There's an Aztec idol in the museum that catches the boy's attention -- he lingers while the rest of his classmates move on, and drops something in front of it. He kneels down to pick up the dropped object, but by kneeling down (and maybe reading an inscription?) activates an Aztec magic that turns him into a living version of the idol (bright red in color, I think). There's another boy who does the same with another statue, turns into a bright blue idol, and I think there's a battle of some sort. Don't remember how the story ends, but I do remember that the title credits used the "Monster Mash" song.<br /><br />Does this ring a bell at all? Any advice on where to go to track down this strange but wonderful bit of childhood?Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769182429548648842.post-52497185567076479992010-09-30T00:11:21.776-05:002010-09-30T00:11:21.776-05:00This was only aired ONCE? Dude, I have it on tape!...This was only aired ONCE? Dude, I have it on tape! Along with ALL the other Disney specials you've written about. Yeah, I'm that awesome.<br /><br />Seriously though, this is an incredible blog my friend, and you deserve kudos. Let me know if you need help finding info on any Halloween specials, I fancy myself something of an expert. Actually, I have a version of Sleepy Hollow that's not on your list. It's CGI and entitled The Night of the Headless Horseman. Not the greatest adaptation, but it's got a great voice cast and some genuinely creepy moments. Ever see it?Rabbihttp://scrambledsignal.blip.tvnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769182429548648842.post-34826218776378073362008-10-08T13:27:00.000-05:002008-10-08T13:27:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
