ABC Network - “Halloween Is Grinch Night“ - WLS-TV (Complete Broadcast, 10/28/1979) 📺 🎃

Here’s a repeat airing of the animated cartoon special “Halloween Is Grinch Night“ (originally aired on October 29th 1977), as rebroadcast over the ABC Network via its Chicago O&O WLS Channel 7. This, a sequel to Dr. Seuss’ “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,“ features Hans Conreid as both the Grinch and the narrator; the title character in this tale, out to cause grave harm on a rainy Halloween, is confronted by a kid named Eucariah. Music was by Joe Raposo (of Sesame Street, The Electric Company and Three’s Company fame). All segments end with a “We’ll Return After These Messages“ bumper, and the next begins with the title card and “We now return to Halloween Is Grinch Night“ (voiceovers by Bill Rice?) This aired on local Chicago TV on Sunday, October 28th 1979 during the 6:00pm to 6:30pm timeframe. This was from a tape donated to The Museum of Classic Chicago Television as part of The George Jen Collection. About The Mus
