Al Delvecchio's Curse - On the Halloween episode No. 124 on the sitcom HAPPY DAYS/ABC/1974-84 an old lady places a curse on restaurant owner Al Delvecchio (Al Molinaro). When his right hand began to move uncontrollable, he feared the worse. His friends realized it was only in his mind and arranged a mock seance to dispel Al's fears. To remove the curse Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard) dressed in a Merlin costume and told Al to lie on a table. Reading a ceremony from the same book the old lady used Richie pronounced "Al, behold that the evil will be caste from your body when you see the eyes of Isis and the bones of Zeus...Do I hear the sirens call of music" ["Take out the papers and the trash" accidentally played] "I am calling on the spirits of darkness. Gather oh spirits and help caste out the you know what from this pitiful hulk of a man. Enter spirits." [door opens and slams shut] "And now I call on the eye of Isis...I call on the bones of Zeus." [Thunder booms] "Hear me spirits arise, arise and cast out this curse...Presto! Chango!, Rotten Tomatoes!, Arise and cast out the curse." Richie's friends then dangled a large eye and a skelton in the air as evidence the curse was being removed. [Thunder booms, lightning flashes] Suddenly, the witch who placed the curse on Al bursts into the room. "Who calls upon the spirits of darkness? Who dares to challenge my powers of evil." Enter Fonzie saying, "Let me tell you something lady, your old curse is full of malarkey." To punish Fonzie for his insolence, the woman pulls out a voodoo doll dressed just like the Fonz and begins to twisted its head and abuse its body. At first the Fonz seems to be affected by her magic and falls to the floor in defeat. After a moment, the Fonz stands up and announces that he is fine. Ralph cries, "The Good Fairy saved him!" "No, no, no, Ralph," said Fonzie assuredly. "No Good Fairy, no magic, no witches. What we got here is a wonderful old lady who is a little misguided, you know. What you got here is the power of suggestion." With that, Al realized he was foolish to believe in such superstitious nonsense and recovers the use of his arm.
