Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin: The R Version

Before reality shows and other weekly money makers flooded TV, old horror movies and cartoon specials were typically shown around Halloween on several standard television channels. This, lamentably, has mostly gone by the wayside. As anyone born before 1990 remembers, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" was a yearly standby bringing a lighthearted touch of fun to kids and elders alike. Now, it seems someone has resurrected the animated special in satirical claymation form. I noticed this clip on Youtube today, which also makes a hilarious mockery of other pranks, relationships, and themes common in the Peanuts Gang. A few moments might be a little over the top for some fans, so don't say I didn't warn you.
