Synopsis

It's Halloween for Fat Albert and the Junkyard Gang, and they're ready for trick-or-treating. After a store clerk refuses to help them find costumes and kicks them out, the gang creates their own homemade outfits. They head to the movies to scare Searchlight Johnson, then encounter more mischief with Mudfoot Brown and an elderly woman named Bickwell. As expected, things don't go smoothly, and the gang ends up learning a few lessons. Searchlight Johnson catches them misbehaving in the theater and ejects them. Mudfoot Brown ends up eating most of their candy, while old lady Bickwell turns out to have the best Halloween treats in town.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
