"Clifford's Big Halloween" is a "Clifford the Big Red Dog" DVD release featuring eight stories about our favorite big red dog (R.I.P. John Ritter) and his doggie and human friends. This DVD includes stories from frightful to fun.

The first story on this DVD is "Boo," in which everyone watches a scary movie for Halloween. Jetta claims nothing scared her, but then gets scared when she sees a very large ghost. Now who might that be?

Other stories are "Leaf of Absence," "A New Dog in Town," "Not Now I'm Busy," "Clifford's Carnival," ":Come Back, Mac," "Dino Cliford" and "The Trouble With Kittens." Themes covered include taking responsibility, not giving up, not jumping to conclusions, helping others and much more.

All episodes are close-captioned, though the special features are not. The audio is Dolby Digital and includes a Spanish track. Special features include "Speckle Stories" seen in between stories of the show on TV and a pumpkin-carving game.

This is a collection of a few episodes of the "Clifford" show on PBS, not a single movie. They come from a variety of topics, not all Halloween- or even scary-topic-based as I thought they might be. My 3-year-old doesn't seem to mind a bit. If Clifford is on, she's glued to the TV, and since it's her enjoyment that's important, this DVD fits the bill.

If your child is a big Clifford fan, this is a good DVD and it's not just for the Halloween season.

This is a great movie for the kids. There are several short stories that keep your attention. These are very nice cartoons for kids and adults.

This is one of my daughter's favorite Clifford DVDs, and she has a lot of them. Yes, there is only one story has anything to do with holloween, but two others have a very nice autumn feel to them. The rest of the stories are very enjoyable. I highly recommend this DVD.

This is the first Clifford video my daughter has rented from the library, and she adores it. We'll probably buy it soon.

She is just learning about Halloween at age 2 1/2, so she loved the episodes about a ghost and the fall festival. She also loved the episode where Mac feels guilty about ruining a sweater and runs away from home. Really, there were no episodes she didn't enjoy. I liked that it's not super fast-paced, loud, or annoying! We also love the Clifford books, so this ties in well with them.

I was pleasantly surprised! Reminds me a bit of Little Bear, in terms of the low-key noise levels and storylines that subtly teach a lesson. Enjoy!

The DVD has 8 shorts on it. Only one has to do with Halloween so I'd say that the title is a bit misleading if you're looking for more than 10 minutes of Halloween theme (which I was for a kid's party). But, all episodes are very cute and my son asks to watch it every day.

Please beware the title on this video. It is misleading because there are 8 different episodes on this disc. One of them is Clifford's Halloween. The other 7 episodes can be watched for free on WTTW Channel 11.
