21 Things You Never Noticed About 'It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown' | Bustle

Halloween is coming, and that can only mean one thing — no, I am not talking about Pumpkin Spice Lattes (even though those are delicious). The impending return of All Hallow's Eve means it is time for the annual viewing of the fall classic It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! My most recent re-watching of the Halloween-set Charlie Brown flick has put the film in a totally new light. It turns out that It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is weird, and not at all how I remember it as a child.

And I watched It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown a lot growing up (I think we all did). The Charlie Brown special is as integral to Halloween celebrations as pumpkin carving and candy corn. Even if you aren't a Charlie Brown fan, you watch it because it's tradition, and traditions have to be upheld or the world will plunge into chaos (or at least that is what my mother says when she forces me to pose for the annual family Christmas card). If my mom says it, then it must be true — so everyone must watch It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown this fall, or else the ties of society will surely crumble.

Here are the weirdest things I noticed while re-watching It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

4. What is this?



How did this scene make it into a children's program? This looks like Charlie Brown and the Really Bad Acid Trip.

5. Lucy Is A Hot Mess



Lucy went out of her way to put paper around her pumpkin carving work space and then she totally disregards aforementioned paper and puts the pumpkin mush directly on the carpet. What is wrong with this girl?

10. Who Gives This Much Candy?




No child receives this much candy from one house at Halloween. This is just total craziness.
