As you're gearing up for spooky season we watched the spookiest episode in Saturday Night Live history. It's the infamous Season 7 episode hosted by Donald Pleasence with musical guest Fear. This episode aired on Halloween night and the show took full advantage of that. We get a British soldier sawing his own leg off, a woman cleaning up the mess from her recently murdered husband through song, a pumpkin committing seppuku, a family sitting down to a sugar breakfast, a random John Belushi cameo, a talk show ending in murder, Brian DePalma ripping off Hitchcock, body horror with joggers, a Jekyll & Hyde Jerry Lewis, and most terrifying of all a musical version of MacBeth. This one's got a lot of blood, a lot of gore, and concludes in one of the most infamous musical performance of all time. Grab your smashing pumpkin and don't forget to vomit for luck . Enjoy! This episode was fan requested, if you'd like to request anything hit us up!
