The Duxorcist (1987)
Mary had a little lamb... BUT I ATE IT!

If there was ever an award for freakiest Looney Tunes short, it would probably go to "The Duxorcist", which plays off "The Exorcist". Most people would wonder how Warner Bros. could produce a cartoon that parodied what is considered to

be the #1 scariest movie of all time. However, they did it, though it is still pretty scary (note: most young children probably won't like this).

Playing right along the movie "Daffy Duck's Quackbusters", Daffy gets a house call from a young duck-lady who says there's something paranormal going on

with her household appliances. Of course, what Daffy doesn't realize is that the haunting isn't with the microwave or the blender... but with the lady herself. Daffy tries to exorcise the demons out of her (thankfully, without the use of a priest and holy water), but may have a few problems when the demons leave

her body and see Daffy as a new host...

Despite being very funny, this cartoon is about as spooky as Looney Tunes got. Most fans of the original movie will love it, but younger children will probably not be too thrilled, especially when the lady starts to transform into the monster. Suggestion: put the kids to bed and put this on for the teenagers, they'll love it.
