Cartoon Network has announced that Scary Godmother Halloween Spooktakular (previously released in Canada on DVD, see 'Scary Godmother Toon Available on DVD') will be shown on Friday, October 1 as one of the network's 'Scary Fridays Specials,' and on Saturday, October 30th as part of the 'Scary Saturday Block Party.' This will be the first time the show has been seen on American TV; it will be released on DVD in the U.S. this month in two editions, one with glowstick. Thompson's Scary Godmother comics from Sirius have been collected into trade paperback editions, and Scary Godmother storybooks written and illustrated by Thompson are also available, creating substantial merchandising opportunities for this property.
