My Review of The Last Halloween
My first impressions of this surprisingly adorable and entertaining Halloween special created Hanna-Barbera, the same people that brought us "Scooby-Doo!", "Yogi Bear", "The Flintstones" and "The Jetsons", was: "This is actually pretty entertaining! I wish I was born 5 or 6 years earlier so I can "relive the joy and excitement" when it first aired!" I say this because when it first aired on CBS in 1991, I was still a baby and couldn't change the channel without sticking the TV remote in my mouth. (OK, I was joking about the TV remote but, you get the idea!) As for how I found out about this special in the first place, I was searching for Halloween specials to watch last year when I came across this little relic. I even watched it with my girlfriend recently. But enough about me, let's talk about this special!
The premise of the special centered around four aliens named Gleep (voiced by Paul Williams), Romtu (voiced by Don Messick), Scoota and Bing (both voiced by Frank Welker), who are on a mission to Earth from Mars to a mysterious element known as "coobi", as well as two kids, Michael (played by Will Nipper) and his sister, Jeanie (played by Sarah Matinek), who after losing their mother (prior to the events of the special), are on the verge of losing their family's candy factory due the lake surrounding it, Crystal Lake, being mysteriously "dried up".
When the two groups meet each other for the first time, the aliens decide to tell the kids of their mission to find "coobi", which to their surprise is actually candy. With the same goal in mind, the kids and the aliens decide to work together to find enough candy for the latter to take back to their home planet AND also try to save the former's family candy factory, all the while trying to avoid the clutches of the evil Mrs. Gizbourne (played by Rhea Perlman) who, along with her assistant Hans (played by Richard Moll), was responsible for draining Crystal Lake (the main power source for the candy factory) in order to find bugs to use in her experiments, in an effort to unlock the secrets of eternal beauty. I won't go into too much detail to the point of spoiling the whole special; I let you check it for yourself to see how it all turned out.
