Standard procedure for kid's shows and cartoons it to release not only seasons of episodes but collections on a theme as well. Regular Show's Fright Pack is just that, collecting together Halloween and scary stories from across four seasons all onto one disc.

If you aren't familiar with Regular Show, it follows the adventures of Mordecai and Rigby, a blue jay and a raccoon, who work as groundskeepers at a park. They spend their days trying to avoid work and interacting with the other employees and denizens of the park. Their manager, Pops, has a lolipop for a head, and their boss, Benson, is a gumball machine, Skips is a yeti, Muscle Man is a ... well, a green skinned man, and Hi-Five Ghost is a ghost. It's pretty regularly absurd but, in my opinion, it never goes as far as, for example, Adventure Time does, which I find to be far more hit-or-miss than Regular Show.

This collection begins with the Halloween Episodes, Terror Tales of the Park from season 3 and season 4. In each, the guys try to tell each other scary stories to see who has the best. You also get episodes like Ello Gov'nor where Rigby gets scared by watching a movie about a murderous English taxi and begins seeing it everywhere, Death Bear about the legendary animal, Dizzy about Pop's fear of giving speeches in front of crowds, and more.

The Fright Pack is a delightful collection that is well worth watching, and even makes a great introduction for new viewers to Regular Show and it's quirky cast of characters.
