Disney's "Halloween Hall O' Fame" Season 24 Ep 5 (edited)

From Season 24 of Walt Disney's Disneyland Anthology program, we have Episode 5: Halloween Hall O' Fame which originally aired on October 30th, 1977. It's Halloween Eve at the Disney Studios and a lonely watchman and his guard dog patrol the dark and deserted hallways. Entering a room full of props, the watchman begins to play-act several roles with them, only have one other props come to life. It's a jack-o'-lantern inside a crystal ball, and it argues with him about the history and true meaning of Halloween, using clips from several cartoons to prove its points. Jonathan Winters is plays the roles of The Watchman and Jack O' Lantern. Due to copyright I had to edit out Trick or Treat (Disney+), Pluto's Judgement Day (Walt Disney Treasures DVD - Mickey Mouse in Living Color) and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Disney+).
Unfortunately, I don't have the original version of the episode that aired in 1977. Many fans are on the hunt for this version since it included the popular Halloween short, Lonesome Ghosts. This syndicated version also doesn't include the post credits scene of where Jonathan Winters and the Jack O' Lantern switch back to their original roles. I'm also having trouble coming up with the exact date of this airing which I believe is some time in 1987 due to the commercials and ad for the Disneyland State Fair promotion. My best guess is October 25th, 1987, but according to references The Shaggy Dog Part 2 aired on that date. I have included all of the advertisements that were broadcast with this airing for reference and enjoyment.

Johnathan Winters was an excellent American actor/comedian but we knew that

This needs to be on Disney+

[@keepingwaltindisney]

I completely agree. Many of the classic Halloween and Christmas specials are sorely missing.

​@@keepingwaltindisneyThat's because Disney chooses to not have them on there. Those old classic are not what the younger ones like

Amazing memories. Disney Corp. has lost its way. Thank you for posting this. ✨💖✨ 💫

@@magicalhealerclairvoyant521 I don’t concern myself with Disney today. Much more happier that way.

[@annien.1727]

@@keepingwaltindisney 😡That's the most FOOLISH thing I've EVER heard you say! You SHOULD concern yourself with Disney today because big positive changes are going to happen there! And my team and I are going to make those changes happen! No joke about that! "Much more happier that way", my keister! There's NOTHING happier about this at all! What you should be much more happier with is Disney being changed back to the way Walt envisioned it, and that's exactly what I plan to do about it. Please forgive my attitude earlier, but I just can't stand that kind of stuff being said. So please be mindful of what you say.

[@annien.1727]

😡💢💢HEY!!! You watch it! Disney Corp. has NOT lost its way because Disney is changing for the better, and my friends and I are gonna make that happen! I'm deadly serious about this! We're gonna bring the "Walt" back to Disney and abolish all the bad stuff there! No more woke agendas or any stupid stuff like that ever! Mark my words, Disney Corp. WON'T ever lose its way with us around!

Great memories

Thank you 🎃

[@affliction6911]

I remember seeing this 😊

[@fifthrider]

Love the commercials. I think I got as much value from those as from the original content. The cost of a new pickup and renting a costume professionally for only $10? These were way simpler times. I was never really a fan of Jonathan Winters but I'll give him credit, he floated an entire episode by himself, dog not withstanding.

[@keepingwaltindisney]

@@fifthrider 99 cents for a taco and a large drink???

[@Darkinn_Travel]

I'm sure I watched this exact version. Love the tv ads from Las Vegas.

[@keepingwaltindisney]

@@Darkinn_Travel What a throwback, right? Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gilbertgranby9339]

A bit of Trivia.. The Giant Clock we see him use is a DETEX clock; there's a place for that key he took from its tray on the wall. Used to check that the rounds are made in a precise and timely manner. I used one way back in the late 80s while standing Guard Duty on base, US Coast Guard.

The Adventures of Ichabod Crane is Disney's greatest piece of animation (in my opinion heh).

[@keepingwaltindisney]

I have no argument against this.

Jonathan winters guest starred in the "new Scooby-Doo movies" episode "the frickert fracas" with the scarecrow.

[@waltsvaultofficial]

"the post credits scene of where Jonathan Winters and the Jack O' Lantern switch back to their original roles" - Wait - how do you know this specific tidbit? All I know is there's some weird homage Jonathon did referencing Tiny Tim but never that 1) there was a post credit scene that 2) involved them switching back?

[@dakotahrednour5245]

I found out The Syndicated version cut out Lonesome Ghosts. Why is that?

[@keepingwaltindisney]

@@dakotahrednour5245 Most likely time constraints due to paid advertisements.
