Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter this special originally aired children all over the country sent candy to Charlie Brown out of sympathy.
- GoofsWhen Sally decides she's going to join Linus in the pumpkin patch instead of trick-or-treating with the others, her ghost costume she was holding vanishes suddenly.
- Quotes
[repeated line]
Charlie Brown: I got a rock.
- Crazy creditsLinus and Charlie Brown are at the wall and Charlie tells Linus that he's done stupid things in his life, too. Then Linus keeps on shouting during the credits about how sitting and waiting in a pumpkin patch wasn't stupid.
- Alternate versionsThe version of the show broadcast on CBS from the late 1970s until it went to ABC was edited, cutting out most of the trick-or-treat/I got a rock sequence. This version was also time-compressed. Some older video releases also edit this sequence and also the scene where Snoopy dances along to Schroeder's World War I-era piano music. Later airings on CBS in the late 1990s would also cut the scene where Lucy pulls the football away when Charlie Brown attempts to kick it. The Paramount video release is unedited.
- ConnectionsEdited into Blue Peanuts (1987)
Featured review
Great Halloween feature!
This is a very good animated feature! It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is very funny and I am surprised it is still poplar today! If you get chance to watch it then do so because it is really a classic and great for Halloween!
