Special Roundup Part 2.5: Doug's Halloween Adventure

Doug was a fantastic cartoon that was on in the 90s.  It starred Doug Funny, his dog (Porkchop), his best friend Skeeter (short for Mosquito), Roger (the school bully) and his love interest, Patty Mayonnaise.  Even though the kids were shown with odd colored skin (Skeeter is blue!) they showed them in relatable situations, like learning to speak up when your friend is in trouble.  The show started out on Nickelodeon with Rugrats and Ren and Stimpy, but as the golden age of NickToons died down it moved to Disney and had a slight retooling.

In this episode, Doug and Skeeter dress up to go to an amusement park to visit a haunted house called Bloodstone Manor on Halloween.  When they are next in line to enter the ride the park closes and the door to the building mysteriously opens.  Roger encourages them to enter and Doug and Skeeter follows them.  The ride later stops partway through and when Doug and Skeeter leave the car to find the way out, Roger disappears.  Spookiness ensues, and Doug and Skeeter end up turning the tables on Roger who really wanted to prank them.  This is a great cartoon to introduce someone to the series and you don't need to know any backstory to enjoy it.

I managed to find it on Hulu, but if you want to own the special you can buy it on Amazon or iTunes.
