AAAAHHHH! For 30 years I have had images floating around in my brain of little dragon muppets in a cave and I could not for the life of me remember what the hell they were from! Thank you SO MUCH Matt!
Same here. I kept remembering a muppet Halloween special that took place in a Frankenstein's lab or castle or something. I still don't know if this is the right one, or if it's just the Mandela Effect affecting my memory. At any rate, it's great to find this rarity here.
@carlozabbia1157 Yes, but Burgess Meredith, who narrated this, was The Penguin on the 60s Batman TV show and movie. Quite a wonderful actor because of a genius idea he had for his role. He couldn't quite handle the smoke from the cigarette his character constantly had, so he came up with the penguin noise to disguise his coughing.
Dude. I have tried many ways to find this thing that my family once recorded on VHS. Somehow, today, it simply ended up in my recommendations. This truly is destiny at work.
Oh wow!! Now I know I'm not crazy. I remember watching this, I was 10 & for yrs, for the life of me, couldn't remember the name, but so many other things about it. Thank you for this!! Its awesome & so much better than anything they've put out in the past number of yrs. Pretty much anything from the late 60s through the late 80s was the best stuff.
Well, it´s like Blanche on her crankiest day when she got dumped and found a grey hair..! Do not get in her way. Really, this is great! So much fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
What a cute little charming special can't say I saw that one back in the day but I'm glad I saw it now. I have to say I definitely want a Greevile puppet now !
What?!? OMG, I don't believe my eyes, or my ears!!!! Every few years I search for this hoping by some miracle it will get posted. Thank you Dinosaur Dracula for making my youtube dreams come true. :D
This reminds me of an old fairy tale. It was actually a pretty good little special, and I'm glad you found it! I'm surprised I haven't heard of it; I'm usually up to date on this type of thing.
Man I never thought I find this again, when I was a kid I had this on VHS with others like Ghostbusters, Garfield and so many others my memories escape me. Sadly the VHS went bad from constant rewinding (because if 12:05 - 12:16 lol). Miss it so much, thanks for uploading this.
Man, my VHS collection used to be gold. As a kid, I used to tape stuff over all the time, so at this point I have no idea what has been preserved or not. I never thought the nostalgia would hit me so hard as an adult.
you have no idea how happy you made me... I have looked for this for so many years... I just wish it was available it a better quality and not about to be lost to time x.x
This is a true retro 💎 gem of a find! 🎃🪄🧹 Thank you for uploading this. Anything from back in the day, my childhood, I'll take it! They don't make em like this anymore. 😭
I was 6/7 when this came out and never knew Abt it! I loved it! The little monsters were soooo cute and looked and sounded like Alf, my favorite when I was little! I want one lol
@DinosaurDracula - I love the nostalgia from this, I saw your Facebook post and thought i would look it up 😊 I remember watching this at my cousins Halloween party when I was 7 years old. 😅 I didnt know you had a UA-cam channel 😅 I have subscribed. Thank you for giving us such amazing content from the good old days 😊❤
This makes me nostalgic but I don't know why. I wasn't yet born when this came out but it was recommended to me and I'm experiencing it for the first time.
I was born in late 93 . Never seen or heard of this in my life until last year . Now I make it a tradition to watch every time Halloween is close . It’s so nostalgic . Maybe it’s because the rhea whom played as Blanche on golden girls ( which I watched at my grandparents when I was a child ) or maybe it’s because the camera quality . For some reason the 80s/90s is nostalgic for even those born in the 2000s. It’s just a cozy seeming time I suppose for all of us no matter the age
ChevyDude65 stop talking about the Ohio comment or Ohio will become a big tourist..............😅😂🤣. I can’t 😅🤣😂🤣 attraction. The rock n roll hall of fame and pro football hall of fame and now a dead witch, look out Florida And California. 😅🤣😂. 🤔👍👍loved your reply.
I missed this the first time around because the only channel I had was CBS. This evil witch character reminds me of Paige Matthews' past life as the Enchantress. I always though Rose and Rue could've played granddaughter and grandmother because they look a lot alike.
I don't know why I don't remember this one as I was the target age demo at the time. It's a fun special that I would have loved as a kid. Those plot holes, though! 😆
OMG Rue McClannahan as a witch - can't get any better!
@Indie-Annie Jones Oh, it could have if Rue McClanahan had ever played Snow White's stepmother!
@@daniellevinson6975 or Cinderella's stepmother.
@@xXLunatikxXlul It's an interesting possibility, but Rue comes across as someone whose striking beauty made her pathologically vain.
💯
Awesome I never get sick of classics
808
All this and Burgess Meredith as narrator. Gorgeous. Thank you for uploading.
We’re all here 34 years later 😢
WOW the nostaligia is awesome. I remembered a lot of the dialogue and it's been decades. This was put together with a lot of talent and is timeless.
I loved Rue McClanahan and Burgess Meredith. Awesome actors and the show was surprisingly good.
AAAAHHHH! For 30 years I have had images floating around in my brain of little dragon muppets in a cave and I could not for the life of me remember what the hell they were from! Thank you SO MUCH Matt!
Greevils!
Same here and finally found this today !!! This is insane

fragile rock lol
Lol...that's cute!
She was banished to an underground kingdom somewhere beneath Ohio..It doesn't get spookier than that..lol.....
Oh lord.
Stuck under Ohio?
I’d be grumpy,too!
The surface Ohio isn’t much better.
Mother in law is banished there to 😂
As an Ohio native and resident can confirm
I live in Ohio.
I didn't even know this existed until now!
same.
Ditto
Really enjoyed this video 😊 thx for sharing.... smiles
Rue was an incredible actress. I have never seen this one before. She will forever be loved.❤
Thanks for the narration Oswald Cobblepot.
Wasn't that Danny Devito?
@carlozabbia1157 Yes, but Burgess Meredith, who narrated this, was The Penguin on the 60s Batman TV show and movie. Quite a wonderful actor because of a genius idea he had for his role.

Woah. That's Blanche Deveraux.
No it's Vivian Harmon!
Right?
And Frosty the Snowman
It is Rue McClanahan
Whoa is misspelled. It is either WHOA or WOE. Never "Woah"
Thanks 'Out On The Lanai' podcast for bringing me here. It was a lot of fun and I didn't see that ending coming
*_.. they were half reptile half game show contestant!_* I just about died laughing at that line...
Game show "contestant," not host.
@@ct3po776 , even better!

I'd love to see this with the commercials included, thank you for sharing this with us❤❤❤
I've seen this referenced sooooo many times on Dinosaur Dracula and now I am have finally withnessed it with my own eyes and ears. Great special!!
Well, it´s like Blanche on her crankiest day when she got dumped and found a grey hair..! Do not get in her way.
Really, this is great! So much fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
😂 Right?!

Can you believe it?! The Greevils are back! :-)
Is it hence already?
Haven't even started watching the video and already gave it a Thumbs up for it having Burgess Meredith as the narrator. =)
... I would've given it another Thumbs Up for having Alf, but UA-cam won't let me. =(
Omg im so used to see her as Blanche, this is such a different light to her. I love Rue. Xox R.I.P you beautiful golden gal
I remember watching this on tv as kid thanks for the upload
I don't remember this tv special but I enjoyed watching it. Thanks for the upload.
Rue is fabulous .I find she play the witch very good
This was mentioned on a Golden Girls group yesterday. Allot of people seem to think this is lost, so yay.
This reminds me of an old fairy tale. It was actually a pretty good little special, and I'm glad you found it!
I'm surprised I haven't heard of it; I'm usually up to date on this type of thing.
I've been looking for this for years!! I was starting to think it didn't exist. 😂
Funny.....I love these surprising little gems that surface occasionally😅
Man I never thought I find this again, when I was a kid I had this on VHS with others like Ghostbusters, Garfield and so many others my memories escape me.

TY for posting this. I couldn't remember the name of this and brought back so many great memories
I wish TV was still this epic 😭
Watching this, in 2024! So charming!
This makes me so happy!
Good sound quality!! Thanks 😊
This is so much better than my VHS copy! My mom recorded it right after The Halloween Door ghostbusters special
Funny you should mention the GB Halloween doors special it's on here and I just downloaded the episode but I don't remember this one
I don't remember the Ghostbusters special but I do remember the Garfield Halloween special
"buy anything wholesale" THE TRUE POWER LMAO!!!!!!!!
WHOA. That's Blanche 😮😮😮😮
with long hair Rue McClanahan sort of looks like Faye Dunaway
Eh Who😕?"
Yep!
Oh yea ;D
I want to be reborn into the 80s again.
Me too
I miss my toys, too
The dragons are so cute😊
you have no idea how happy you made me... I have looked for this for so many years... I just wish it was available it a better quality and not about to be lost to time x.x
This is a true retro 💎 gem of a find! 🎃🪄🧹 Thank you for uploading this. Anything from back in the day, my childhood, I'll take it! They don't make em like this anymore. 😭
Thanks for great Halloween 🎃 movie 🎬 🎞 🎥 👻👻👻👹👹👹💯💯💯
I’m a little sad the commercials were cut off…
Rip my dear one 🤲🏻🌹
I was 6/7 when this came out and never knew Abt it! I loved it! The little monsters were soooo cute and looked and sounded like Alf, my favorite when I was little! I want one lol
Thank you for this! Been searching for YEARS for this special that I had recorded back in the day.
thanks so much for this !!
I'm 37 and love this 👀👀😂😂😂
Anyone notice the voice of one of the three dragons at the game was ALF!!😄
I was thinking that their noses look like ALF. Haha
The special was produced by Paul Fusco, creator/performer of Alf
He also does the voice of her sidekick greevil
"Statue of limitations" sure was a short cameo for ALF!
A sweet tale of loyalty. Nice treat on Halloween night.
this is a cute special!
Damn. Opening right up with Burgess Meredith. This one's going to hit hard
I love her on the golden girls❤❤❤❤❤! I didn't know she was on a movie❤❤❤❤. I love her❤❤❤❤❤
I think it's funny how two versions of this get uploaded to UA-cam within a week of each other lol.
This was on when after I turned 4 and my grandad was 61.
Rue played a witch here and Bette White was a witch in The Paul Lynde Halloween Special. What about Bea Arthur??
Awesome 👏🏻 I’ll have to look 👀 for that one! 🎞️
She was a bartender and lounge singer on the Star Wars Holiday Special. That must count for something? 🙂
Weird UA-cam has been showing me some hidden gems I didn’t even thought they exist
Lol lol so much fun 😊 so many awesome memories thank you
Love Blanche ❤ I've never seen this before- cute!
"I'm sorry talking monster from another dimension who magically teleported into my bedroom but I'm afraid magic isn't real."
This is so cute! It came out the year I was born. I don’t remember ever watching this as a child. Yet found it and love it.
I knew it-that’s Rue McClannahan 💜. So weird seeing her not playing on Golden Girls lol
Blanche and Sophia were my favorite on the golden girls and Rue was a good witch on here
That.
Was.
Awesome.
OMG That is my wall paper, its still in my old bedroom back at my Moms house. Clouds and rainbow. I had a rainbow unicorn room.
Do I detect Paul Fusco(ALF) doing a few of the voices for the greevils
Wow 80's flashback to watching this when it premiered as a kid.
Oh my gosh - its Blanche! Loved her!!❤
Paul Fusco who created and voice acted Alf, the famous 1980's sitcom alien, voice acted the greevil Ersatz in this show.
This is a great one, love this one.
@DinosaurDracula - I love the nostalgia from this, I saw your Facebook post and thought i would look it up 😊

"Avarissa attempted to tempt Lewis with the very thing he wanted most- 'A Sega Genesis game console"
I totally missed this as a kid. Sleeping on the job…
I don't remember this. But I would totally have watched it. Rue Mclanahan was a great actress. These look like Jim Henson puppets.
This is basically a single sketch idea stretched over an entire half hour

The Greebles are what happens when a Skeksis nails someone from Melmak
Also they clearly couldn't afford hiring Fred Savage.... But mocked one up anyway
This makes me nostalgic but I don't know why. I wasn't yet born when this came out but it was recommended to me and I'm experiencing it for the first time.

My best friend used to talk about greevils . . . Only 30 years later I find out what it is 😂
I've never seen this is great
This is great!
That witch is a *wreckin’ machine*!!
I wish this had been a series
I don't know why I don't remember this one as I was the target age demo at the time. It's a fun special that I would have loved as a kid. Those plot holes, though! 😆
That McDonalds subliminar messege.
I forgot all about this so I grabbed my friend ALF and made a bowl of popcorn! lol🐓
🎉🎉Kewl🎉🎉 inner kid like Kewl Candy 🍬🍭 Korn🎉
never heard of this but i do say i love the music @ 8:42 ! sounds like phantom of the iopera!
damn man, this is awesome!
HorrorMovieReviewGuy Uh-huh .
One of the puppets seems to be voiced by the ALF voice actor🤔❓
Now only if i could find the hugabunch movie or rose petal place.
Wow they r on youtube now. I remember searching for them years ago.
