User blog:Saizou1607/Terror Tales of the Park III - Final Thoughts

'''Hey guys! Specter1607-- oops I mean Saizou here! '''It's been a week since the long-awaited Terror Tales of the Park III premiered, and with Halloween only a day away, I think it'd be a good time to express my thoughts on the special. With that said, I'll start off with a few of my thoughts on the first half-hour special of Season 5.

So far, the past few episodes of Regular Show have been outstanding thanks to the return of Ms. Minty Lewis, a storyboarder of RS. This may have been the first season to fill up my Top 5 eps within FIVE consecutive weeks/episodes, it has so far been one outstanding episode after another. Which is why I couldn't wait for the third Halloween special of the series.

Now onto the special (which I have been anticipating since the initial release of Terror Tales of the Park II), it was definitely not a trick, but a treat of an announcement to hear. I couldn't wait to see what stories JG and co. had cooked up during the episode's production, and it did not fail to impress...sorta.

Once the spooky Halloween intro aired along with the red background, I was on the edge of my seat with the TV volume up. Now the segment, "Killer Bed" was the first short of the group, and of course was the weakest of the 3 segments...that's what I first thought. Then by the time it ended, I thought it was decent, better than last year's opening short, "Payback."

Onto the second segment, "Jacked-Up Jack-o-Lantern" I thought was just even better, reminded me a lot of the 2011 RS Halloween segment "In the House." Very funny, but I felt it could've been a bit longer. I thought this would serve as the final story of this Terror Tales of the Park intstallment just by looking at the promos, but apparently was only the icing on the cake. I anticipated the final segment, "The Previous Owner" as the commercial break ended.

Now, like the previous two final segments of TTOTP, this one is usually the longest and scariest of the three. What I viewed didn't exactly live up to my expectations. First off, this short had an interesting plot, but felt like it was lacking a bit of the "Halloween" theme. I'm exactly saying this was a bad segment, but it remains as my least favorite short of all shorts seen in the TTOTP series.

What they had presented in "The Previous Owner" seemed to live up to RS standards, but as a segment in Terror Tales of the Park? Not really, it could've been done without being part of the special. I'm sure my view on it would be different if it was a standalone episode. If anything, "Jacked-Up Jack-o-Lantern" should've served as the finale and extended by 5 min. That would leave a spot open for another TTOTP3 segment though, which could've been anything. While "The Previous Owner" could've been done as a standalone episode without all of the character "deaths." Nonetheless, I enjoyed this installment of the Terror Tales of the Park franchise, but wished it could've been a tad bit better.

On an unrelated note, tomorrow is Halloween! Enjoy all of your Trick-or-Treating, candy giving, scaring, costume donning antics! But that means it's only 2 more days before poor ol' Fox reverts back to his standard look, so enjoy my 2spooky4you avatar while it's still here! HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM SAIZOU!!

'Now we have a complete trilogy of Terror Tales of the Park, so what do you think of all of the specials? Are you liking them? Which one is your favorite? Do you think some segments would've been better in other TTOTP installments? Which segments would you have placed differently? Which ones would you have removed? Am I asking too much questions? What was this about again? Oh yeah, Halloween. =P'
