31 Nights of Halloween - Night 8: Donald Duck vs the Forces of Darkness

In this 1952 Disney confection, Witch Hazel stumbles upon trick-or-treating duck triplets Huey, Duey, and Louie, just in time to become acquainted with the irascibility of the boys' Uncle (or Unca) Donald. Clearly Donald is a jackass, doling out lit firecrackers and refusing to treat. But somewhere along the line, I began to feel sorry for Donald as Witch Hazel bends the powers of her dark arts upon him. I mean, the punishment far outstrips the crime here. Ya gotta give the guy credit for hanging in there, too, even when faced with traumatic brain injuries.
