Slog - Comments on Happy Day Before Halloween! http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/happy_day_before_halloween 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....

Ditto for Nipsey Russel and Charles Nelson Reilly.

Yes, I really was that oblivious.

I was totally freaked out by KISS, I had never seen them before!

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.
