How can we not discuss It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.

Come sit with me in the pumpkin patch and you'll see the great pumpkin with your own eyes!

It's my favorite!! I love Linus, he's one of my all time favorite characters. The quiet voice of reason in the face of blustery blowhards like his sister, from the unexpected mouth of a small child.

He seems to have a solid belief system, lol.

Thats a great cartoon. But, I don't understand snoopy and this Red Baron part in it. They should have made the Halloween party longer in the cartoon.

Best line in the whole show..."There are three things I've learned never to discuss in public; religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin." Even though it is tragically short it's probably the king of all Halloween specials. For me Mad Monster Party, while technically not a Halloween special, would be in the top 3 along with Nightmare Before Christmas.

And The Halloween Tree. Which, ironically, was created because Ray Bradbury was so bothered that the Great Pumpkin turned out to be just Snoopy. He thought that was sacrilege! Out of that was born the story of Mr. Moundshroud taking the children on a journey into Halloween.

I gotta be honest, I'm not a fan of the cartoon Halloween Tree. I love the book and try to read it every year, but the animation on the special was sub-par IMO.

I really did like the Halloween Tree. I thought the idea was great and the Mrs. and I were saying how great it would be if it were done again, today as a big blockbuster. I haven't seen it in awhile but I do remember thinking that it should be remade. It had a lot smart ideas.

Now granted, I haven't read the book, yet, but I plan to, this year.
Perhaps Peter Jackson should, as well.

You won't regret it. Probably the best Halloween themed book ever written. It's perfect in the blending of fun and creepy.

It's a Guitar Solo, Charlie Brown.

I hate all the stuff my work computer blocks! I better be careful with how many "Blocked" warnings I get though, I need the paycheck awful bad.
