INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
MONSTER PARTY GETS JACKED!
JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD bring you a high-spirited Halloween special that is bound to "pump" you up! So, grab your sharpest vegetable knife and be ready to carve out some time for an episode completely dedicated to… PUMPKINS!!!
For monster kids of all ages, the orange winter squash known as the pumpkin has been a popular symbol of Halloween. But the connection doesn't end there. Pumpkins and pumpkin-related characters have found their way into movies, TV shows, nursery rhymes, folklore, and more. And various versions of the "Sleepy Hollow" story have helped cement the image of the jack-o'-lantern in the minds of squash-curious people everywhere.
Join the MONSTER PARTY gang for a "hosts only" discussion of various aspects of pumpkins in genre pop culture. Is pumpkin carving actually "fun"? Why do the duties of a Pumpkin King require so much singing? Should PETA have gone after Silver Shamrock Masks? Is IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN folk horror? What did Peter Peter's wife do to deserve such treatment? And does pumpkin spice really make things taste better?
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, MONSTER PARTIERS! AND IF THE GREAT PUMPKIN EVER MANAGES TO SHOW UP… RUN!
