It’s very spooky on Halloween night.
The ghosts and goblins will give you a fright.

Trick or Treat! I originally compiled this tasty treat back in October 2011. The original links have been dead and buried for quite a while. After, getting many requests I decided to resurrect this fright fest of eighties goodies just in time for Halloween. For additional scares Volume One is still available here.

In case you missed it the first time it’s here to scare you again you’ll have skeletons of fun.
