Halloween Safety Educational Film Part 2 (1977, Centron)

[ILuvTrollin]

The whole candy thing is just paranoid, or at least it is where I live (Canada ftw!). The only bad thing that's ever happened to me because of candy is also barking cuz I ate half my bag in a few minutes (I actually had a lot of candy, it usually lasts past christmas).

[MsZonight]

4:38 wht fun prt?

[TheAryonB]

At 0:40, why is the kid dressed as Stalin?

[calamagrostis88]

There has never been a documented case of children being poisoned by Halloween candy. It is a myth that has destroyed the fun of millions of kids. When I was a kid we went around without adult supervision and had a great time and gots tons of candy.  Halloween is the best holiday.

[SonicFamilyGal]

@calamagrostis88 Wow, being as brave as a lion really is serious business!

[wileyk209zback]

That narrator lady needs to get a life XD

[Jigsauce]

1:00 "I will cut you"

[greysuns]

the funniest part about "flame retardant" material is that if it gets that hot enough to ignite other flammable cloth it starts to melt. YAY!

[xxxshadowRoxasxxx]

Who needs flash lights? The streets have streets lights

[avonee1976]

@xxxshadowRoxasxxx Actually, not all streets are well lit with electric lights. I have driven on Halloween and it's much easier to see the kids who use flashlights and glosticks. I have had some close calls because of kids who wear dark colors, cross in between parked cars, and just totally disregard safety rules. So I can tell from experience that flashlights, even on a well lit street at night, make pedestrians far more visible.

[TheIRedIQueen]

Wait wait wait, they say all this safety restrictions and make the kids wear flame retarded clothing encase they happen to spontaneously combust but then let them walk around without a parent which is like rule 1 of all over protective soccer moms? Lulwut.

[jessieoh]

Is this in the public domain? I'm interested in using some of it for a documentary for a college project.

[brucebrucebruce900]

0:16 the kids wearing a garbage bag for cryin out loud, when ur kid spontaniouly combustes on the neighbours lawn, u can make sure theyre safe with lame retarded cotton. and if i heard those lame ass jokes, id give them a fuckin rock for halloween!

[TheRegart]

The woman tells you not to wear a mask but use different areas of make up instead... well at least she allows you to be creative.

[GoGoGadgetBeer]

OMG! @ 0:46 it's ICP!!!!

[D0minican4life1]

its good because its safety tips

[cynicalblank]

good god lol 

[VanBilly1]

LOL at 57 secs sounds like lame retarded material

[oHelmslyo]

Wait, wait, not DeFeo! Awkward there...it was actually O'Bryan, Ronald DeFeo was the guy who inspired the Amityville Horror

[oHelmslyo]

Listen up. Very few kids have EVER in the history of MANKIND have been killed by Halloween candy, or poisoned by it. The most prominent case, where Ronald DeFeo killed his son that way, was an intentional killing for insurance money, something far removed from any candy-poisoning spree killers on the loose. The other times were just isolated incidents, very much few and far-between. Sure, there was a Tylenol tamperer, but never a mass Halloween candy-tamperer.

[smallandsweety]

that is saddd who would put sharp things in CANDY and fruit! God thats sick!

[Ben4737]

"Whats a gohst eat for breakfast?" "What?" "Gohst toast." WTF

[Ben4737]

W.. T.. .F

[malvivant]

Those costumes made from makeup and rags look lame, and judging by how mopey the kids at that party are, they know it. The only person who seems to be enjoying himself is this guy at 1:03 . who appears to be an adult dwarf. Also, if a kid told me one of those shitty jokes, I would not chuckle and say, "Here, have some candy!" I would probably just close the door.

[Mikeymcguy]

Hey, that black kid was doing White Face. Outrageous!!!

[Akazzzle]

at 1:04 the kis has a KKK costume on

[Mikeymcguy]

@Akazzzle Sorry, Akazzzle. I remarked on the KKK look in Part 1. I didn't mean to steal your observation comment. LOL.

[TheSickHumanBeing]

The whole razor-apple thing scares the shit out of me. My friend once got one, but thankfully she didn't bite alot into it, so when she bit, it didn't hurt her, but it stuck out a bit so she could see it. She went to the doctor and there was no poison and she wasn't harmed.

When I used to go trick-or-treating, i used to cut up apples, tootsie rolls, and taffy to small peices to make sure thier was none. and always checked the candy.

[Bellyflops2]

oh there would be wiener jokes let me tell you, especially when you would collect your candy from the neighborhood pedophile....ahhhh memories

[LusciousT]

heaven forbode a kid eats candy while they t or t. And I love how they opt for pizza to fill them up before going out so they won't be tempted - what a healthy alternative. lol

[LusciousT]

*forbid

[001hinata001]

god forbid a kid goes trick or treating as something scary like a witch on halloween. srsly, halloween is suppossed to be about scary stuff, and this video goes on about how great it is that they changed the witch costume to a princess. i would be really upset if my mom had changed my costume from witch to princess and made me wear that stupid tape. i never liked sissy stuff like that.

razorblades in the candy? srsy?? thats so lame

[TheZoProductions]

it's called make up!

[NameInVainProduction]

That little kid party looks SO fun. That skeleton kid's the coolest.

[Chenzel05]

So you've completely ruined your costume, thrown out all your candy but somehow it's fine with little kids going without their parents?

[jasonsteel1002]

that kid looked like he/she was about to cry when they threw away the candy

[Stoudman]

So instead of going out as a Witch, go out as a White Wizard safety guard! Yeah, god forbid a kid should eat candy on HALLOWEEN...

Oh man I remember all the horror stories about razor blades in apples and crap. I also remember hearing about how there hasn't been any such situation in decades, and the one time it did happen was with a friend of the family...the very people they tell you to trust in this video.

Yeah, it's '77, but it's still ridiculous.

[9ansean]

O.K. so it's safe to have small children telling weiner jokes? "Here take all the candy if you promise to shut up and never come here with that foul mouth again."

[WednesdayisEmo]

What's with the porno music at the end? Bow chicka bow bow...trick or treat Mr. President...How about a little sugar?

[skeletonmeister]

I really like the idea of telling jokes/performing tricks on Halloween. People never do that anymore, but it's a tradition that goes all the way back to Ireland, where Halloween was invented.

[Thinkle911]

in germany we have a similar event were children collect candy and nooen ever came onto the idea that some kind of asshole could put a razorblade into the candy.

[nekad2000]

The razor blades in candy myth has been so thoroughly debunked that not even snopes could find a verified event in the last 50 years involving it.

I remember being warned about that when I was a kid and the myth perpetuates still.

[invaderzimrules132]

little boy: I wanna be in a dress for Halloween!!

little girl: I'M GOING AS MY MOM!!!

[beast6228]

Damn this film brings back some memories, they used to show this to us when I was in school. Now did I listen to these stupid rules? Hell no, I wore dark clothing, ran from house to house, smashed peoples pumpkins, egged houses and never checked my damn candy.

[HELLOHOLLY234]

its just to keep little kids safe this was not ment for like 12 14 17 year olds because they would say were u guys are saying!

[AnnoyingCustomer]

An old mop for a wig? That's disgusting. I guess they skipped over the "hygiene" educational film when they made this one.

[josswhedon692]

so the black kid puts on whiteface and the white kid puts on whiteface. and the narrator said retardant.

[cpc24]

I R Serious Cat. This Halloween is Serious.

[xXwhitexshadowXx]

omg lady, why don't you just cancel halloween!

[bilong92]

parents don't go out with their small children...?

[Tomkins456]

fruit?! lol

[varlaramone]

Hey, I think I'm old enough to answer the questions about trick or treaters catching on fire! Those cheap store bought plastic costumes burst into flames at the slightest heat, and jack o' lanterns used real candles back in the day. Open flame, plastic clothes, bad idea!

[madderbass]

The witch is turned into a beautiful princess? What kind of princess wears reflective tape? Safteyland? LOL!

[kaylaConspriacy]

I would have been pissed if my mom turned my witch into a princess!!!

[philliesguy]

The Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys would rip this thing apart.

[nomadcowatbk]

they've riffed other shorts at rifftrax

[iwearblueshoes]

Stuff like this, while hilarious to watch today (along with all other safety/instructional films), always took all the fun out of Hallowe'en.

[josswhedon692]

so they dress the girl as a klansmen, dress up a white boy in blackface, and a black kid as a white guy? fuck this! also, dont all these costume rules also apply to normal clothing? clothes can catch on fire too..

[thephotoplayer]

Boy, talk about overly-protective and paranoid. It's films like this that fuel parent paranoia!!!

[itsbensiegel]

Ladies pinch. Whores use rouge.

Btw... why were parents so concerned about their little trick or treaters catching on fire?

[xXwhitexshadowXx]

what about blush?

[itsbensiegel]

Blush is acceptable.

[xXwhitexshadowXx]

the last time I checked, it is blush

[wikkidwonka]

@itsbensiegel for all the bonfires during devil's night, duh

[SonicFamilyGal]

@itsbensiegel Speaking of which, dressing up like a whore for Halloween is something that sensible people are more concerned about these days. Boy, times sure have changed...

[kindersczenen]

Damnit! This was why my father only took me to one house in 1978 and I got one candy bar, which be promptly threw out because he thought that the old woman would be poisoning Milky Ways. Meanwhile, my sister and her friends had at least five pounds of candy, which could've been poisoned...meh, it tasted fine.

[001hinata001]

woah your dad was psycho!

[sprtngrad1996]

this is GREAT!!!! i remember seeing this every year in grade school on halloween!
