The Last Great Halloween Rootie Simms

A nostalgic and humorous return to a forgotten America! It's 1960 and the last year Trudy McFarlan can celebrate Halloween as a kid. Determined to make it the most mind-boggling Halloween since the beginning of time, Trudy plans a party so spectacular it'll make the Twilight Zone look like Romper Room! But first she has to contend with the Smelly boys who want to egg the party, a junior-high social climber who wants to hijack the party, a mother who wants to "dumb-up" the event with candy corn and Kool Aid, and even forces Trudy to invite a girl who wiggles her behind at Trudy's favorite guy. And on top of all that, Trudy has to construct a costume so unbelievably cool and scary that it'll change the course of Halloween history forever! Wax lips, candy cigarettes, Vincent Price movies, Pixie Stixs, and rubber bats-this is 1960 and this is where the Last Great Halloween still lives!
