Now that it's officially October, grown-ups and kids alike should study "Halloween Safety," an educational film dating back to 1977. This gloriously campy extended PSA was uploaded to YouTube by Jason Willis, who actually acted in this video as a child (you can see him modeling some fangs in #11 below).


Here, in GIFs, are 26 old-school tips for making your All Hallows' Eve as wholesomely spooky—and spookily wholesome—as possible.
