Webster: Moving On (1984)

Originally aired 2 November 1984, this episode feels a little like a Halloween episode, even though no mention is made of the holiday. What you get is a large, Victorian house with secret passageways and a particular room that is always kept locked. Katherine and George are looking for a place to rent, and Katherine especially thinks that this house is the one for them. However, George wants to know what he is paying for and wonders why the owners don't want them going upstairs. While George and Katherine are going over details with the owners, Webster is off on his own, discovering a way to enter the locked room.

Here is a clip from the episode:

McDonalds Safe Treats gift certificates (1984)

Here is a 1984 McDonalds commercial for Safe Treats: gift certificates that posed much less of a risk to children than traditional Halloween give-aways. Think of how much fun Halloween would be if every house gave these out! I can't imagine real children being as excited over Safe Treats as the ones depicted in the commercial. Safe Treats are similar to the Easter Seals Safe Halloween Coupons.

Diff'rent Strokes: A Haunting We Will Go (1984)

This was one of my favorite Halloween TV episodes as a kid, and I pretty much had the thing memorized word-for-word. John Astin and Ray Bolger guest star in this episode that originally aired 29 September 1984. The episode was obviously influenced by the movie Ghostbusters, which had been released in June of that year.
