# Talk:It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Could it be that he was dressed as a ghost, and the ghost costume was made out of a sheet, and the sheet had too many holes cut in it? None of which is mentioned in the plot section before it mentions that Charlie Brown got rocks instead of candy. Way to fail.
I would change it if all of the edits that I've ever made to this website didn't get reverted for no reason.

From the Music section, the song playing during the fallen Red Barron scene is not mentioned (and I'm unable to find it myself). It is apparently filler music throughout the entire show.
Note: in trying to find the song on Youtube, I heard an excerpt from it in the last thirty seconds of a cover of The Great Pumpkin Waltz, starting at 3:50. Would someone identify this song, please?

This piece is called "Trick or Treat." The 2022 soundtrack release calls it "Graveyard Theme (Trick or Treat)" although it is obviously a different tune than the "Graveyard Theme" which is used for the opening credits. 2600:4040:5D38:1600:30F1:64DC:842E:AC76 (talk) 18:45, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

This article calls both "Linus and Lucy" and "Great Pumpkin Waltz" the special's "theme." While both are featured prominently, and "Waltz" was written spcifically for this special, they are not used as the opening or closing theme. The music for the opening credits is called "Graveyard Theme," heavily overlayed with sound effects (thankfully absent on the 2022 soundtrack release.) The music for the end credits is "Charlie Brown Theme,"which goes back to the soundtrack of the unsold "Boy Named Charlie Brown."   2600:4040:5D38:1600:30F1:64DC:842E:AC76 (talk) 18:41, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

While the show was made for CBS, who aired it on October 27, 1966, the special actually aired a day earlier in Canada, on CBC. Usable reference: "Charlie Brown, Gang Celebrate Halloween". Saint John Times Globe. October 22, 1966. p. 19. (There are plenty of other listing references for this.) I will not be adding it myself, as I have a strong conflict o' interest with regards to Peanuts, but I ask that others consider whether this information should be added and if so, do so! -- Nat Gertler (talk) 04:36, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
