Vintage Halloween Commercials



As a kid, the anticipation of Halloween sometimes equaled Christmas. The prospect of cold nights, scary costumes and buckets and buckets of candy whirled me into a frenzy.
When the Halloween marketing wheels got turning and the commercials started having Frankenstein monsters, and witches flying in front of the moon, that just fueled the fire.

Channel 66.6 Haunted Radio has assembled a YouTube page with a number of little 30 second trips down memory lane. See stores like Woolworth hawk Ben Cooper out of the box costumes like "TV hits" Wonder Woman and Hulk, while McDonald's and Spuds MacKenzie integrate the Bates Motel and vampire McNuggets.

With tons of old school movie trailers and the fact that they generate their own horror-news podcast, Haunted Radio is definitely a place to check-in this Halloween season.
