Animation Comic - Halloween Franchise

Animation Comic - Halloween Franchise is a media franchise of Halloween-themed special episodes of Animation Comic that acts as films. The series is released by 25UltraGamer, and produced by 25UltraGamer Studios.

Development
Derek was planning having holiday specials starting with a Christmas-themed special released in 2016, but was canceled due to unfinished business (however it is still considered to be released). He then had the idea that he would have a Halloween episode that would not be counted as an episode in the main Animation Comic series.

It started with Animation Comic - The Halloween Special, released on October 28th, 2017 on YouTube by 25UltraGamer, and with a follow up on Animation Comic - The Halloween Sequel, which was released on October 27th, 2018. Another follow up of the first sequel, Animation Comic - Haunted Memories, was released on July 25th, 2019.

The future of the Halloween franchise of Animation Comic will be on creative thoughts of whether another Halloween-themed special episode is in mind.
