31 Days of Halloween III: Season of the Kitsch

[BrandonDaCollector]

Good clips of different varieties. 80s all the way vs. now. Sure, the tech and stuff is great but so many things were better, cooler, meant more, people were much different and it felt good.

Here's Austin Club Kids in 1985



Here's Halloween on Sixth Street in Austin, TX in 1988, 36 years ago this year

When I see stuff with mid-80s teenagers I'm glad I was too young for that. I don't want to ahve old pictures of me with eyeliner and Flock of Seagull haircuts, lol.

[BrandonDaCollector]

They were having a pretty good time there. IMO the 80s & 90s felt really good and I miss those feelings. Great clips. The GMW was nice and Vince Price looked really cool with that longer hair there

So, since Halloween is finally catching on, what about South Africa who is Australia's cousins Well, here's this

[packerbacker180]

We used to have all kinds of crazy decorations. I don't miss the hours it took to set up, though.

[BrandonDaCollector]

All of those were terrific. Gosh, that one from 1990 was great. You know I always talk about 1990, what a great year that was for just about everything. Yes, SW wasn't doing much then, it didn't start it's come back till 1993 which is yet another crucial mention for that year. Oh yes, Saddam Hussein, 1990 was when the WWF was doing the war stuff when Sgt Slaughter returned and they were talking all abut Desert Storm...this is when I awoke about war I was amazed there her talking about Dick Tracey. TMNT was huge that year as I have mentioned before. The toyline was fantastic that year as well. That was superb with them TMNT masks. Now that was a totally awesome with that Predator mask. Yeah, those masks were extremely expensive then. Predator 2 came out in 1990 so that's why he's there which was yet another big movie for that year

Okay, you posted the Grinch Halloween Special. I wasn't going to post this till later but what the heck. Put this in your like videos on YT so you can watch it whenever. Here's this complete broadcast. My Mom loves it when their complete like this. My Grandparents recorded this for Me long ago in the 80s when I was a youngster. Now your gonna wanna check out the commercials here too. I'll spoil the one that is pretty early on and it's CLUE Just watch this classic Halloween time

[packerbacker180]

That's the version of Clue we had as kids. I recognize the cards and the board. I honestly don't recall seeing a Halloween Grinch show as a kid. It's certainly now one I'd seen yearly like The Great Pumpkin or Garfield.

[BrandonDaCollector]

GREAT Okay good, another to have a tradition about All of them were good. That was a great one there of the shows lineup. Show Me from the last several years that can top that Ah Kolchak: The Nightstalker, that one is so fantastic. You can tell it's by Universal. Me & My Mom has been watching them for a few nights now on Peacock. It's truly amazing watching that classic show in order but darn it, too bad it was only season, they always do that crap to the absolute best shows I love how every story is different and has that spooky tone and good humor. The show aired in 1974 so this year marks it's 50th anniversary

[packerbacker180]

Spirit is a fun place to go to. Kolchak is terrific. I wish it aired more on TV, it was X-Files before the X-Files.

[BrandonDaCollector]

Indeed it is. Yes, you be spot on about that, imagine if it had as many seasons and attention The X-Files did/does

All of those clips are great. I sure recall that Mickey Mouse. Yep, Norm MacDonald and the 30th Anniversary of OJ is still ongoing. Cool Ghostbusters. That's a nice Halloween report there and as always, I love to see Halloween Safety Tips Unfortunately, there's these issues parents & kids have to watch out for




From your Buffalo area Packer

[packerbacker180]

Yeah, there's always reports every year about something. Sometimes I wonder if it's just people looking for attention but there are also a lot of sick, deranged people out there.
