Halloween Movies

October 28, 1960, Appleton Post-Crescent
I remember only too well the excitement of the special Halloween shows at the local movie theaters, as well as the regular Saturday matinees that were so affordable and gave Mom and Dad a break from the kiddies.  I'm not sure I would have had the patience to work in one of those theaters with all the craziness of kids running around, but I'm glad someone was able to pull it off.  It was a more innocent time, before all the things we take for granted now came along and took our attention away from those cheesy ghostly effects on a large screen that made us cringe somehow. Those were some days.
