’70s and ’80s Halloween Commercials!

Oof, this is it! The final Friday before OCTOBER! If you’ve been slouching on the Halloween front, it’s time to pick up the pace, ace. I always forget how quickly this season flies by!

Since this is a special Friday, here’s an extra-special video. Suggested by Dan Nations, it’s a compilation of Halloween commercials from the ’70s and ’80s.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. I’m always running old TV spots on After Dark… how different could this be? Trust me on this one, guys. It’s probably the best compilation of Halloween ads on YouTube, with some real rarities in the mix.

Some thoughts from Dan: “We have vintage McDonald’s commercials, Halloween II promos, Creepshow, Children of the Corn, Paas makeup commercials, vintage Toys ‘R’ Us, Vincent Price repping Diet Coke, the Tall Man from Phantasm hocking Fangoria, more Vincent Price telling us about the wonders of Polaroid VHS. It’s nostalgia overload!”

AMAZING stuff. Enjoy, and make sure you do something spooky this weekend!
