A dog howls at the moon, while two cats fight over a grave. A skeleton emerges from the grave and frolics, but at the sound of the owl, the skeleton hides behind a grave. Upset about over-reacting over the owl's hooting, the skeleton detaches its head from its neck and chucks it at the owl, knocking the owl's feathers off.
Original – The Skeleton Dance is a 1929 Silly Symphony animated short subject with a comedy horror theme. It was produced and directed by Walt Disney and animated by Ub Iwerks. In the film, four human skeletons dance and make music around a spooky graveyard—a modern film example of medieval European "danse macabre" imagery.
The special is hosted by an offscreen narrator (voiced by Hal Douglas) and the Magic Mirror (using re-edited vintage footage of the late Hans Conried) which incorporates segments from both "Disney's Halloween Treat" (1982) and "Disney's Greatest Villains" (1977) episodes featuring classic short cartoons and excerpts of various villains from Disney feature films.
The VHS cut the original broadcast opening, from the pan/zoom into Sleeping Beauty's castle to the ghost playing the organ in the Haunted Mansion, which subsequently also cut out the pumpkin narrator's "And" before "Now it's time for Disney's Halloween Treat." This portion of the opening is retained in A Disney Halloween" (1983).
