this is a classic spookshow trailer and is available on a dvd nicholas and i've been watching for the past couple of days. nicholas calls the disc 'halloween' and it loaded with fun old clips of this sort along with 2 full-length movies. i've written about the disc before, called monsters crash the pyjama party, released by somethingweird video.

a spookshow was a live stage act and a movie where the host would pretend to hypnotize the audience, make monsters and/or ghosts appear, and other assorted hokum, and then would show a horror film.

perfect for halloween, but great for year-round viewing. now, is that an endorsement, or what. the disc is one of my favorites, hands-down.
