A blogger named Jason Willis tracked down this 1977 Halloween safety video in which he appeared at age seven. The video, a Centron educational film, pretty much takes issue with every aspect of children's rituals for the holiday. Don't wear black. Don't wear a mask. Stay away from your razor-spiked, dangerfest of a candy sack. Perhaps this film is what started the descent into shopping mall trick-or-treats and parking lot trunk parties. "Remember, there are a few people who will do things to hurt kids." Particularly if the kids are dressed in white robes and white, pointy hats, with reflective accents to make sure their getup is seen far and wide! -Via Dangerous Minds

I think Im in love with the 'Here, have some candy' woman at the end. Also the song that played at the end.

Since 1977, I believe we've managed to bypass all those safety rules by just going trick-or-treating along with the kids ourselves.
