Media Happy Day Before Halloween!
posted by on October 30 at 12:15 PM
To help get you in the mood, here’s a clip from Paul Lynde’s 1976 Halloween special, featuring Lynde, Margaret “Wicked Witch of the West” Hamilton, and all four members of KISS.
Here’s Frank DeCaro writing about the mindblowing special—recently released on DVD—in the New York Times.
(In addition to KISS and the Wicked Witch, the special also features Billy Barty, Donnie and Marie, Tim Conway, Betty White, and Witchiepoo from H.R. Pufnstuf. The Netflix wait for the DVD is very long.)
Thanks to Towleroad for the link.
You too!
for years now, i have been threatening to go as phyllis diller for halloween, but only if i have a posse that includes paul lynde, rose marie, charles nelson reilly, brett somers, and gene rayburn.
schmader, i'm expecting you to step up.
Stand in VAGINA POWER as, uh, a PILOT! Yeah, a pilot...
Nipsey Russel
I can't believe I used to watch Paul Lynde as a kid, and was completely oblivious to him being gay. Ditto for Nipsey Russel and Charles Nelson Reilly.
Yes, I really was that oblivious.
Nipsey Russell? Really?
here's another campy Halloween video, featuring Eartha Kitt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfx0W8Z06fg
Margaret Hamilton could totally kick Kiss' stoned ass.
I vividly remember seeing this on television when I was 9 years old, I was a big Puf'n Stuff fan back then. I was totally freaked out by KISS, I had never seen them before!
Kerry, I think I could pull off Charles Nelson Reilly. I already have the scarves. Lynde might be harder. I don't have the sideburns for Gene Rayburn, though I suppose I could glue some on.
This is why I LOVE David Schmader.
Marry me a little, or a lot, David...
