Hi- I'm looking for the name of an animated anthology from the 1980s that featured three stories- one about black cats, the second about a witch who was eluded with soap, needles, and bones, and the third about some flying serpent or something. I don't think it was Halloween-specific, but it could have been. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Maybe the witch story was 'Teeny-Tiny and the Witch-Woman?

Teeny-Tiny and the Witch-Woman by Barbara Walker (Pantheon)
Running Time: 14 minutes, animated

TEENY-TINY AND THE WITCH-WOMAN is a Turkish folktale based on a theme very similar to that of Hansel and Gretel.

You can read about it here Teeny-Tiny and the Witch-Woman

Here are quotes from the story summary linked above:

... 'Witch-Woman' who lives in the forest. According to the story, she eats little children and uses their bones to build a fence around her house.

The witch-woman looks up for a split second and realizes the brothers are trying to escape and that Teeny-Tiny tricked her by sending her on a fool's errand to ensure their hasty retreat. She drops the sieve and begins to run after them. Fearing that the witch-woman might by some chance catch up with them, Teeny-Tiny decides to try and use the magic objects to stop her dead in her tracks. First, Teeny-Tiny reaches for the bar of soap. He decides that even if the soap isn't magic, she might still slip on the bar and fall. But, much to Teeny-Tiny's surprise, when he drops the bar of soap, it begins to bubble until it creates a huge mound of suds. The soap only stops the witch-woman momentarily and she decides to run around it.

Disappointed that the soap doesn't stop the witch-woman, Teeny-Tiny reaches for the next magic object, the needle. He decides that even if the needle isn't magical, he might still prick her with it. Teeny-Tiny throws the needle and it quicky becomes a whole mountain of needles. The witch-woman runs into the mountain of needles and is pricked by them. After she gets back up and picks the needles out of her body, she runs around the mountain of needles and angerily continues to chase Teeny-Tiny and his brothers. Annoyed that the needle didn't hinder the witch-woman too much, Teeny-Tiny reaches for the third and final magic object, The knife. Teeny-Tiny decides that even if the knife isn't magic, the witch-woman might still cut her foot on it. It was his only chance.

Teeny-Tiny throws the knife and it stabs into the ground cutting a huge crack into it so long and so wide that the witch-woman cannot run around it or jump over it. The witch-woman is finally defeated.
