Just a guess if this was Halloween 1982: Perhaps everything is well-stocked & untouched as this was right after the Tylenol/cyanide poisoning package tampering scare that occurred the month before. It just added to all the fears of the long-existing urban legends of all the rumors of Halloween candy being poisoned & tampered with and everyone was already freaked out & on edge with what happened with the Tylenol package tampering murders just weeks before this vid was shot. I do remember as a kid of them talking about “canceling” Halloween that year because of that. At least just the trick or treating part.
1:32 That Smurf mask is creepy as hell. Also, holy crap, I saw that same E.T. costume at 1:50 at a thrift store several years ago! It even had the same "flame retarded" label.

Such a cool peak into what was on the shelves of the time.
