Halloween Is Grinch Night (titled It's Grinch Night for the 1992 videocassette release and Grinch Night for the sing-a-long videocassette release) is a 1977 children's animated Halloween television special and is a prequel[citation needed] to the 1966 television special How the Grinch Stole Christmas! It premiered on ABC on October 28, 1977.[2] The original voice actor for The Grinch, Boris Karloff, by then deceased, was replaced by Hans Conried, though Thurl Ravenscroft, who sang on the original special, again provided singing vocals. The songs and score were written by Sesame Street composer Joe Raposo.[3]
The special won the 1978 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program.[4]
