Here's a repeat airing of the animated cartoon special "Halloween Is Grinch Night" (originally aired on October 29th 1977), as rebroadcast over the ABC Network via its Chicago O&O WLS Channel 7.
This, a sequel to Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," features Hans Conreid as both the Grinch and the narrator; the title character in this tale, out to cause grave harm on a rainy Halloween, is confronted by a kid named Eucariah. Music was by Joe Raposo (of Sesame Street, The Electric Company and Three's Company fame). All segments end with a "We'll Return After These Messages" bumper, and the next begins with the title card and "We now return to Halloween Is Grinch Night" (voiceovers by Bill Rice?)

About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The MCCTv (FuzzyMemoriesTV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s to early 80s, mostly) recorded off of TV (in Chicago or other cities now too); things which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: tapes@fuzzy.tv Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, please e-mail tapes@fuzzy.tv Thank you for your help!
