Recap episode 8-12 "Seven Little Indians" or The Halloween Episode that wasn't (part 2)

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope it's cold and dark and foggy and spooky wherever you are. Remember that if you wear a costume, it's supposed to be scary so that the free-roaming Halloween souls don't inhabit your body.

But first things first. I left you all shivering with antici-pation yesterday in part one of the recap of this episode. Andy was dead, George Clooney was probably dead, and some weird guy who looks like Rod Serling is creeping around saying "Tootie."

WHATEVER WILL BECOME OF THE GIRLS AND BEVERLY ANN?

Recap episode 8-12 "Seven Little Indians" or The Halloween Episode that wasn't (part 1)

I could have sworn that this was a Halloween episode, but it seems to have aired in January of 1987. It certainly fits the spirit, what with the spookiness and the deaths and all.

It's odd that "The Halloween Show" is the only Halloween seasonal they ever did. In season six they had an episode air on Halloween, and it was the "Cruisin'" episode. Maybe "Seven Little Indians" was supposed to be a Halloween episode, but they didn't conceive it until too late in season eight and they couldn't guarantee they'd have another season.

But we open very Halloweeny, with audible rain and thunder, the house dark, and Beverly Ann, who has replaced Mrs. Garrett, sleeping in a chair in front of the fire.
