NEW YORK, Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Halloween has gone from being a night of mischief and candy to the most fun family day on the American calendar, for kids and adults alike. This year the anticipation will build to frights never before seen, courtesy of a certain mystery-solving dog and his curious friends, who have seen more than their fair share of ghouls, goblins, and ghosts. So, grab your keys to The Mystery Machine™ (actually, your TV remote will do just fine), make sure you have your Scooby Snacks™ at the ready, and get set to "Countdown to Halloween" for the entire month of October. With a mausoleum, a myriad of Halloween-themed movies, music, arts and crafts, and interactive games all playable on your television set, the "Countdown to Halloween" will be all treat, no trick.
