Popeye the Sailor and his arch enemy Bluto fight over Olive Oyl on Halloween.

KS3/4 idea: There are a number of places in this Halloween-themed movie where the characters experience a sudden fright, or just general unworldly weirdness. As a discussion stimulus, pause and replay these segments several times and ask students to identify and describe the musical features of the soundtrack that help to create these effects. Pupils could then go on to use similar compositional techniques in their own Halloween-themed musical 'figamentations of the imagigamamanations' (as Popeye memorably says near the beginning!)
