    It's an hand-drawn animated cartoon/PSA on Halloween safety staring Peter Pumpkin, a kid with a witches hat, a pumpkin head, and what looks like an orange poncho (possibly with Unicef on it.)

    Dialogue I remember:
    "Don't criss-cross across the street. Walk on one side, then the other. Don't forget your flashlight!"

    Something about masks impeding your vision. "Makeup's better."

    I asked about this a few years back, but there's a bunch of new people on the boards so I'll ask again. I would love a copy of this, but Google has failed me. I've got it almost committed to memory but I haven't seen it since I was about 10. I would have seen it on the Buckshot Show (a local kids show in Calgary) so it might be a Canadian thing. I don't know why I'm obsessed with this thing, but I'd love to track it down. Help!

    Have you tried youtube? It's amazing how much truly obscure stuff shows up there.

    It sounds like this one, but this one is 1985. Maybe it is similar.
    Anything can happen on Halloween...

    Thanks for taking a look folks. That means a lot. theworstwitch, that's a pretty cool video - love the floating masks at the start.

    The one I'm looking for is 100% hand drawn and it's probably 2 minutes long at most (I think the shortness of it is what made it stick.) I've scoured youtube pretty well, and I'd rank my google skills fairly highly. But no luck.

    xtina666, you've seen it? Awesome. Maybe that helps narrow it down to a Canadian thing. I wonder if it was actually unicef? (BTW, great avatar!)

    I don't think this is the one you're looking for, but I thought I'd share anyway
