Disney's Halloween Treat (1982) was a Halloween-themed clip show compiling Disney animated shorts involving spooky or supernatural themes. Both short cartoons and excerpted segments from Disney feature films were included in the special. Originally called A Disney Halloween, it originally aired in 1983 and included portions from both Disney's Halloween Treat and Disney's Greatest Villains, but longer. It was hosted by a narrator and the Magic Mirror from "Snow White". It was shown on ABC and the Disney Channel for a few years until it was shown for the last time in the late 90s.

The forty-seven-minute version that originally aired on Halloween of 1982 featured a jack o'lantern puppet as its narrator, and was shown throughout the 1980s. A ninety-minute version in which the Magic Mirror (from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) portrayed by the late Hans Conried served as its narrator aired numerous times on both ABC and the Disney Channel. The Magic Mirror version is properly known as A Disney Halloween. The home video that was released on VHS in 1984 features the jack o'lantern puppet rather than the Magic Mirror, although the Magic Mirror is the version that aired from 1983 to the late 1990s.

As of 2007, Disney has never released Halloween Treat on DVD.

Lyrics to the Halloween Treat theme song

Calling one and all tonight; It's hopping at the Hall tonight; Drop in at the ball tonight; Disney's Halloween Treat

Creatures on the prowl tonight; Features fair and foul tonight; They'll meet you there to howl tonight; at Disney's Halloween Treat
