Enhanced with newly composed music scores and enriched with exclusive archival materials, this set offers a rare, immersive experience for classic animation aficionados and collectors alike. ## Description Nothing says All Hallows' Eve like early animated films, with their bumptious bent for ghosts and goblins! Now the Stathes Collection brings you a ghoulish gaggle of shorts featuring Max Fleischer, Otto Messmer, Koko the Clown, Mutt and Jeff, and more—in scary soirees with the supernatural! Come for the classics; stay for THE HAUNTED HOTEL (1907), one of the first-ever animated frights! Films include: THE HAUNTED HOTEL (J. Stuart Blackton, 1907) THE PUMPKIN RACE (Roméo Bosetti, 1907) Out of the Inkwell: OUIJA BOARD (Max Fleischer, 1920) Dinky Doodle: JUST SPOOKS (Walter Lantz, 1925) Out of the Inkwell: KO-KO SEES SPOOKS (Fleischer, 1925) ALICE'S MYSTERIOUS MYSTERY (Disney, 1926) Mutt & Jeff: SLICK SLEUTHS (Dick Huemer, 1926) PETE'S HAUNTED HOUSE (Lantz, 1926) Felix the Cat: SURE-LOCKED HOMES (Otto Messmer, 1928) THE FRESH LOBSTER (ca. 1920s) with Billy Bletcher Snap the Gingerbread Man: THE WITCH'S CAT (Kinex Studios, 1929) Waffles & Don: THE HAUNTED SHIP (Van Beuren, 1930) Felix the Cat: SKULLS AND SCULLS (Messmer, 1930) Tom & Jerry: WOT A NIGHT (Van Beuren, 1931) Felix the Cat: BOLD KING COLE (Van Beuren, 1936) Extras! Booklet, archival galleries, and new music by Robert Israel and Charlie Judkins Featuring Films from the Stathes Collection Co-Produced by Thunderbean Animation Review: This third volume of Tommy Stathes' Cartoon Roots series may be the best yet! - The third volume of Tommy Stathes' absolutely vital Cartoon Roots Blu-ray series may be my favorite one yet (though it's extremely tough to decide as I love 'em all!). As indicated by the title, the theme this time is scary supernatural creatures and horrific happenings, and Halloween Haunts delivers in spooky spades. We've got two wonderful live action/animation Out Of The Inkwell titles from the Fleischers featuring Ko-Ko the Clown, THE OUIJA BOARD (1920) and KO-KO SEES SPOOKS (1925); two titles from Walter Lantz featuring Dinky Doodle and Pete the Pup which are heavily inspired by the Fleischer Inkwell series and are right up there with them in style, wit and quality, JUST SPOOKS (1925) and PETE'S HAUNTED HOUSE (1926); three Felix the Cat cartoons, the first of which, SURE-LOCKED HOMES (1928), is a surreal masterpiece of the macabre; one of the best Tom & Jerry cartoons from Van Beuren Studios (this series features a human duo and is unrelated to the later famous cat and mouse combo), WOT A NIGHT (1931); ALICE'S MYSTERIOUS MYSTERY, a super-twisted, incredibly brutal contribution from Disney involving a murderous cult that kidnaps dogs right out of their schoolhouse and does unspeakable things to them, featuring the long-lost complete ending that is missing even from Disney's own DVD release; and much, much more. On the extras front is a most interesting Behind-The-Scenes gallery of press clippings, reissue title cards, 16mm film cans and boxes, and other ephemera related to the films; there's at least one related item for every film in the collection, and the inclusion of this material is way above and beyond and is most appreciated by this collector! Tommy and his team have rounded up the best available prints of these rare titles and restored and stabilized them with loving care, and have commissioned delightful music scores for all the silent cartoons, with excellent results all around. If you're reading this review, you're obviously a classic animation fan, which means that you need to add this to your collection immediately if not sooner. Review: Classics! The best! - A great trip down memory lane with some of the best artists of all time.

The best! *by F***E on August 13, 2020* A great trip down memory lane with some of the best artists of all time. I did recommend this very much. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great selection of shorts and TERRIFIC restoration quality. *by M***N on March 6, 2022* For those who love vintage cartoons, I highly recommend this. Tommy Stathes, the guy behind this Blu Ray, is very passionate about film preservation much like Steve Stanchfield, so don’t expect this to be a bad unlicensed DVD with bad picture quality, but the opposite. The silent cartoons in particular are a real treat, my favorite being the Mutt and Jeff cartoon Slick Sleuths. Bold King Cole, the only color cartoon on this Blu Ray, looks beautiful. Some prints may have scratches, but that’s a source material issue and the high resolution completely makes up for that. Buy this and support the small companies that actually restore vintage cartoons that most people wouldn’t bother investing their time in. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/69620401-cartoon-roots-halloween-haunts-blu-ray-dvd-combo](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/69620401-cartoon-roots-halloween-haunts-blu-ray-dvd-combo) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
