The plot is that the Peanuts gang is getting ready for Halloween. Linus writes a letter to the Great Pumpkin despite everyone's disbelief. On Halloween the gang goes trick-or-treating. Linus persuades Sally to sit and wait for the Great Pumpkin with him and she agrees. While trick-or-treating the gang gets all sorts of candy and apples and popcorn and money except for Charlie Brown, prompting the classic saying "I got a rock." Everyone, except for Linus and Sally, goes to Violet's party following the trick-or-treating. Snoopy in-visions himself yet again as the Red Baron but he soon loses the battle, crashes the Halloween party, and visits the Pumpkin patch. A shadow then rises over that pumpkin patch and Linus faints. I won't tell you how it ends but you can watch it on Thursday, October 28th, 2010.
