The Holiday Specials We Love: Garfield’s Halloween Adventure (1985)
On this episode of The Holiday Specials We Love, we continue the
holiday preseason with Garfield’s Halloween Adventure, the 1985 CBS
special that gets us rolling into the season. Halloween is our “spring
training,” Thanksgiving, the All-Star break, and from here it’s straight into
the holidays.
After the disappointing Thanksgiving special, this one is a step up. The
pirate ghosts land, the 110-year-old man adds some edge, and Odie saving Garfield brings a little heart. Garfield even shares his candy — progress!
We also ask: is Garfield made for cat people? His sarcasm, dry humor, and attitude
fit perfectly, while dog lovers can’t help cheering for Odie — happy, loyal, and always game.
Production-wise, the music is uneven — the opening song doesn’t fit, but the pirate tune and closing credits actually work. It’s a reminder of how much a soundtrack matters. We also talk the late Lorenzo Music, Garfield’s iconic voice,and how AI could soon recreate voices like his.
We talk how Halloween decorating has taken off — neighborhood contests, lights, and displays that almost rival Christmas. Not quite, but close.
Not perfect, but charming, funny and worth a rewatch every 5th October.
