I'm trying to locate a special (probably 30 minutes but maybe an hour long) that was played around Halloween. I do not remember if it referenced the Halloween holiday specifically or was merely spooky and therefore a natural to be played at that time of year. What I do remember (or think I remember) was that it was hosted by Vincent Price and the setting was an old house. At one point, Price (or whoever it might have been) discussed why the number 13 is unlucky while a bit of (very limited) animation illustrated his explanation. I saw it a few times. The last time I remember seeing it was on a UHF channel in the early 80s. That was probably U68 which was a New Jersey stationed that reached us here on Long Island.
I checked out a few things on Vincent Price's IMDB page that looked promising but so far I haven't had any luck. For example, I thought it might have been an episode of The Hilarious House of Frightenstein or perhaps some segments of that show edited together. But none of the episodes I've watched on YouTube look anything like I remember and, while very brief animated title cards introduce some of the segments in Frightenstein, there doesn't appear to be any longer animated pieces in the show. Likewise "Once Upon a Midnight Scary" has no animated sections. IMDN lists something called The BOO Show from 1971 that credits Mr. Price as the host but I can't find any info on it anywhere and I'm not sure if the program I saw was that old.
Has anyone seen this special? any help tracking it down would be greatly appreciated.
