Countdown to Halloween - The Halloween That Almost Wasn't

Hey Kids, there's another Halloween Special on! Come on and have a seat and get ready for some campy, very dated (it has a disco scene in it) Halloween fun with The Halloween That Almost Wasn't from 1979. I remember the night this first aired because it was on against Mork and Mindy's Halloween episode where Mork turned out to be very sensitive to ghosts and got himself possessed and...wait, this is about the special. Anyway, the Special starred Judd Hirsch as Dracula calling all the monsters together to deal with a rumor that Halloween was cancelled. The monsters include Warren the Werewolf aka Wolf Man of Budapest, the Mummy of Egypt, Frankenstein's Creature (John Schuck who would go on to play Herman in the God Awful Munsters Today), Zabaar the Zombie of Haiti, and the Witch played by Mariette Hartley (and a very WILFy one at that). It turns out that the Witch started the rumor because she hates being called ugly and wants to be Queen of the Monsters, Dracula refuses and hilarity ensues....
