1960s Halloween Memories

January 15th, 2010 by John Wolfe

While I’m still partial to the very rare retro footage from the Halloween Yard Haunt in 8mm entry, I get a huge kick out of seeing any old Halloween films. This particular footage takes us back to the ’60s for a family’s costume and make-up prep, prior to sending the kids out for candy. It also gives a glimpse into the arriving trick-or-treaters and the “loot” the kids return home with at the end of the night.

Keep an eye out for the old black and white television in the background at 0:22 and the candy cigarettes (made to look like “Camels”) at 1:10! I used to love pretending I was taking a drag off of those things, followed by blowing imaginary smoke rings :)

FOX 6 Halloween Hijinks

December 7th, 2009 by John Wolfe

I’m notoriously guilty of intentionally avoiding almost all newscasts and newspapers, whether they’re local or national. However, if I lived in Birmingham, Alabama, I’d absolutely be tuning into FOX 6 for Mickey Ferguson’s weather forecasts. Lately, he’s had me cracking up while watching a handful of his videos.

The two I’ve included in this entry came from Mickey’s “Halloween Madness,” but I’ve noticed he doesn’t reserve his comedic antics solely for Halloween week. After watching the station’s You Tube channel, it’s pretty obvious this is a year ’round thing.

In this “Hot Butter” segment, he reminds me of Will Ferrel. :lol:

On another note, I’d like to congratulate Annamarie D. of Rio Rancho, NM, Joe Fishel of Chicago, IL, and Jayson Nickols of Rowlett, TX. They were winners of the SkulBone Pumpkin Glow tees, which morphed into being the SkulBone Tribal Skull tees, due to unforeseen circumstances. Congratulations, guys, and thanks again for participating!
