It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, the animated Peanuts classic by Charles Schulz, premiered in October 1966. While Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang go trick-or-treating, Linus and Sally wait for the arrival of the title character. When the Great Pumpkin doesn't appear, Sally becomes irate about missing "tricks-or-treats," but faithful Linus is undeterred, vowing to wait again next year.
