If you enjoyed trick-or-treating as a child, you know that there were a lot of rules to the candy collecting game. We're not sure who started the list of rules, but we now know since 1977 people have been creating ridiculous Halloween PSA videos about them.

The hideous costume choices in this video are terrifying. The disappointing demonstration of creating safe costumes brings a tear to my eye as a mother throws away an "unsafe" mask. A smile does come to my face thinking about all the fun these kids must have had filming the video, but I wonder how many times they had to fall down to show the danger of unexpected curbs.

Scar Stuff blogger Jason is the man we all need to thank for finding a reel of this old PSA. He actually acted in it, and he's turned it into a YouTube video. He posted the two-part video to his own blog and has been receiving great feedback for his childhood acting. If only we still had these cool PSAs now! Maybe the KLAQ Morning Show could make one?
