Scared Shrekless is a 2010 American animated Halloween horror comedy television special based on the Shrek franchise. Set shortly after the events of Shrek Forever After, the film is told in anthology film format, using a frame story to introduce three horror tales. The special premiered on the American television network NBC on October 28, 2010.[1]

The special marks the first time outside of the video games that Donkey is now voiced by Dean Edwards since Eddie Murphy declined to return. Rupert Everett and Chris Miller were both replaced by Sean Bishop as Prince Charming and Mister Geppetto respectively while Miles Christopher Bakshi and Nina Zoe Bakshi reprise their roles as Fergus, Farkle, and Felicia from Shrek Forever After. This is also the first time Duloc has been seen since the original Shrek. It was produced with the working title of Shrek or Treat.[2]
