Saturday Night Live‘s David S. Pumpkins — the bizarre Tom Hanks character that went viral last year — is returning to NBC for a Halloween-themed animated half-hour special.

Hanks will appear on camera at the beginning of the half-hour, as well as voice the animated character.

Set in a small suburban town on All Hallows’ Eve, the special centers on David Pumpkins and his skeleton sidekicks who show a young boy and his sister the true meaning of Halloween, answering none of their questions along the way.

I enjoyed the skit. This sounds DOA

This will either become a Halloween classic or be absolutely fucking terrible. There's no middle ground.

I'm a sucker for Halloween tv specials. Not familiar with this one but will watch

That's for David Pumpkins, not David S. Pumpkins.

Ah. I was looking up "hanks". Oops!

But it's gonna be alright. You can calm down.

This one has a better title.

This is the more accurate thread for sure.

Still not sure how this will succeed, except for turning up the WTF level to 11.
