Just in time for the spookiest holiday of all, the original ‘toon loons we all know and love are back in the all-new Looney Tunes: Monster Match from Glu Mobile.

Talk about yer malpractice!
Now, it’s up to the lovely Lola Bunny to turn the tables on the bad doctor before it’s too late. But have no fear, joining the good fight are animated A-listers like Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Tweety Bird and, of course, the stupendous and utterly fabulous Daffy Duck.
B-b-but that’s not all, folks…!
