Anything can happen on Halloween

“Anything can happen on Halloween, a cat turn into a bat.”  I remember that as song lyrics from this cheesy Halloween movie growing up.  It sounded like a David Bowie song.  I don’t remember the movie’s name but I’ll never forget the guy singing those lyrics.   Wait,  I just found it on youtube!  This was [...]
