80's Halloween Flashback

- I'll never grow out of enjoying the Charlie Brown Halloween special...you know, "The Great Pumpkin"...but whatever happened to the Garfield special? Those two used to come on tv back to back every year. I'd wait 364 days to see Garfield and Odie dress like pirates and paddle that little boat to the creepy island...Those were the days!

- At least 90% of kids watched Stephen King's "IT" when it originally aired as a mini series...89% of us were totally freaked out by it...70% never trusted clowns again...and 30% are still in therapy today.

- I LOVE the horror films of the 80's...but have you ever noticed how slowly most of the killers move, yet they always catch their victims? I've never understood why the poor fool being chased by Jason didn't just pick a direction and keep running like hell.

- Killer Klowns From Outer Space was a true classic...and ridiculous in every way...but I've still managed to avoid circus tents for most of my life...I also catch myself checking cotton candy for bodies...

- Does anyone remember the Highway to Heaven episode in which Michael Landon turned into a werewolf on Halloween? Very cool...If he could have done that on the prairie, poor little Laura would have most certainly wet herself.

- The Monster Squad was awesome...one of those movies that made you want to round up some buddies for an adventure...I ran across the dvd at Walmart earlier this year and was so overcome with excitement that I almost pulled a "Laura Ingalls" myself.
