Police officer Porky is called to investigate strange noises at a house that might be haunted. Before he arrives, we tour the house and hear some evil-sounding cackles, which, it turns out, are coming from a radio one that a ghost was listening to. The ghost then sings the title song while getting ready for a night of haunting, just as Porky arrives. The ghost invites him in with a woman's voice, then disappears. Porky comes in and gets spooked by some flapping curtains. When he comes back in, the ghost puts a couple frogs into a pair of shoes and sets them loose; they collect a hatrack and a curtain, forming a sort of black ghost that ultimately scares Porky upstairs right into the arms of the ghost.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons.As was said with some other Bob Clampett-directed Porky Pig cartoons, have more often than not had a lot of respect and appreciation for Clampett, and while not quite one of my favourite Looney Tunes characters (prefer those with consistently stronger, funnier and interesting personalities) Porky has always been very easy to like. 'Jeepers Creepers' is as perfect a representation of both as one can get, and one of the best to me.Clampett's distinctive outrageously wacky and anarchic style is all over 'Jeepers Creepers'. Porky is endearing as ever very effectively plays it straight, is used well and is actually treated like a lead, after having cartoons where he feels more like underutilised support. The ghost is a great support character.Mel Blanc is outstanding as always. He always was the infinitely more preferable voice for Porky, Joe Dougherty never clicked with me, and he proves it here. Blanc shows an unequalled versatility and ability to bring an individual personality to every one of his multiple characters in a vast majority of his work, there is no wonder why he was in such high demand as a voice actor. Pinto Colvig, most familiar to me as the original voice of Goofy for the Disney Silly Symphonies cartoons, is every bit as great.Animation is excellent, it's fluid in movement, crisp in shading and very meticulous in detail. Ever the master, Carl Stalling's music is typically superb. It is as always lushly orchestrated, full of lively energy and characterful in rhythm, not only adding to the action but also enhancing it.'Jeepers Creepers' is beautifully paced, imaginative, often hilarious in a wonderfully bizarre way and very spooky. The creepy setting is used to full advantage and the disembodied walking shoe gag is indeed a riot.In conclusion, very spooky and lots of fun. 10/10 Bethany Cox

. . . (most often We Citizens of the (Then) Far Future) of our upcoming Calamities, Catastrophes, Cataclysms, and Apocalypti, when one of Warner's shorts or features spotlights a ghost among its main characters, we can surmise that Warner's prolific Prophets of Doom are working overtime to caution as about at least one prospective Dire Strait we'll soon be facing. Because JEEPERS CREEPERS only has TWO on-screen critters with speaking parts (not counting the frogs), we're treated to a scenario in which 50% of the cast is DEAD. This white specter is first shown smoking a cigar (and dunking his smoke rings into a cup of coffee!). Does this mean JEEPERS CREEPERS is a simple polemic against Big Tobacco? I think not. It's easy to overlook an earlier bit in which lightning fries the roaster weather vane atop the Haunted House into a cooked roast. Warner is telling us that America's goose will be toast IF we ever allow a traitorous minority to install Red Commie KGB Chief Vlad "The Mad Russian" Putin's puppet Rump into our White House. Just this morning on CNN Congresswoman Wasserman-Schultz of Florida estimated as least six million of our most loyal, patriotic, True Blue citizens--including many war heroes--will be rubbed out, liquidated, erased, slain, and murdered due to Putin's Rump Care bill passed yesterday (May the Force be With You, 2017). If memory serves, this is how many Jews Hitler burned up during the Holocaust. Perhaps Warner is forecasting with JEEPERS CREEPERS that we should expect a Rumpocaust Memorial to be erected on our National Mall 75 years from now.

Here is another Porky Pig cartoon great for Halloween. This one is directed by Bob Clampett, and I remember watching the edited, colorized version on TV as a little kid. But from watching the original black-&-white version online as an animation-loving adult, I found it much better then the crappy edited version for TV.In this short, Porky is a police officer ordered to investigate strange goings-on at a old, run-down, deserted house. But the house is actually haunted, and a fun loving ghost (voiced by Disney regular Pinto Colvig) plays a series of pranks on the unsuspecting pig. And then Porky gets finally scared and ran out of the house.There is one scene I liked the was kind of recycled from the short "The Case of The Stuttering Pig". It was when a scared Porky ran up the stairs like a flash, and then jump right into the ghost's arms stuttering "I just saw a..." Overall I love this short.

No collection of old time cartoons would be complete without this one. If I were going to select my all-time favorite Warner Brother Loony Tunes cartoon, it would be a tie between this nutty ghost story and the nuttier "Porky in Wackyland" (1939) aka "Dough for the Do-Do". I first saw these as a small kid at the age of 4 or 5 and have been a fan of these old cartoons on into adulthood. The ones created in the 1930s and 1940s have always been the best.Anyway, this nutty ghost story holds your attention from beginning to end. Imagine sitting in a police cruiser (Porky is an policeman in this one.) and being told to "investigate strange noises in an old, abandoned house. And to be careful - THERE MIGHT BE GHOSTS!!!!". Porky stops for a minute and thinks to himself "Did he say ghosts?" And the radio responds "Yes - you know those white things that go "BRAHH AH AH AHHH!". Great fun.At the house there is a rambunctious, but overall seemingly harmless ghost with the voice of the great Pinto Colvig and a bizarre sense of humor (I can relate to that) that enjoys scaring people. And he does a great job on Porky once he arrives. (I won't reveal everything here.) And the disembodied "walking shoe" prank is hysterical. (I would love to a pull a gag like that.) Great fun throughout.10/10 Dan Basinger
