Retro Halloween Roller Skating
July 16th, 2010 by John WolfeToday’s clips combine two favorite past-times from my youth: getting all “Halloweenie” and hangin’ at the roller rink. During the early ’80s, most of us kids from my elementary school gathered at the local rink every Friday night. However, I never attended on Halloween, since that would have made me miss out on being home to see the trick-or-treaters’ reactions to my makeshift home haunts.
When I was six, seven and eight-years old, my Halloween time was divvied up between gathering my own candy and then rushing back to the house to scare the trick-or-treaters who were younger than me… aah, the Halloween circle of life!
This first vid is from 1976:
Up next is another Halloween party at the same location, this time from 1984. Checkout the Gremlins’ costumes, Stripe and Gizmo, around 0:17.
