Welcome back! I hope you had (or are having, if you have today off) a great October weekend!
I kick off Week 3 of the Countdown to Halloween with the Halloweeniest program I've featured yet this year. I present a Halloween-themed episode of the 1980s horror TV series Friday the 13th: The Series!
For those unaware, the series was about two distant relatives who inherit their uncle's antique store. The only problem--all of the items for sale are cursed, thanks to the uncle making a deal with the devil! It's up to the cousins and an old business partner of the uncle to reclaim the cursed items before further harm can be done.
Although the show uses the title and logo of the famed horror movie franchise, there is no canonical connection between the film and tv series whatsoever. The show's producting studio, Paramount, simply wanted to get more mileage out of the franchise name. Ha!
In this episode, "Hellowe'en," our protagonists are out doing their thing on Halloween night, only this time, the not-so-dearly departed uncle makes a return to renter the living world. Not a good idea!
Enjoy! And for Joe Mello---THIS ONE'S FOR YOU! :)

I loved this show. I used to watch it late on either Friday or Saturday nights.
I was too afraid to watch it. Anything about the devil or demons or Hell scared me to death! :)
I really enjoyed the show. A few episodes still stay in my brain.... The wood chipper that turned people into money..... The makeup compact that got boys to fall in love with you, and then compelled you to kill them....
