Trivia
Because Bobby Moynihan couldn't shave off the beard he grew for Me, Myself and I (2017), they simply applied white make-up over it.

Goofs
When the "magic pumpkin" is first discovered and the pumpkin patch starts to shake, Dotty hugs onto her brother's legs. When the angle switches, they are standing apart and she hugs onto his legs again.

Quotes
David S. Pumpkins: [singing] When I was born, I was a baby/ To my mother, who was my mom/ But the father I had/ Well, he was my dad/ And I come from the place where I'm from.
Pumpkin Chorus: [singing] Yes, he comes from the place where he's from!

Loved it!

Silly, but if you like Halloween or SNL, not a waste of time by any means. It's quirky and inane, like the Addams Family. Not as classy or deep, but witty in a sort of hit and run Oscar Wilde kind of way. Halloween used to be simple and more fun than bloody or violent. It isn't the classic that The Great Pumpkin is, but it is sort of like the next best thing. There is nothing like Rocky Horror, but Hedwig is pretty cool if you want more of that kind of thing. Same with David S. Pumpkins. It is family friendly, for the most part, unless you are a Klansman.
