(Summary from Wikipedia)
Halloween Is Grinch Night (titled Grinch Night for the sing-a-long videocasette release) is a 1977 Halloween musical TV special and prequel to How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. It won the 1977 Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program. It premiered on ABC on October 29, 1977.
(My review)
I had a VHS of Dr. Seuss on the Loose (a TV special consisting of three Seuss short stories) as a kid, and this special was included afterwards as a bonus feature. I actually saw this one before the Christmas one, and I grew up thinking that this was the original Grinch story, and that the Christmas one was a sequel (though since this is a prequel, it's an honest mistake to make). This is still a great movie that I go back to every Halloween, and has one of my favorite acid sequences ever. I'm not even going to spoil it. Try to find a copy somewhere and give it a watch. Though not as good as the Christmas one, it is a fun movie.
