Some Classic Halloween Stuff

From the Vanished Americana site  www.vanishedamericana.com.

Scroll down.

You can see the Little Rascals classic "Spooky Hooky" where they fake a note from a mother to get off school so they can go to the circus only to find their teacher had a field trip surprise to the circus for them.  They got locked out of the school and had to break in at night.  And, it was a spooky night.

Then there were four Halloween songs, only one of which I'd ever heard of before:

WOBBLIN GOBLIN--  Rosemary Clooney
PUNKY PUNKIN (THE HAPPY PUMPKIN)--  Fran Allison  (Anybody remember her?)
THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN--  Bing Crosby

JEEPERS CREEPERS--  Paula Kelly (I had heard this one before)

Plus, there was a Walt Disney cartoon called "Trick Or Treat" featuring Donald Duck, his nephews and a witch.

5:20 and we've had 15 trick-or-treaters.  Started at 3 PM.
