Viewing Notes

Not sure if I have seen this one (doesn’t seem familiar but I could’ve forgotten it). I have seen the 1985 version and will be watching it again tonight.

Fun how the message here is “hey kids here’s how to not have fun on halloween!” Yeah make a shitty costume and don’t wear a mask. Only visit homes of ppl you know. Make sure mom cuts your fruit and candy bars into little pieces! God I can’t believe what a media scare that was back in the 70s.
