Hilarious 1977 Halloween Educational Safety Video

View fullsize

We are one day closer to Halloween, and today we have an amazingly entertaining Halloween educational video from the year 1977. I tried to show this to my kids, and it creeped them out more than anything. Now I'm not sure if they want to go out trick-or-treating this year! Costumes definitely aren't as creepy and disturbing as they used to be.

The following videos were released by Tucson, Arizona-based filmmaker Jason Willis. He released the actual video in its entirety, as well as a short edited version that is wonderfully cut to the theme song of The Munsters.  Here's what said about it:

"It had been so long that I could scarcely remember a thing about my involvement, and mostly questioned whether or not it would turn out that I was even really in the damn thing after all. But as of today, for the first time in 30 years, I can confirm that: yes, yes I am. The grand screen-time-total of my glorious film debut? About 14 seconds. 14 seconds of complete fucking Halloween awesomeness."

An edited down version of the full educational film, containing only the REALLY IMPORTANT PARTS (those being the 14 seconds or so that you can actually see me in my ghoul costume.)
