Day 28: It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2026

31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2026:
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)

It's the Halloween Tradition of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown".  A fun bit of Halloween Trick-or-Treat animation.  Nostalgia is quite a drug!  I oft think "I got a rock!" when something goes wrong, which it seems to do more often than I like, come to think of it.

Side note: From everything I've ever read, composer and Jazz musician, Vince Guaraldi, was and extremely angry man, yet he created some of the happiest music on Earth with the various Charlie Brown shows.  I think of that way too much every time I hear any music from the "Peanuts" shows. 

Also, I'm sure many of you are asking if I did this one only to save time.  Well, I'm not NOT saying I did it 'cuz it would be theoretically easy to do, but it still seemed to take way too long.  Sigh...  And, yeah, that rock looks more like a gray muffin, but that's the way it looks in the show and it would be a travesty to change it!  Well, that may be a bit too far, but, y'know...  That's what it looked like.

Three more days to go, and you better believe I'm counting them down!
