One of my favorite Peanuts specials of all time. Loved it since I was little, and still love it today. Linus believes in a character called "The great Pumpkin" nobody believes in him, Sally wants to though since she's in love with him, but this would be her first time to go trick or treating with her friends.
Most of the time is focused on Linus and his belief in "The Great Pumpkin" such as children believe in Santa, Linus believes in The Great Pumpkin. Charlie's costume is messed up, almost all of them are ghosts (Except Lucy is a witch) But Snoppy' s character is a WWI flying ace and there is a scene with him flying his doghouse, imagining it is a WWI plane that get' s shot down.
While trick-r-treating all the kids get candy. All except Charlie Brown of course who always says, "I got a rock", meanwhile Sally waits with Linus for the Great Pumpkin that never shows and she gets angry at him. Eventually Linus stays all night at the pumpkin patch waiting for "The Great Pumpkin." While the others go to a party and have fun, asking Charlie Brown to model for a pumpkin.
At the end of the movie The Great Pumpkin never shows, it's the first day of November but Linus Hans't given up saying that he knows he'll be there next year.
Love this special, not as much as the Christmas one but I've noticed something. There have been a lot of spoofs to this version. They've made fun of it on MAD TV, Family guy, Simpson's did a Tree house of horror special on it making Milhouse be Linus. So many spoofs of it, some good, some bad, but the original is always the best. Enjoy seeing it when u can. It's worth a watch. Till then, Ciao Bloggers
