Summary: A Very Funny Halloween Scary DVD!!
Review: .
Scoring:

5 Stars: Kids - They love Sponge Bob and all his quirky friends!
5 Stars Parents - Shows are good wholesome fun.
4 Stars Violence - minimal violence, but lots of slapstick
2 Stars Educational - Won't get that here!

Recommendation:

Get It!

My kids (and many other kids) really love all the Sponge Bob shows. I cannot think of a single one that was not a big hit!

Summary:

"Sponge Bob" is a lovable, fun loving sponge who gets into ridiculous situations with his less than dumb best friend "Patrick Star" (starfish) in their hometown of "Bikini Bottom".

The (10) Halloween Shows start out with the loveable Sponge Bob who is afraid of everything on Halloween, but, can't scare anybody! The shows get funnier and funnier from there!

Review:

I think Sponge Bob is much better slapstick than the "Bugs Bunny", or "Tom and Jerry" that we grew up with because the humor is more clever situational comedy, and relies less on someone getting "pulverized"! The scenery is colorful and detailed, yet comical; the dialogue is funny and clever; and the characters are... well... characters!

The DVD is a good buy with the added features also; but those extra features will not drive the DVD purchase alone. So, the VHS is also a viable purchase.

Other Characters:

Adding to the mix are a bunch of real characters like:

"Gary", Sponge Bob's pet snail that purrs like a cat;

"Sandy Cheeks", a happy and sociable squirrel who lives under water;

"Mr. Crabs", the money hungry owner of the Crusty Crab;

"Squidward", Sponge Bob's art loving, boring, nasal neighbor who despises Sponge Bob's ridiculous antics;

"Plankton", the tiny loud mouthed, one-eyed, single celled, megalomaniac who tries to steal Mr. Crab's crabby patty "secret recipe".

Scare Factor:

None, except that you and your kids might become addicted!

Violence:

Much better than the Bugs Bunny antics we grew up on; the characters show minimal violence towards each other, but enthrall themselves in their hilarious comedic situations.

Also see:
"SpongeBob SquarePants - Sponge Buddies"
and
"SpongeBob SquarePants - Nautical Nonesense"
for other good DVD/Videos for the kids!

Summary: Bring it around town!
Review: 10 episodes? I've changed my rating from a 3 to a 5. That's an INCREDIBLE deal. My kids are watching the first DVD over and over and so am I.

I was confused by the VHS review which stated this only contains 5 episodes - it has 10 which makes it a stellar value.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great
Review: Absolutely Hilarious, Frankendoodle is a classic.. this is the definite keeper.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Barren as the graveyard on the main menu
Review: After all of the special features packed on the first DVD, my expectations were high for this one. How sad when I see the main menu. A graveyard...wow. No animation. No sound. No nothin'. How sad. Special features: music video. Decent preview of new video game Revenge of the Flying Dutchman. If you want the DVD solely for special features, don't pick this one up. I give it a high rating because I believe it has the best group of episodes on any of the DVDs to date. And that's what Spongebob is about, right?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great fun
Review: All my sons - 2,3, & 10 - LOVE SpongeBob! I must admit I do too. I thought he and his friends were just another passing fad, but I like it because the characters are not mean, if they do something wrong they work to fix things, they do not make references to body functions.... just a lot of nautical nonsense!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is a HUGE guilty pleasure
Review: Because I watch a two-year-old girl almost every single day, I'm practically forced to watch cartoons on an endless basis. And while most of them are tedious to bare through, I find Spongebob Squarepants to be very entertaining for BOTH kids and adults! Don't expect this to be an educational show but rather something to laugh to if you're down or just feel like chuckling at some stupid, mindless jokes... I've been addicted to this show for quite some time now but had never seen a halloween episode before, so the second that I saw this on video I snatched it up and bought it as quickly as I could. And while all of these episodes are great, I was rather disappointed at my realization of how the newer DVD version had 5 extra episodes and how only one of the episodes was an actual halloween one!

I absolutely love watching Spongebob Squarepants (especially when the evil Plankton is present) but I've honestly seen funnier ones than these before. And while I find this collection of shows to be a minor let-down, I do recommend this for "Squidward, the Unfriendly Ghost".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You're wrong, I'm right :o)
Review: Doesn't it say in the title.. 5 shows, and 5 extra? That would equal 10. Plus a music video! Anyways.... I love Spongebob.. I have the other dvd (which everyone should buy.. come on.. whats better than 10 episodes of Spongebob with no commercials?.. I'm certain this dvd will top the other one. My two favorite things together (Spongebob and halloween) how great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spongebob Halloween Specials!
Review: Enjoy watching SpongeBob SquarePants? Then you'll definitely enjoy his DVD "Halloween". It contains ten episodes on DVD(five episodes on VHS).

The DVD is featuring these episodes:

Scaredy Pants

Squidward, The Unfriendly Ghost

Frankendoodle

I Was A Teenage Gary

Immitation Krabs

The Secret Box

Band Geeks

Welcome to the Chum Bucket

My Pretty Seahorse

10 great episodes, a must buy for all SpongeBob SquarePants fans, or anyone who has seen the show and finds it amusing.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Don't be a Scaredy Pants, buy the Season Sets!
Review: First of all, understand that the content itself is 5 stars easy...it's Spongebob! The 3 stars is simply because these collections aren't as cool as the Season sets. The second release in the continuous line of Spongebob "themed" (compilation) DVDs, Halloween, includes 10 episodes that draw almost evenly from all three seasons of this awesome show. There's only one episode here actually set on Halloween ("Scaredy Pants"), but some of the others do have a related theme. For example, "Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost" and "I was a Teenage Gary". Not to mention there's the hilarious "Band Geeks" and not one but two episodes featuring Plankton, which is always good. As I said it's not the content, it's the representation. Considering all of these episodes will be available on the Season sets I have to recommend that be the way you get them. The "Halloween" DVD offers 3 episodes from Season 1, 3 from Season 2, and 4 from Season 3. For a casual fan wanting a good taste of some choice Spongebob, I would say pick it up, but for us Bikini Bottom loyalists and wanna be residents, the complete Season box sets are the only way to swim!

Here are the episodes (next to each is the season number):
01. Scaredy Pants (1)
02. Immitation Krabs (2)
03. Frankendoodle (3)
04. I was a Teenage Gary (1)
05. Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost (1)
06. The Secret Box (2)
07. Band Geeks (2)
08. Welcome to the Chum Bucket (3)
09. My Pretty Seahorse (3)
10. Idiot Box (3)

extras: "Scaredy Pants" music video

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Response to Redmond WA reviewer...
Review: FYI--this DVD has 10 episodes on it. You were probably confused by the Amazon review above, which is a review of the VHS tape which only contains 5 episodes. The DVD has 5 Halloween episodes and 5 bonus episodes, so look--you don't have to fork over 30 bucks for 12 episodes, just fork over 15 bucks for 10! Also, the next Spongebob DVD has been announced for Nov 5 release--it's called Sea Stories, and will also contain 10 episodes. So come on, sign back in and give Spongebob 5 stars as he deserves, or you'll be haunted by Squidward the unfriendly ghost...
