  • The special centers around the character of the hairy green monster the Grinch, who first appeared in Dr. Seuss' 1957 children's book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! and later appeared in the 1966 animated Christmas TV special of the same name. The plot is set in motion when a strong wind starts a chain of events which disturb the Grinch, causing him to want to leave his home in a cave high above the town of Whoville to go down and terrify the town's inhabitants. A small boy named Ukariah Who prevents the Grinch from reaching the town. It is difficult to say whether Halloween Is Grinch Night is a sequel or a prequel to How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. The Grinch famously has a change of heart at the end of the 1957 book and 1966 TV special and, as a result, no longer menaces the inhabitants of Whoville as he does in Halloween Is Grinch Night. However, the Grinch's dog Max, who accompanies him throughout How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, leaves his cruel master at the end of the Halloween special. Halloween Is Grinch Night won the 1977 Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program.

  • In Whoville, on a night known as "Grinch Night", which commences when a "Sour-Sweet Wind" blows and a chain of events causes the Gree-Grumps and Hakken-Krakks to annoy The Grinch into terrorizing the Whos. Later, Euchariah, a polite little Who with a slight astigmatism, goes to use the outhouse (referred to as "the euphemism" in the story), but is swept away to Mt. Crumpit by the wind. On the road he encounters the Grinch, who is busy picking Brickles out of his fur after failing to hunt down the "Wuzzy Woozoo". Along with the Grinch's dog, Max, who is in the process of bringing a large wagon called the "Paraphernalia Wagon" down to Whoville. Euchariah decides to stall the Grinch from reaching Whoville. After some persistence from Euchariah, the Grinch tricks him into getting a strange trance in the Paraphernalia Wagon. Inside the wagon, Euchariah is confronted by surreal imagery, numerous monsters and the Grinch's mocking voice. Though scared out of his wits, Euchariah bravely keeps on his toes long enough for the Sour-Sweet Wind to die down, thus forcing the Grinch to pack up and retire to his cave. Max on the other hand, who had been abused and overworked by the Grinch, goes home with Euchariah. Back in Whoville, the residents (including Euchariah's grandfather Josiah and his grandmother Mariah) celebrate the little Who's courage in preventing the Grinch releasing the Paraphernalia Wagon's full horrors on their town and up in the mountains the Grinch, who is hauling the wagon home himself, ominously notes that one day there will be another Grinch Night when the Sour-Sweet Wind blows once more.
