| Halloween Is Grinch Night | comment |
Halloween Is Grinch Night is an animated television Halloween Special and a followup to How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. (It isn't clear whether it's meant to be a prequel or sequel, although it presumably takes place prior to the Grinch's Heel–Face Turn in Christmas.) A co-production of DePatie-Freleng Enterprises and Dr. Seuss, it first aired on ABC on October 29, 1977 and won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program the following year. Hans Conried serves as both the story's Narrator and the voice of The Grinch, in a manner similar to Boris Karloff in the earlier special. Unlike How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, it is an original work and not based on a book.The story takes place in and around Whoville, a town that the Grinch periodically terrorizes on a night known as "Grinch Night," which commences when a "Sour-Sweet Wind" blows and sets off a variety of animal calls that annoys the Grinch into terrorizing the Whos. As the story opens, the Sour-Sweet Wind is just beginning to blow when Euchariah, a young bespectacled Who (a resident of Whoville) with astigmatism, goes outdoors to use the outhouse (referred to as "the euphemism" in the story), and is swept away by the wind.On the road he encounters the Grinch, along with the Grinch's dog Max, who are in the process of bringing a large wagon — called the "Paraphernalia Wagon" — down to Whoville. Euchariah decides to keep the Grinch from reaching Whoville by stalling him, but as the night goes on, he realizes he will have to face him and his fears head-on if he is to save Whoville from the horrors that the Grinch is going to unleash. | |

Ironic Echo: Euchariah mentions how situations looked much better without his glasses on. The person he's addressing will tell him to put the glasses back on and face the facts. The first time he does it, it's to his grandfather. The second time, Euchariah is speaking this to the Grinch! In the first song, Grandpa Josiah keeps listing amounts of dollars and cents that he wouldn't venture out for on Grinch Night. Later on, the Grinch says he wouldn't stay home for an amount of dollars and cents. | |

Non-Indicative Name: Halloween is never even brought up, nor does any character allude to it outside the title, which is why re-releases have sometimes renamed it "[It's] Grinch Night" and the German dub is titled "An Halloween kommt der Grinch" when it was released in West Germany. | |

Notably, after Euchariah successfully stalls him until the wind blows out, the Woozoo and the ducks seen in the opening sequence are celebrating along with the Whos. | |

Would Hurt a Child: Admittedly, all the Grinch does is scare Euchariah, but this does count; he essentially takes a wagon full of pure Mind Rape, meant for the entirety of Whoville, and exposes Euchariah to it in undiluted form. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: The Grinch is annoyed at the various animal caterwauls — something the Whos have zero control over — so he takes it upon himself to go terrorize them for it. That would be enormously petty... though it's implied it's more of an excuse anyway. | |

Master of Illusion | |
| Halloween Is Grinch Night / int_985d6d7f | comment |
Master of Illusion: The Grinch's Paraphernalia Wagon seems to be hypnotizing Euchariah and the audience into thinking he's in a surreal hellish landscape. This possibility is supported by the fact that at the very end of the sequence, he's seen standing on top of the wagon again. | |

Same Character, But Different: The Grinch's portrayal has gone from cantankerous and unpleasant, but basically harmless, to outright sadistic. | |

Holding the Floor: Even though Euchariah hadn't seen what's inside the Paraphernalia Wagon before, he dares the Grinch to unleash the contents on him, relying on Heroic Safe Mode to ensure he occupies the Grinch while the Sour-Sweet Wind dissipates. | |

Winds Of Change: All the Whos down in Whoville notice a change in the wind when the Sour-Sweet Wind begins to blow. The wind makes the local animals go crazy and starts angering the Grinch, thus starting off Grinch Night. | |

Idiosyncrazy: The Grinch can only come off his mountain and do his thing if the Sour-Sweet Wind is blowing and all the creatures it riles are riled. Once the wind dies down, even he has to admit there's nothing he can do. | |

Negative Continuity | |
| Halloween Is Grinch Night / int_bd8aa92a | comment |
Negative Continuity: If this is a sequel to the Christmas one, then the Grinch went back to being evil. If it's a prequel, then Max went back to serving the Grinch. The special The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat seems to suggest that the Grinch goes back to being evil on a regular basis. It also shows that that Grinch is a member of an entire species, most of whom are profoundly unpleasant people. So they could be different Grinches, each called "the" Grinch because there are no other Grinches in the area. | |

Unusual Euphemism | |
| Halloween Is Grinch Night / int_d848560f | comment |
Unusual Euphemism: The outhouse is literally called "the euphemism". Toilets were still too taboo to be seen on TV, and "euphemism" really sounds like a made-up Seuss word if you don't know that it's a real word and what it means. It's extra funny if you do know what it means. | |

| Halloween Is Grinch Night / int_db99b292 | comment |
Mondegreen Gag: The line from the round sung by the Grinch and various creatures during the Mind Rape sequence: "Grinch is gonna get ya, yes indeedy fa la la, ya!" The sing-along version of the special actually transcribes the "yes indeedy" part as the complete gibberish "nitzen diff a la". In the subtitler's defense, these are Dr. Seuss lyrics we're dealing with here. This is noticeably averted in the German dub, which has simply "blitzi blie fa ha la". | |
