EERIE, INDIANA - "Scariest Home Videos" (1991)

Tonight's Saturday Night Countdown To Halloween Special is Episode 05 of the 1991 television series titled "Eerie, Indiana."

This Episode was titled "Scariest Home Videos," and aired on October 20, 1991 right before Halloween. The stars of the show, Omri Katz as Marshall Teller, and Justin Shenkarow as Simon Holmes are just getting ready to go out trick or treating! If you were around in the 80's you probably remember Omri as John Ross Ewing in 149 episodes of the night time soap opera "Dallas." Besides acting, Justin Shenkarow has done a ton of cartoon voices like Harold Berman in "Hey Arnold," and Eddie Horton in "Lloyd In Space."

Marshall's Mom has gotten a call from her husband whose car is stranded, so instead of trick or treating, the two boys have to stay home and keep and eye on Simon's bratty kid brother Harley. Joseph (Kindergarten Cop) Cousins has the role of Harley.

Fake or real, I love shots of trick or treaters!

The spellbinding classic "Bloody Revenge Of The Mummy's Curse" starring the iconic Boris Von Orloff is playing on the tube!

Then the boys realize the truth, somehow Harley is now inside the TV, and they are going to get in trouble!

Even worse, Harley is not merely inside the TV, he has exchanged places with Boris Von Orloff who was The Mummy in the movie, and is now ready to go on a bloody rampage!!

The kid in the TV is hilarious, and is easily worth the price of admission alone, and he's having a great time going around terrorizing everybody!

Julie Condra as Syndi Teller would have probably been more scared of this wandering mummy if it wasn't Halloween. Julie was in 59 episodes of another night time soap, "Santa Barbara," as Emily DiNapoli Hughes. 

 

More trick or treaters!

The kids bonk the mummy on the head with a shovel and finally get him to calm down!

Oh, No! It's Boris Von Orloff, and he has no idea what's going on!

He thinks he's still in the movie!

 

By matching up the teeth marks on the TV remote control with some teeth marks on Simon's arm given to him by his little brother, they think they might have figured out what happened.

Thanks goodness the video camera they were going to take out with them trick or treating was running the whole time, and they are able to verify exactly what happened.

The movie is on the ending credits, and Marshall's parents are on their way home, so there's only one thing they can do, and that's have Boris bite down on the remote at just the right time!

And Harley returns just in the nick of time!

What a fun and krazy story. I give this show four thumb's up, two of mine, and two of Lord Litter's, I'm sure he's got a couple to spare!

THE REGULAR SHOW / Pumpkin Smashers - 2013

Here's a little adventure from one of my favorite shows, in this one, Mordecai, Rigby, Muscle Man and Hi-Five Ghost are out cruising around in their golf cart. They see two scarecrows in front of a corn field and stop to check them out...

Rigby goes over to the scarecrows and finds a plaque.

It says... Smash all you want, but, leave these two pumpkin lovers ALONE! It makes Rigby just want to smash them even more!

The whole gang decide they want to smash them too!

They start throwing rocks at the lady scarecrow...

And she falls to the ground, face first.

Muscle Man gets a bright idea, and he does a cannonball on her head!

Her pumpkin head splatters all over her man's face!

Hi-Five Ghost gets the honor of smashing the remaining scarecrow's pumpkin head, but...

The scarecrow grabs Hi-Five Ghost, and turns him into a pumpkin!

He holds Hi-Five over his head...

And smashes him on the ground!

Then the scarecrow turns his attention to the rest of the gang!

Mordecai, Rigby and Muscle Man run like Hell into the corn field to get away from the angry scarecrow that wants to turn them into pumpkins, so he can smash 'em!

Mordecai hides behind a tractor, but the thing sees him, and....

He grabs Mordecai's leg and it isn't long before he's a pumpkin too!

The scarecrow lifts his leg up high, and...

Mordecai gets smashed to bits! Let this be a lesson to anyone out there that wants to smash pumpkins on Halloween, it could backfire on you!

ALIEN NATION - "The Night Of The Screams" (1989)

 

Season one, Episode six from the 1989 TV show "Alien Nation," is the best of both worlds, it's science fiction and they did incorporate Halloween into the story too, and that's what brings us to this day six of this year's Countdown To Halloween on a Milky Way Wednesday in The Dungeon!

Gary (Robot Jox) Graham) is wise-cracking Detective Matthew Sikes. Gary's had a busy career, and has quite a few projects currently in production too.

 

Detective Sikes' partner is Detective George Francisco as played by Eric (Invaders From Mars) Pierpoint!

These two are a good match. They were both born in 1950 about five months apart. Gary has a total of 106 acting credits, Eric has 92, and they are both still working today!

 

Well, that's a different looking spare tire!

This couple are at a used car dealer, and when they look in the trunk, this Alien body with one hand is what they find! 

There's a serial killer on the loose, and he's only picking on the newcomers!

Okay folks, we'll just close this trunk lid and pretend like we didn't see that!!

This episode titled "The Night Of The Screams" aired on Halloween night 1989, and that's where the Halloween tie-in comes into place. Michele (Airwolf) Scarabelli is George Francisco's wife Susan, and their daughter Emily Francisco is played by Lauren Woodland! Lauren has been on the daytime soap opera, "The Young and The Restless" for 21 years or 387 episodes as Brittany Hodges

I despise soap operas, but that's remarkable any way you look at it!!

In this scene, Susan is not really happy to be mutilating an innocent vegetable just to participate in some ancient pagan ritual.

 

The bodies keep piling up, and they all are missing hands!

Emily wants to be popular with the other kids, so she practices bobbing for apples!

Misconceptions, stereotypes, prejudices, fear, and hatred, it's all here, only it's presented in a different form!

You gotta admit, these guys make a good lookin' team!

Looks ominous enough, but this is just an innocent trick or treater!

Thanks again to Lord Litter in Berlin for unearthing this one for me!

I'll be back on Saturday with even more thrilling chills as The Countdown continues!
