It's October! The season of Halloween is upon us at Eastland!

pumpkin: :devil: omg: :devil: pumpkin:

Let's imagine we're at the dorm for Halloween in 1979. Just picture all those wonderful kitschy, nostalgic "old school" Halloween decorations all over the dorm, the kind they used to put up in your school classrooms and hallways (particularly the 1980s, and if teachers held onto them year after year, some of those may have indeed come from the '70s, lol).

Mrs. Garrett could have a stand by the front door with a huge bowl full of candy to hand out to neighborhood (or, "closest area around the campus, lol) trick-or-treaters. :)

Maybe the girls could "put on" a haunted house in the dorm for kids to come through.

What do you think would be some fun Halloween costumes for our girls to wear? Here are some options:


Nancy - black cat
Blair - witch (she would go in the traditional black witch's garb with the pointed hat, but would make a statement by being a beautiful witch, lol)
Sue Ann - a genuine Kansas City scarecrow
Cindy - Frankenstein's Monster
Molly - ghost ("The Ghost of Women's Mistreatment Past"? lol)
Natalie - clown
Tootie - bat (when skating, she could hold out her wings and look like she's "gliding", lol)


Happy Halloween! pumpkin:

We could also "Halloween-up" the characters' names:


Nancy Olson - Trancey Coldson
Blair Warner - Scare Mourner
Sue Ann Weaver - Sue Ann Cleaver
Cindy Webster - Sindy Webster
Nina Branch - Screama Branch
Molly Parker - Maul-y Darker
Natalie Green - Batalie Fiend
Tootie Ramsey - Boo-tie Damned-sey


"Webster and "Branch" are already good for cobwebs and branches of spooky gnarled trees.


And the adults:


Edna Garrett - Deadna Scare-ett
Stephen Bradley - S'Demon Madley
Emily Mahoney - Grim-ily Ma-moan-ey
Monica Warner - Moan-ica Mourner
Justin Branch - Gustin Branch*
Harrison Ramsey - Scare-ison Damned-sey
Dr. Jeff Parker - Dr. Death Darker
Angela - Damn-gela


*(like a gustin' wind, lol)

Nice ideas. I would guess Molly would go as someone like Susan B Anthony. I could see Cindy as a 70s female athlete. Blair I think would go more for a Glinda the good witch costume. I think Tootie would go as a roller disco person. Nancy as her fav thing in the world- a phone. I agree with your idea for Sue Ann, or possibly a farmer. Natalie as a clown would make sense, or maybe a magic marker. ;)

Hahaha! :lol:

Or maybe Joan Baez, lol.

"magic marker", haha! :lol:

Those are good ideas too, I was just keeping my ideas in the vein of traditionally "classic" Halloween costumes, which I generally prefer.

What a funny thread! :lol:

'80Sitcoms' suggestions for the girls' costumes are great, but I agree with Lorimar that Molly's costume should be Susan B. Anthony (or maybe The Ghost of Susan B. Anthony, if something more spooky is needed?). 1979 was a big year for SBA -- the first coins were struck that year, so she was a hot topic in feminism in 1979; it's just perfect!

I think Natalie should have been a pumpkin, embracing her plumpness.

Oh, of course! Natalie as a pumpkin: - that's great!

And I do love the idea of Molly as Susan B. Anthony, even though it's not "Halloweeny", lol.

(and what a trooper! I had no idea I had 61 needed words until I hit "Submit'! :eek: :lol: )

Now to fill in the blanks in our little Halloween story...

Oh no! I need 2 more adjectives, for #s 40 and 50! Help! :lol:

(also, a replacement Eastland girl for #52, please---it needs to be one of "our girls" on the show in 1979 :) )

Oh, sorry. When you said, "take however many you like", I thought you meant I didn't have to fill out every item. I just misunderstood.

40. matronly
50. spooky
52. Nina

...better? :talk:

Oh, sorry. When you said, "[SIZE=2]take however many you like", I thought you meant I didn't have to fill out every item. I just misunderstood.

Oh, no I did mean that, but when you left just 2 out of 61, I thought you just overlooked them, lol.

52. Nina

...better? :talk:



Actually no, lol. I'm sorry, when I said "(Eastland girl)" in my list, I meant one of the regular cast. Sorry I wasn't more specific, but, I also just assumed whoever played would pick from our roster of main girls, lol.

*sniffles*




Well, then... 52. Natalie.

lol, I do, but the story was already written, and the only girls are our main 7, lol.

Poor Nina! In the dorm with the other girls, but left out in the cold... again! ;)

Halloween Night at the Eastland Dorm - 1979


It was a chubby and strange night. The air hung in a snobby atmosphere on the Eastland campus. In the dorm, Halloween decorations were all over the phone and umbrella. Miss Mahoney was in charge of the decorations, and they looked really invisible.

It was Halloween night. The girls were going to have a liberated party in the common room after trick-or-treating hours were done. They were all dressed in athletic costumes. Blair was a beautiful scarecrow, Sue Ann was a Kansas City good witch, and Nancy was an unbelievable ghost of Susan B. Anthony. Cindy was a gymnastic pumpkin, Molly made a statement as Peter Fonda, while Natalie was funny as a black cat, and everyone thought Tootie was so cute as a bat. Mrs. Garrett got in on the fun dressing up as a zombie headmaster, while Miss Mahoney was a Bride of Frankenstein, and even Mr. Bradley dressed up as a delivery boy!

When neighborhood kids were out trick-or-treating, Mrs. Garrett answered the door by saying "We are in troublllle!" She gave each kid 10, 12 girls. When she ran out of those, she gave the kids magic markers from Mr. Bradley's office.

Then, when trick-or-treating was over, it was time for the party!

The party was a mysterious blast! There was happy music, dejected lighting, and candles everywhere that were harvest gold and smelled like mystery meat. The girls went bobbing for cinnamon buns, and Nancy got her whole head dunked in when Sue Ann accidentally pushed her! They played pin the pigtails on Chestnut, and Blair won. There were great snacks like green pepper, and pie, and cheese dip to drink, and Miss Mahoney played very smart Halloween music on the globe. Mrs. Garrett held a matronly séance, sitting around the grandfather clock with the girls. She went into a square trance and conjured up the spirit of Natalie's grandfather! All the girls skinny-dipped! And then Mr. Bradley scared everyone by jumping out from the piano wearing an Angel from Little Darlings mask! Nancy called Roger on the globe, who was smoking at The Chug-A-Lug Bar, to tell him all about the spooky happenings!

After the séance, everyone went around the sofa and told ghost stories. Natalie told the scariest one of all, about a lawyer who had a bewitched woman that made it rain women all over Eastland! It was so scary it made all the girls roller skate, and Tootie nearly fainted! After that everyone had a late night spooky snack of rolls and soda, and camped out together in the stable overnight.

After that Halloween party of '79, everyone couldn't wait to throw a party for Christmas!

Ahahahha! :lol:

Just the image of Cindy wearing a gymnastic pumpkin costume, Mrs. G saying Tootie's catchphrase, dirty feet-scented candles, Mr. Bradley wearing the costume of a 15-year-old girl, and Nancy trying to call Roger on the globe... ahahaha!

:rotflmao:

The only thing that went as expected is Miss Mahoney in the Bride of Frankenstein costume. All she needed were the white zig-zags in her hair!

Ahahahha! :lol:

Yeah, this was fun!


Mrs. G saying Tootie's catchphrase

And she did say it in "Gossip"! lol (well, she almost did, she put her own spin on it, lol)


dirty feet-scented candles

Ahhh,hahaha! It sounds so much funnier like that! :lol:


and Nancy trying to call Roger on the globe... ahahaha!
:rotflmao:

Hey, that globe is multi-functional---it's a musical instrument and it allows communication! :lol:

Charlotte Rae was a witch in The Worst Witch
I think she made a cute witch.
Mrs. Garrett - A witch
Blair - A Fairy Princess
Natalie- pig tails and overalls a Country girl
Tootie- A roller derby queen
Nancy- old time girl a umbrella and polk a dot bathing suit
Molly- A hat that says Press and her camera A reporter
Sue Ann- Cow Girl
Cindy- A football player

Those are good suggestions! And yes, Charlotte did make a great good witch! (I had heard of TWW on "The Disney Channel, but never saw it until I watched in on YouTube on a Saturday morning last year---and I got paid to! lol)

By the way:

"Nancy- old time girl a umbrella and polk a dot bathing suit"

Does the umbrella refuse to open? :lol:

By the way Retro, that's one way to make Mrs. Garrett's cheese dip unappetizing to me: making it "drinkable"! :lol:

Haha! Well, I figured if mayonnaise is considered a liquid, cheese dip might be, too!

But yes, we wouldn't want to drink cheese dip, even the runnier kinds.

haha, especially for this month, lol

I can picture Mrs. G being dressed up as a school principal or a witch.

It'll soon be Halloween! There are lots of pumpkin:pumpkin:pumpkin:pumpkin:pumpkin:pumpkin:pumpkin:s around the dorm! :)

Mind if I join in with you?

The more the merrier for festivities!

Sorry I couldn't get around to the word list, but is anything else needed over at the dorm?

Whatever kinds of decorations/refreshments anyone wants to provide.

I can bring the refreshments such as Boo-Berry Punch.

I got the Boo-Berry Punch!

*Brings over the punch*

Now let's see what would be a good movie for this special occasion...

Aha! How about the original 1978 version of Halloween with Jamie Lee Curtis?

Eek, I'm not big on horror. I like spooky/atmospheric, and fun. If "Halloween" plays, I'm going to go find another TV and watch some spooky old Vincent Price movie, lol.

How about Thriller by Michael Jackson, but it has Vincent Price?

True, although that's "in the future" from the 1979 dorm, lol.

Oh well. Too bad about no Thriller.

would love to see blair bob for an apple hehe

Anyone want some punch?

sure

sure

Still got plenty of Boo-Berry Punch left since it seems like nobody wanted to take it.

berry punch sounds perfect thanks

berry punch sounds perfect thanks

You're welcome. I made it myself you know.

The Molly Parker Horror Anthology:

-

Haha!!!!!

Classic Eights!

Those are "buried" ("buried", what? Ha!) in Retro's "Molly's Best Episode" thread, so I thought it only fitting to resurrect ("ressurect, what? Ha!) them here, lol. pumpkin:

I'm bringing this thread back from the "dead". ;)

I tweaked some of the girls' names in the Halloween version of character names in post #2, and added adult names as well.

I think Molly would be a robot.

We could also "Halloween-up" the characters' names:


Nancy Olson - Trancey Coldson
Blair Warner - Scare Mourner
Sue Ann Weaver - Sue Ann Cleaver
Cindy Webster - Sindy Webster
Nina Branch - Screama Branch
Molly Parker - Maul-y Darker
Natalie Green - Batalie Fiend
Tootie Ramsey - Boo-tie Damned-sey

"Webster and "Branch" are already good for cobwebs and branches of spooky gnarled trees.

And the adults:


Edna Garrett - Deadna Scare-ett
Stephen Bradley - S'Demon Madley
Emily Mahoney - Grim-ily Ma-moan-ey
Monica Warner - Moan-ica Mourner
Justin Branch - Gustin Branch*
Harrison Ramsey - Scare-ison Damned-sey
Dr. Jeff Parker - Dr. Death Darker
Angela - Damn-gela


*(like a gustin' wind, lol)

Ooh, very creative! :lol:

I can't decide of my favorite is Scare Mourner or Deadna Scare-ett!

I think Molly would be a robot.

It's funny. We have all sorts of Halloween photos for Lisa, Kim, Mindy, and Molly... but do we have any for Nancy McKeon?

Just in time for Mrs. Witch Garrett's flying lesson

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lmao!

Tumpy will then add some of her special ingredients to the cheeze dip. Oh what a party that will be.

Can I come to the party? My friend Cindy was going to go, but she doesn't like horror movies.

I will... in October!

Such a teacher! :lol:

You definitely should come to the party, MA!

We will have all sorts of great refreshments and snacks: plenty of store-made bratwurst, and of course baguettes for fending off Mrs. Garrett! :lol:

pumpkin: :eyes2:

Great! :)

In preparation for the spooky event, I will be watching some episodes of the show, and you can, too. I'll do my annual tradition and sometime in October I'll watch "The Halloween Show", and maybe also some other spooky episodes. "Seven Little Indians" didn't air in October, but it's suitably spooky enough for Halloween, so I think I'll watch that one, too.

If you see any festive food on The Facts of Life, be sure mention it here, MA! :lol:

I would also suggest "Rough Housing" since it's harvest time! Perfect for September or October. :wave:

And "The Return of Mr. Garrett" for the spooky ouija board shenanigans!

:eyes2: :eyes2: :eyes2: :eyes2:

Heck, you could also throw in "Flash Flood"!

Sure, it's set in April, but it does feature a thunderstorm, a dark and stormy night, pouring rainfall, a power outage with no "electrility", electrocution danger, stuffed animal casualties, and the umbrella from Hell!! :lol:

Oh wait, it may not necessarily be "night"---it's so darned dark! lol (which is cool! Custom establishing exterior shots! With special effects! :loveya:)

I do believe it's night in "Flash Flood". The exterior shot at the beginning is way darker than if it had been raining in the day, even if it were extremely overcast. Plus, when he first comes in, Mr. Bradley says he's been sandbagging "all night", and the girls are out of uniform for the entire episode. When Cindy turns off the TV, it's like they were watching a special storm report at night.

Retro,

I'll make sure to watch it on Logo.

When you do, please let us know if you see any other spooky, otherworldly, or harvest-themed episodes we can add to our Facts of "Death" Marathon! :lol:

Yeah, let's go with night. Although with Mr. Bradley's line, that sounds kind of to me like he'd been doing it "all night" as in overnight, and now it's morning. Granted, a VERY DARK morning with all that torrential rain, lol, but still. Or if it were night, it feels like because of his line it'd have to be near 10:00 or so, if he'd been doing it "all night" (I definitely wouldn't accept him saying "all night" if he'd only been at it for one hour, lol. But if he started perhaps at 7:00, by even 9:00 that would be at least two hours).

There is a little bit of faint light visible above the dorm in the exterior shots, but I do like to think of it as nighttime as well. And regarding the street clothes, it also could have even been a Saturday.

(I wonder if the script denotes a specific time of day?)

Yeah, "all night" could even mean they started at 5 PM and worked until 9, when the events of the episode happened, for example.

The script could help, but absent of the script saying otherwise, I will believe it's night.

I remember thinking it was daytime as a kid, I guess mostly because most stories took place in the daytime. And I bet hearing Mr. Bradley say he was sandbagging all night got me in that mode too.

I never thought it was daytime, even though most stories took place during the day. There were enough stories set in the evening/night that I wouldn't have thought twice about it. And that establishing shot sure looks like night.

i love to see cindy bob for an apple sue ann 2 haha

I never thought it was daytime

Now you have to adjust your mentality while watching. ;)

I really will need to! It might change my perceptions significantly. I always thought "it was a dark and stormy night"! :lol:

I will... in October!

I will likely watch the Scary Movie films. if I'm feeling adventurous, I might even watch Scream. And of course, The Facts of Life Halloween episodes. omg:

Speaking of Halloween: has anyone started watching any Horror movies to get into the mood? (i for once watch one every night ha ha!)

I've been watching different Halloween specials, and cartoons, and movies, and TV shows. Saturday night I watched 3 episodes of "Tales From the Crypt"!

I am actually waiting very eagerly for SCREAM 5 to come out, but now it's been announced we have to wait until February 2022 lol!

Luckily, the new HALLOWEEN is out at the cinema next week or so: and now JAMIE LEE CURTIS is a grandma and still after MICHAEL MYERS hee hee!

They could have written an Halloween episode involving the Ouija Board. Maybe Harvey the Hamster comes and haunts the place.

Highcliffe Manor!! I just recently learned about this and was like, oh, man, I'd love to see that! ��

Omg Retro, now you totally have to edit a still frame of the dorm to put "Miss Mahoney" 's framed picture in place of the framed picture over the mantle of the fireplace! :lol:

Highcliffe Manor!! I just recently learned about this and was like, oh, man, I'd love to see that! ��

It really was a very unique show; I remember watching it as a small child. Unfortunately, it disappeared from the airwaves very quickly. It was always meant as a limited gothic comedy series with eight episodes, but I believe only six were actually produced.

We, of course, had no idea it was a limited series, and were caught off-guard when the show ended on a cliffhanger with no resolution.

One of the cool things about Highcliffe Manor is that Jenny O'Hara co-starred in this series right before The Facts of Life began: she was taping the series at about the same time "The Girls' School" was being taped.

And Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts of Life, and Highcliffe Manor were all taped at the same facility: Metromedia Square, and produced by the same production company: TAT/Embassy. For her to go from HM to FOL would likely have been a very easy transition: she was already working at the studio, on the TAT payroll.

6/8 correct, per Wikipedia.

Our first Eastland student explored in our parade of Facts of Death characters is the creepy Batalie Fiend, whose plots and schemes were central to the Halloween episode.

After leaving Peekskill, Batalie became a witch in the stage production Bell, Book, and Candle, and a mystery-solver and ghost-unmasker. Gaze upon these bone-chilling photos of Batalie!

Haha nice find

Check it out! Last night I was watching a documentary on the history of Halloween on the Travel Channel, and this footage popped up while they were talking about gay Halloween parades.

One of the women chiming in throughout the doc said that she once went to a parade in Greenwich Village, New York and it was a fabulous time, and they showed this footage of parade-goers touting Mrs. Garrett and Natalie signs as she was saying that. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! :rofl:

-

Wow! Nicely spotted!

Also: that feels very random. Who brings Natalie and Mrs. Garrett signs to a gay Halloween parade? Everyone knows Cindy and Jo were the lesbians! :lol:

Right?? It's hysterical!! :brent It gave me such a good laugh! It's even better when you see them touted in actual footage movement! :lol:


Everyone knows Cindy and Jo were the lesbians! :lol:

:lol: I did eventually think, wait a minute, no Jo??? lol...talk about a (non-gay) gay icon!

You expect Jo a lot more than you would season 1 Mrs. Garrett and seasons 2 and 6(ish) Natalie! :lol:

If you wanna see the clip (it's no more than 2 seconds at the most), it's "This Is Halloween", part of "Shock Docs" on the Travel Channel on On Demand.

:lol: Yeah, although I can see why if you think about it (Mindy has been referred to as a "f*g h*g" [affectionately] by the gay community, and Mrs. Garrett is very campy, lol). But I know, it's just so funny that there's no Jo, lol.

I've heard about Mindy being a "f** h**", and more power to any of the girls who have a gay following from their work, but Natalie was IMO about as straight as they come. There definitely is a camp aspect to Mrs. Garrett, warbly voice and screaming "Girls, girls, girls!", but the only one who liked touching and hugging girls canonically was Cindy, and the only one the media called gay was Jo. To me, those parade-goers have the wrong signs!

Here's the Facts of Life Halloween Mad Lib™ I wrote that RetroGuy "filled out" a few years ago. I thought it'd be fun to share it again. pumpkin:

Halloween Night at the Eastland Dorm - 1979


It was a chubby and strange night. The air hung in a snobby atmosphere on the Eastland campus. In the dorm, Halloween decorations were all over the phone and umbrella. Miss Mahoney was in charge of the decorations, and they looked really invisible.

It was Halloween night. The girls were going to have a liberated party in the common room after trick-or-treating hours were done. They were all dressed in athletic costumes. Blair was a beautiful scarecrow, Sue Ann was a Kansas City good witch, and Nancy was an unbelievable ghost of Susan B. Anthony. Cindy was a gymnastic pumpkin, Molly made a statement as Peter Fonda, while Natalie was funny as a black cat, and everyone thought Tootie was so cute as a bat. Mrs. Garrett got in on the fun dressing up as a zombie headmaster, while Miss Mahoney was a Bride of Frankenstein, and even Mr. Bradley dressed up as a delivery boy!

When neighborhood kids were out trick-or-treating, Mrs. Garrett answered the door by saying "We are in troublllle!" She gave each kid 10, 12 girls. When she ran out of those, she gave the kids magic markers from Mr. Bradley's office.

Then, when trick-or-treating was over, it was time for the party!

The party was a mysterious blast! There was happy music, dejected lighting, and candles everywhere that were harvest gold and smelled like mystery meat. The girls went bobbing for cinnamon buns, and Nancy got her whole head dunked in when Sue Ann accidentally pushed her! They played pin the pigtails on Chestnut, and Blair won. There were great snacks like green pepper, and pie, and cheese dip to drink, and Miss Mahoney played very smart Halloween music on the globe. Mrs. Garrett held a matronly séance, sitting around the grandfather clock with the girls. She went into a square trance and conjured up the spirit of Natalie's grandfather! All the girls skinny-dipped! And then Mr. Bradley scared everyone by jumping out from the piano wearing an Angel from Little Darlings mask! Nancy called Roger on the globe, who was smoking at The Chug-A-Lug Bar, to tell him all about the spooky happenings!

After the séance, everyone went around the sofa and told ghost stories. Natalie told the scariest one of all, about a lawyer who had a bewitched woman that made it rain women all over Eastland! It was so scary it made all the girls roller skate, and Tootie nearly fainted! After that, everyone had a late night spooky snack of rolls and soda, and camped out together in the stable overnight.

After that Halloween party of '79, everyone couldn't wait to throw a party for Christmas!

Blair was a beautiful scarecrow, Sue Ann was a Kansas City good witch, and Nancy was an unbelievable ghost of Susan B. Anthony. Cindy was a gymnastic pumpkin, Molly made a statement as Peter Fonda, while Natalie was funny as a black cat, and everyone thought Tootie was so cute as a bat. Mrs. Garrett got in on the fun dressing up as a zombie headmaster, while Miss Mahoney was a Bride of Frankenstein, and even Mr. Bradley dressed up as a delivery boy!

When neighborhood kids were out trick-or-treating, Mrs. Garrett answered the door by saying "We are in troublllle!" She gave each kid 10, 12 girls. When she ran out of those, she gave the kids magic markers from Mr. Bradley's office.

Then, when trick-or-treating was over, it was time for the party!

The party was a mysterious blast! There was happy music, dejected lighting, and candles everywhere that were harvest gold and smelled like mystery meat. The girls went bobbing for cinnamon buns, and Nancy got her whole head dunked in when Sue Ann accidentally pushed her! They played pin the pigtails on Chestnut, and Blair won. There were great snacks like green pepper, and pie, and cheese dip to drink, and Miss Mahoney played very smart Halloween music on the globe. Mrs. Garrett held a matronly séance, sitting around the grandfather clock with the girls. She went into a square trance and conjured up the spirit of Natalie's grandfather! All the girls skinny-dipped! And then Mr. Bradley scared everyone by jumping out from the piano wearing an Angel from Little Darlings mask! Nancy called Roger on the globe, who was smoking at The Chug-A-Lug Bar, to tell him all about the spooky happenings!

After the séance, everyone went around the sofa and told ghost stories. Natalie told the scariest one of all, about a lawyer who had a bewitched woman that made it rain women all over Eastland! It was so scary it made all the girls roller skate, and Tootie nearly fainted! After that, everyone had a late night spooky snack of rolls and soda, and camped out together in the stable overnight.

After that Halloween party of '79, everyone couldn't wait to throw a party for Christmas!

Hey, that's your song! :eek: Very cool!

Wow, how did you do that? Did someone create that whole track from scratch? I mean at first I thought maybe it was a karaoke track, but the background singers sing "Eastland Mash" instead of "Monster Mash"!

For the vocals, did you get a friend to perform it for you, or did you alter your voice for the performance?

Fun artwork too!

Glad you enjoyed, '80s!

I hired a musician for a small amount of money, since I cannot sing, and really do not like my voice.

Originally, I wanted to do a full animation, but ran out of time. So I just went with stills.

While true, Molly had more subplots in Eps, like taking pictures in Running or the ham radio in Flash flood

Sorry that I missed the party! I haven’t been on much lately and not posting a lot.

I see what you mean. I wouldn't consider the ham radio a "subplot" though because everything is all a part of the flood story line. But definitely a "character thread" for her throughout.

Sorry you missed the party (I posted a spoooooky video, above), but hope you had a GREAT Halloween anyway!

Yes for sure. Cindy has more “Nancied” eps too like Adoption and Molly’s Holiday.

Is that Cindy's cheese dip on top of the piano?

Yes for sure. Cindy has more “Nancied” eps too like Adoption and Molly’s Holiday.

She still had one more line than Nancy in MH, heehee.
