    Skeleton Dance gave me a recurring nightmare that lasted for almost 15 years. This used to be the Halloween night lineup on CBS or NBC (one of those) every Halloween from at least 1987 to 1995 (the years I remember it the clearest):

    Local News
    Friday the 13th
    Thriller
    Disney Set -- Skeleton Dance, the live/animated mix Haunted Mansion thingie, the other 1929 cartoon where Mickey Mouse goes in that haunted house and has to play the piano for the grim reaper while they dance
    Nightmare on Elm Street

    Of ALL THOSE THINGS (including Freddy Kreuger and dancing zombies), Skeleton Dance was the one that scared me the most. The nightmares I had for those 15 years are some of the worst ever, because every year on Halloween I knew that no matter what I did, that fucking dream was coming again. And it scared me shitless every time. #nostalgia

    I love that last video and the look of horror on the skeletons' faces when the rooster crows. Beautiful animation, too. #nostalgia

    I completely forgot about the Donald Duck cartoon! Watching it again was great...totally took me back to my childhood. It was one of my favorite cartoons. Thanks for posting it, Hortense! #nostalgia

    I LOVE Garfield's Halloween Adventure! The old man telling the pirate story was just creepy enough. Watch for the part where the old man drools, wipes it from the side if his mouth and then rolls the drool between his forefinger and thumb. It took me many viewings to notice this subtle gesture. #nostalgia

    I am now craving Chicken McNuggets and have a strong urge to drive to McDonald's immediately. Hortense, you have succeeded where all fast-food advertising in the last five years has failed. #nostalgia

    oh wow--that disney educational thing had clips of the disney halloween special I would wear the tape out of when I was little--the scariest vignette was the one where there was an escaped gorilla on the loose, followed shortly by night on bald mountain #nostalgia

    Oh god, I totally forgot about the McDonald's happy meal pumpkin. For some reason those turned into bath toys at my house- my parents washed our hair with that pumpkin waaaay after Halloween was over. #nostalgia

    I think Glo Worms are probably safe. I'm having trouble picturing a sexy bedbug. Frankly, I have a fairly dirty mind, so if I can't picture it, we might be in the clear.

    That cupcake doll picture is evoking olefactory memory impressions, which are supposedly impossible in humans.

    Also, at least they didn't give Twinkie a makeover. He's my favorite.

    @the_pest: I never even had one, but I am imagining the sickly-sweet plasticy baked smell now. I think a friend may have had one. I remember the popping sound they made with those stiff rubber skirts.

    I have olfactory memory impressions often, too. I think they're awesome. I see something, remember a smell, or smell something, and remember it. :D Maybe that's not the same thing as OMI, but close enough for me.
