Tony Schiavone greets some kids who are trick-or-treating, then turns into a monster to scare the kids, who keep casually working Halloween Havoc into casual conversation in an extremely unnatural way. This is immaculately produced, and who knows how much they spent on it. Oh, WCW.

I watched this last night and a couple of things stood out:

 

1. The kids want to hurry home and watch Halloween Havoc, but it's Halloween, a week AFTER Havoc happened.

2. I imagine this is what Schiavone acts like in real life minus turning into a monster.

Am I the only one who thought that Tony would morph into Cheatum? Who the hell in the Turner organization got the bright idea to hire someone with a midget fetish, of all things?

 

Tony was really good here. I especially liked his delivery of the line "Why don't you kids come inside and have a bite of my wife's......cookies?" That may be the funniest line in a WCW mini-movie to date. I also liked the kid poking Tony in the nose. I hope he was a nice kid in real life, because I couldn't imagine putting up with that kind of thing when the cameras were rolling and brattish behavior in real life to boot.

 

As good as Tony was, I think Jesse would have been a little scarier, and he wouldn't have even had to wear a costume; his normal outrageous apparel would have been scary enough. He probably wanted too much money to do it, though.

 

To Trav's point, if the WWF can say it's Thanksgiving at any time in November for the Survivor Series, surely WCW can celebrate Halloween a week early for Havoc. trick-or-treating and all. (Actually, I think it wasn't too many years after this that the WWF stopped tying Thanksgiving in with Survivor Series so they could run the card in their normal Sunday night pay-per-view slot.)
