If The Legend of Sleepy Hollow hit the spot, these will too

Clyde Geronimi working the same nerve twice
The difference: Lighter on wit

The same preoccupation in both: short film
The difference: Leans further into music

Dread-soaked where it counts, unsettling underneath

One thread runs through both: short film
The difference: Not nearly as dread-soaked

Both land wit and play at once

Horror with a pulse of dread, in both cases
The difference: Played as drama first

Both keep coming back to the same thing: halloween

Unsettling family, and it commits to that



Both lean on unease more than on horror

Playful comedy in both cases
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft
In the mood for more dread?
