Halloween is upon us! That means fans of the ghoulish holiday should start unpacking their spooky decorations, carving up their jack-o-lanterns and begin preparing for a slew of celebratory specials to hit the small screen — like the 1966 animated classic “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.” “On Halloween night, The Great Pumpkin rises out of his pumpkin patch and flies through the air with his bag of toys for all the children,” Linus explains to his befuddled friend.

The Halloween mainstay “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!” may be old, but it’s still a ratings treat for ABC. When the 1966 Halloween special was shown in early October this year it brought in 6.28 million viewers for the network.
