Spooktober: The Smurfs' Halloween Special, aka All Hallows Eve (1983)

Our final Spooktober entry for 2019 features The Smurfs.

June Foray guest stars as Mother Nature (and, presumably, Hogatha, too) in this tale, in which Lazy ends up turning red from head to toe, and we learn that Halloween is a birthday for two central players, including Gargamel (Paul Winchell).

"All Hallows Eve" was originally entitled, "The Smurfs' Halloween Special", when it first aired during season 3 (1983-4), but gained a new title for rebroadcasts. Curiously, it suggests that this was meant for primetime, but ended up part of the main Saturday package.
