The Wickedest Witch - 1989 Halloween TV Special!

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

OMG Rue McClannahan as a witch - can't get any better!

[@daniellevinson6975]

@Indie-Annie Jones Oh, it could have if Rue McClanahan had ever played Snow White's stepmother!

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

@@daniellevinson6975 or Cinderella's stepmother.

[@daniellevinson6975]

@@xXLunatikxXlul It's an interesting possibility, but Rue comes across as someone whose striking beauty made her pathologically vain.

[@nikolatovar9884]

All this and Burgess Meredith as narrator. Gorgeous. Thank you for uploading.

[@jacquelinecallejas1390]

WOW the nostaligia is awesome. I remembered a lot of the dialogue and it's been decades. This was put together with a lot of talent and is timeless.

[@Harvest1966]

I loved Rue McClanahan and Burgess Meredith. Awesome actors and the show was surprisingly good.

AAAAHHHH! For 30 years I have had images floating around in my brain of little dragon muppets in a cave and I could not for the life of me remember what the hell they were from! Thank you SO MUCH Matt!

[@CrunchyScott]

Greevils!

[@cheenachyna2962]

Same here and finally found this today !!! This is insane

[@lonelyone]

Same here. I kept remembering a muppet Halloween special that took place in a Frankenstein's lab or castle or something. I still don't know if this is the right one, or if it's just the Mandela Effect affecting my memory. At any rate, it's great to find this rarity here.

[@Nocturnalspecies]

Lol...that's cute!

[@Itsrichardash]

We’re all here 34 years later 😢

[@Lyaso]

Dude. I have tried many ways to find this thing that my family once recorded on VHS. Somehow, today, it simply ended up in my recommendations. This truly is destiny at work.

[@TANKTREAD]

Thanks for the narration Oswald Cobblepot.

[@carlozabbia1157]

Wasn't that Danny Devito?

[@saraross8396]

​@carlozabbia1157 Yes, but Burgess Meredith, who narrated this, was The Penguin on the 60s Batman TV show and movie. Quite a wonderful actor because of a genius idea he had for his role. He couldn't quite handle the smoke from the cigarette his character constantly had, so he came up with the penguin noise to disguise his coughing.

[@inthrutheoutdoor5849]

She was banished to an underground kingdom somewhere beneath Ohio..It doesn't get spookier than that..lol.....

Oh lord.

[@benlynar9438]

Stuck under Ohio? I’d be grumpy,too! The surface Ohio isn’t much better.

[@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman]

[@draco-amercon]

What a cute little charming special can't say I saw that one back in the day but I'm glad I saw it now. I have to say I definitely want a Greevile puppet now !

[@leaderstragg]

I didn't even know this existed until now!

[@MalJacraFett1414]

same.

[@dmax64]

[@purplespottedcow]

I've seen this referenced sooooo many times on Dinosaur Dracula and now I am have finally withnessed it with my own eyes and ears. Great special!!

[@stefanahlhorn9937]

Well, it´s like Blanche on her crankiest day when she got dumped and found a grey hair..! Do not get in her way. Really, this is great! So much fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@teresascanlon6729]

Oh wow!! Now I know I'm not crazy. I remember watching this, I was 10 & for yrs, for the life of me, couldn't remember the name, but so many other things about it. Thank you for this!! Its awesome & so much better than anything they've put out in the past number of yrs. Pretty much anything from the late 60s through the late 80s was the best stuff.

[@sharrielee911]

Really enjoyed this video 😊 thx for sharing.... smiles

[@jamesanthony8438]

Haven't even started watching the video and already gave it a Thumbs up for it having Burgess Meredith as the narrator. =)

[@jamesanthony8438]

... I would've given it another Thumbs Up for having Alf, but KZbin won't let me. =(

[@Fatima502]

Thanks 'Out On The Lanai' podcast for bringing me here. It was a lot of fun and I didn't see that ending coming

[@mycreations318]

Rue was an incredible actress. I have never seen this one before. She will forever be loved.❤

[@beckies44]

What?!? OMG, I don't believe my eyes, or my ears!!!! Every few years I search for this hoping by some miracle it will get posted. Thank you Dinosaur Dracula for making my youtube dreams come true. :D

[@CrunchyScott]

Can you believe it?! The Greevils are back! :-)

[@beckies44]

Is it hence already?

[@emcmann879]

I'd love to see this with the commercials included, thank you for sharing this with us❤❤❤

Rue is fabulous .I find she play the witch very good

[@Anna.T.]

Woah. That's Blanche Deveraux.

[@JMFabiano]

No it's Vivian Harmon!

[@kaygacho6479]

Right?

[@mistiroberts1576]

And Frosty the Snowman

[@barrett7893]

It is Rue McClanahan

[@natevasquez1614]

Whoa is misspelled. It is either WHOA or WOE. Never "Woah"

[@RoseWaltz]

This reminds me of an old fairy tale. It was actually a pretty good little special, and I'm glad you found it! I'm surprised I haven't heard of it; I'm usually up to date on this type of thing.

[@TheRedfieldWay]

Omg im so used to see her as Blanche, this is such a different light to her. I love Rue. Xox R.I.P you beautiful golden gal

[@imari2305]

I don't remember this tv special but I enjoyed watching it. Thanks for the upload.

[@dank7256]

I remember watching this on tv as kid thanks for the upload

[@LittleSombreroDog]

I've been looking for this for years!! I was starting to think it didn't exist. 😂

[@darthnecrosis1705]

Man I never thought I find this again, when I was a kid I had this on VHS with others like Ghostbusters, Garfield and so many others my memories escape me. Sadly the VHS went bad from constant rewinding (because if 12:05 - 12:16 lol). Miss it so much, thanks for uploading this.

[@lonelyone]

Man, my VHS collection used to be gold. As a kid, I used to tape stuff over all the time, so at this point I have no idea what has been preserved or not. I never thought the nostalgia would hit me so hard as an adult.

[@lancethomas452]

TY for posting this. I couldn't remember the name of this and brought back so many great memories

[@Kojoanna]

Funny.....I love these surprising little gems that surface occasionally😅

[@natbatlightwood5288]

This was mentioned on a Golden Girls group yesterday. Allot of people seem to think this is lost, so yay.

[@randallrowley6334]

This is so much better than my VHS copy! My mom recorded it right after The Halloween Door ghostbusters special

[@julienichols5490]

Funny you should mention the GB Halloween doors special it's on here and I just downloaded the episode but I don't remember this one

[@dank7256]

I don't remember the Ghostbusters special but I do remember the Garfield Halloween special

[@Fenrirfallen1]

The dragons are so cute😊

[@JBunny7482]

I was 6/7 when this came out and never knew Abt it! I loved it! The little monsters were soooo cute and looked and sounded like Alf, my favorite when I was little! I want one lol

[@jeffwalsh6015]

Rue played a witch here and Bette White was a witch in The Paul Lynde Halloween Special. What about Bea Arthur??

[@dietrichess9997]

She was a bartender and lounge singer on the Star Wars Holiday Special. That must count for something? 🙂

[@ameliamorgan2287]

This makes me nostalgic but I don't know why. I wasn't yet born when this came out but it was recommended to me and I'm experiencing it for the first time.

[@4ever9zxyme]

I was born in late 93 . Never seen or heard of this in my life until last year . Now I make it a tradition to watch every time Halloween is close . It’s so nostalgic . Maybe it’s because the rhea whom played as Blanche on golden girls ( which I watched at my grandparents when I was a child ) or maybe it’s because the camera quality . For some reason the 80s/90s is nostalgic for even those born in the 2000s. It’s just a cozy seeming time I suppose for all of us no matter the age

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

I think it's funny how two versions of this get uploaded to KZbin within a week of each other lol.

[@edwardtanzer6342]

Wow 80's flashback to watching this when it premiered as a kid.

[@ct3po776]

"Statue of limitations" sure was a short cameo for ALF!

[@monicawright1803]

this is a cute special!

[@wildrose8806]

Blanche and Sophia were my favorite on the golden girls and Rue was a good witch on here

I love her on the golden girls❤❤❤❤❤! I didn't know she was on a movie❤❤❤❤. I love her❤❤❤❤❤

[@teresasparks9194]

I don't remember this. But I would totally have watched it. Rue Mclanahan was a great actress. These look like Jim Henson puppets.

I totally missed this as a kid. Sleeping on the job…

[@ambrsanford3703]

That. Was. Awesome.

I don't know why I don't remember this one as I was the target age demo at the time. It's a fun special that I would have loved as a kid. Those plot holes, though! 😆

[@ellanina801]

I knew it-that’s Rue McClannahan 💜. So weird seeing her not playing on Golden Girls lol

This is basically a single sketch idea stretched over an entire half hour & The Greebles are what happens when a Skeksis nails someone from Melmak

I missed this the first time around because the only channel I had was CBS. This evil witch character reminds me of Paige Matthews' past life as the Enchantress. I always though Rose and Rue could've played granddaughter and grandmother because they look a lot alike.
