Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. 1A Halloween special, it was the third Peanuts special and second holiday themed special, following A Charlie Brown Christmas to be produced and animated by Bill Melendez. It was also the first Peanuts special to use the titular pattern of a short phrase, followed by Charlie Brown, a pattern which would remain the norm for almost all subsequent Peanuts specials. Its initial broadcast took place on October 2. CBS, preempting My Three Sons. The original sponsors were Coca Cola, the original sponsor of A Charlie Brown Christmas, and the Dolly Madison brand of baked snack foods, which would go on to be a longtime co sponsor of the Peanuts specials on CBS. CBS re aired the special annually through 2. ABC picking up the rights beginning in 2. Halloween season. The program was nominated for a 1. Emmy Award. It has been issued on home video several times, including a Remastered Deluxe Edition of the special released by Warner Home Video on September 2, 2. Its Magic, Charlie Brown which was released in 1. To celebrate its 4. Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown The Making of a Television Classic includes the entire script, never before seen photographs, storyboard excerpts, and interviews with the original child actors who provided the voices of the Peanuts gang. A history of the program and the various religious interpretations of Linus sincere belief in the Great Pumpkin are explained in the 2. A Charlie Brown Religion. With fall in full swing, the Peanuts gang prepares for Halloween. In the cold open, Linus and Lucy go out to the local pumpkin patch to find a pumpkin. Lucy selects the largest one they could find, and poor Linus has to be the one getting it back to the house, only to be very distraught when it turns out Lucy is going to gut it to become a jack o lantern. After the opening credits, Snoopy ends up helping Charlie Brown a bit while hes out raking up a pile of leaves, only to have Linus jump into it with a large lollipop. Then Lucy entices Charlie to try to kick the football. Meanwhile, Linus writes his annual letter to The Great Pumpkin, despite Charlie Browns disbelief, Snoopys laughter, Pattys assurance that the Great Pumpkin is a fake, and even his own sister Lucy who is watching TV and reading a TV Guide with her picture on it making a violent threat to make her brother stop. Only Sally, Charlie Browns younger sister, who is smitten with Linus, supports him. When Linus goes out to mail the letter but cannot reach the mailbox, Lucy refuses to help him so he uses his blanket to open the box and throws in the letter. On Halloween night, the gang including Sally goes trick or treating, each with their own costume. Most dress as ghosts in simple white sheet costumes Charlie Brown botches his costume with errant scissor work, and Pig Pens trademark dust cloud makes him easy to identify, while Lucy opts to dress as a witch, as she perceives it as being the opposite of her real personality. On the way, they stop at the pumpkin patch to ridicule Linus for missing the festivities, just as he did the previous year. Undeterred, Linus is convinced that the Great Pumpkin will come, and tries to convince Sally to join him Sally, against her better judgment but acting almost entirely on her infatuation with Linus, agrees to skip trick or treating to be with her sweet babboo. During trick or treating, the kids receive various goodies except for Charlie Brown, who gets nothing but rocks. After going back to the pumpkin patch to tease Linus and Sally, the gang goes to Violets Halloween party. Neither Lucy nor Charlie Brown can believe that the latter even got invited to a party hosted by the notoriously snobby Violet Charlie Brown breaks out into a happy dance upon receiving the invitation as Lucy assumes it was a mistake. Meanwhile, Snoopy, wearing his World War Iflying ace costume, climbs aboard his doghouse imagining it to be a Sopwith Camel fighter plane to fight with the Red Baron. After a fierce but losing battle, Snoopy makes his way across the countryside to briefly crash the Halloween party, where he is entertained by Schroeders playing of World War I tunes on his piano two upbeat songs, then two slow songs, both of the latter songs make Snoopy cry and then goes to the pumpkin patch. When Linus sees a shadowy figure rising from the moonlit patch, he assumes the Great Pumpkin has arrived and faints. When Sally sees that it is only Snoopy, she furiously yells at Linus for making her miss out on the Halloween festivities as Charlie Brown and the others come to get her. As they leave, Linus, still convinced that the Great Pumpkin will materialize, promises to put in a good word for them if he comesan off the cuff remark that he fears, because of the uncertainty, will scare the Great Pumpkin away namely, because he said if instead of when. At four oclock the next morning, Lucy realizes that Linus is not in his bed. She finds her brother asleep in the pumpkin patch, shivering. She brings him home, takes off his shoes, and puts him to bed. Later, Charlie Brown and Linus are leaning against a wall, commiserating about the previous nights disappointments. Charlie Brown attempts to console his friend, admitting that he has done stupid things in his life also this only infuriates Linus, who sets off on an angry rant vowing that the Great Pumpkin will come to the pumpkin patch next year, as Charlie Brown listens with an annoyed look on his face and the credits roll. Voice actorseditViewer responseeditCharles Schulz wanted Charlie Brown to get a rock at one house. Melendez suggested it happen three times, and while executive producer Lee Mendelson said no, he was overruled. Charlie Browns repeated line of I got a rock caused some stir among many viewers of the show, according to Charles Schulz in the book and retrospective TV special Happy Birthday, Charlie Brown. Schulz said that after the program first aired, bags and boxes of candy came in from all over the world just for Charlie Brown. Critical receptioneditExecutive producer Lee Mendelson told The Washington Post that the sequence with Snoopy flying his doghouse was one of the most memorable animated scenes ever. He also said that of all the Peanuts TV specials, I believe Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is Bill Melendezs animation masterpiece. ProductioneditSimilar to the earlier A Charlie Brown Christmas and Charlie Browns All Stars specials, this Its The Great Pumpkin was sponsored by Coca Cola and Dolly Madison Cakes. These advertisements were replaced in later broadcasts and edited out in the videoDVD releases. The music was performed by the Vince Guaraldi Sextet.
