There were far too many complaints from mothers of young children about this 1949
movie– namely this 3+ minutes scene. Perhaps you too were one of those kids? Well,
then this will bring you nostalgic chills. My sweet cousin reminded me of this story
and I share it with you in good Halloweeny fun for earthweal open link spooktacular
weekend.

“Gather round the fire and share something spooky from your vatic repertoire in celebration of All Hallows. Links accepted until midnight Sunday when the great
candle blows out and all the skeletons scatter.” ~ earthweal.

Don’t show this one to the kids.

Happy All Hallows. And still, remember to expect miracles. xo

  Oh, I hope they don’t wake up later with nightmares. This is too scary for a child, methinks… but some kids love it. Thanks for the comment. Sending you sunlight. Lots!

  I agree, Sherry. Too spooky. More than this I cannot handle, so I do not watch the news… (cackling with you) Be well, dear one. I bless you, and may we bask in good news daily. Stay safe.
