The Brady Bunch: Fright Night

Brad Radnitz's last Brady story is the first directed by Jerry London, and they both do a fine job of blending laughs and scares, just in time for Halloween.  It starts out as a boys vs. girls episode but turns into a kids vs. Alice episode.  The parents' attitudes are interesting, since they allow the girls to get even, but they do punish all the kids after the joke goes too far.  Note that this is our first glimpse of the attic, much like it would be during Greg's tenancy, only more cluttered of course.  And I have to say that this is the first Brady episode with several tacky outfits, although the extremes of '70s television fashion have yet to be unveiled.
