Lost Goodwill Halloween Commercial (Found!)

Boy, the thumbnail pics on YouTube can really get you excited, can't they? I've had a few false start where I thought, "COULD IT BE?!?"

Then I started the video and thought, "Dammit".

Perhaps try r/tipofmytongue as well?

I want to share what may be a huge break in my search. A Lost Media reddit user with advertising experience in Wisconsin wrote me directly and told me that a gentleman by the name of Frank L Anderson was the creator of this commercial.

Mr. Anderson is a writer, producer and artist in the Appleton, WI area who has done freelance commercial work between Milwaukee and Green Bay for a number of years.

I have been researching Mr. Anderson and his work and have reached out to him directly. I have also reached out to some other sources he has worked with and am digging up others.

Hoping to have some big news soon and that this is the breakthrough I've been looking for.

This is great news!
Did he work with anyone else on the commercial that might have a copy of it?

So I've found 2 people in Wausau who have been seen this, 2 in La Crosse, and found a tweet by a person in Green Bay referencing the commercial in 2013.

This absolutely MUST be from North Central Wisconsin Goodwill. All of these cities fall under them.

I have already contacted them, but feel they must be recontacted, perhaps with a different approach. More researching of an angle must be done here.

I have further posted about this on the Wisconsin sub-reddit in the hope of finding this on a home recording of a Packers game or something like that.

I live in Wisconsin also in the viewing areas you talked about. I believe I have seen this commercial, and although I do not have a video of it, I believe it might have shown even just a few years ago, maybe 2017-2019. It had little figures dressed as witches and other costumes, very similar to the video he shared with you. It had a male narrator and I remember hearing a spooky laugh, too. I think it was on Fox 11 around 6 o'clock because I remember it was around the time of Jeopardy. Hope this helps in finding it. Either way, it was fun thinking of this commercial again since I found it kind of cute.
