Loss Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-P Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I thought Schiavone was actually really good in this. Much better than anyone in the previous videos. He's the one who should have get Cheatum's part. Here he's downright pedobear approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 The production time/money WCW puts into these things. Tony gets to show off his acting range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 You want to talk about WCW wastes of money--Schiavone's salary was so good that he got to live in this giant scary fenced-in mansion. This accomplished absolutely nothing--it aired DURING the PPV for Christ's sake--but it's probably the best of the mini-movies so far.

TravJ1979 Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 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.

garretta Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 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.)

soup23 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Agree this is a waste of money but damn if I wasn't entertained by it and Tony gives a hell of a performance. One of the more memorable PPV openings of the 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Sleeze Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 This is so bizarre but it is top of the line production for 1993 but I do not understand the point of this at all. The punchline is not very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
