When I was a kid I knew I could start getting excited about Halloween when Nickelodeon started re-running its 1986 production of "Marc Summers' Mystery Magical Tour." Though the 30 minute "special" was always on during October, its connection with Halloween was decidedly loose. Hence the title, I guess. The plot involves Marc Summers (no doubt cashing in on his new Double Dare fame) and his three "friends" who were all young children apparently playing themselves, including Jonathon Brandis. As they drive home from a movie their car breaks down and the group is forced to enter a spooky house on a stormy night to seek help. Magic, mystery, pratfalls, unexplained plot twists, and Lance Burton ensue. No word on why Marc Summers was hanging out with a couple of kids.
You can watch the whole thing HERE.
Or just read a much better and hilarious account of it HERE.
In other news, who knew Jonathon Brandis killed himself?
