It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
That is why Charles M. Schulz drew the comic about Charlie Brown and his friends for 50 years until his death in 2000. The wonderful stories revolve around the lives of American children.
This is what Halloween is about: exactly 50 years ago on October 27, 1966, the Halloween episode with Charlie Brown and his friends was shown for the first time. Linus believes in a supernatural figure named The Great Pumpkin, which does not appear. However, the faith of Linus is not thereby shaken.
Best disguise: Snoopy as a pilot from the First World War.
Best moment: Instead of sweets, Charlie Brown receives stones from the neighbors - which leads to the fact that many spectators still send chocolate to the CBS station with the message: "For Charlie Brown".
It is worth seeing because it is one of the few peanuts that is concerned with religion and therefore stands symbolically for the faith of many Americans - or the turning away from it. The scene where Snoopy fights at his dog house against the Red Baron is shot down, gets to the party of his friends, and plays the song "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" by Schroeder as one of the most legendary moments of television history.
How I Met Your Mother - The Slutty Pumpkin
That is why Ted Mosby tells his children how he met their mother - he sells it as a hopelessly romantic search, sleeping with many other women.
That's what Halloween is all about: Ted met a woman dressed as a "sexy pumpkin" at the Halloween party in 2001. He returns every year, hoping to meet her again.
The best disguise: Ted as a presidential election election choice in 2000. Although the joke a few years later no one ever realized, Ted still wears the costume so his supposed dream woman recognizes him.
Best moment: Ted's best friend, Barney Stinson, flashes in three costumes (fighter, devil, penguin) with the same woman.
This is because: the theme is the main theme for Ted's search through the entire series. In the seventh season, he meets the sexy pumpkin (played by Katie Holmes), but notes that the two have no similarities. They are separated from each other in a friendly way - only after they have slept together.
