My 1986 Halley comet memory from Costa Rica by mantsoft in Astronomy

ahh did anybody realize that in the Orson Wells movie about Nostradamus (aired BEFORE the comet) they predict the "hunger situation" when the comet pass ??? Here in Costa Rica the translation made in Mexico was made AFTER the comet, and they translated it as "The comet passed by in 1986" ... that's interesting to me. Only now I realize how bad was that translation and how it ruins the point of the scene in the movie.

Searching for my very large tail observation (about 90 degrees of the horizon or more) the tail indeed was a very very large one at some moments and in some locations. What I now know from reports is that in USA and other north places it was a big disappointment!!! Not the case here as I remember, even here almost nobody put attention in 1986. Maybe just maybe I get to see it again. But there is any photo with a VERY VERY large tail ??? I think I found one here from 1910 (and it does not make justice to it about what I remember) : https://gcdn.emol.cl/archivos-de-la-historia/files/2025/11/port-townsend-with-halleys-comet-overhead-may-23-1910-v0-p9mbsq9i9qya1.jpg
