The Halloween That Almost Wasn't

Aside from It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown there weren't a lot of Halloween staples which were required viewing for the arrival of Halloween to be official but this classic was one of those for me. It is largely forgotten and was so cheesy and goofy but also just filled with the god cheer of the time. They haven't made holiday specials like this in a very long time and I really hope this one can experience a comeback and be appreciated more than it was when it aired on network tv and had a short run on Disney. It's a lovely special from the era of highlighting what you were going to watch in the TV Guide over the next week and that era will be missed forever!

Lol, when I saw this movie listed on imdb.com, it made me laugh. I have this movie lying around my house somewhere, under the title "The Night Dracula Saved the World" I dont know why I watched it all the time as a little kid, I guess because it was sorta kinda funny. I laugh now thinking of the corniness of the short little crappy 70's video,like the disco dancing and the cheap special effects and the really bad acting, especially those damned kids. If you ever come across this little oddity, and I doubt you will, view it for a good laugh

One of the best movies bring back fond memories. I was 5 when it was re-released and it is fun to watch as a family. And although a little corny. I do believe that the whole family would enjoy watching it. It is short enough for little kids to stay interested. And it is funny for kids and teens. And brings back reminiscent times for adults. Plus you don't have to worry about what it is rated like most of the movies today. I have just recently seen it again and it is just as good as I remembered. And you will probably want to see it more then once. I know I sure did. Although now it is a bit hard to find. I would check pleases that sell used VHS. Also other places too. Since it was only once released to my knowledge.

I just wanted to say that I really love this movie! I have been looking for it for a really long time. My mom went on to EBAY a couple of year ago and purchased it from this lady in Canada for $70 bucks on VHS.

I recently had a friend copy it on to a DVD. It is so awesome to have and watch anytime I want.

If any one is interested in a copy, please let me know. I am more than happy to share! I just wish they would keep these traditional movies on TV for our kids today!

Thanks,

I remember this show as a little kid. My brother and I still do the little thing we call 'Tinie, Tiny bat, tinie, tiny bat.' It makes us laugh every time. This is a great movie for kids. They don't make them like this anymore.......

I would highly recommend this to every kid I know and adults. It has some really cute humor. Judd Hirsch is awesome..

Where can I go to buy this movie Amazon?

I did try one year to find it and they wanted around 90 bucks for it. I'm not sure I would pay that much - but I would at least pay $30.00

Does anyone have any good ideas?
