I mean, might as well make a topic for this now

What did everyone think of it?

I didn't like this one as much as last Halloween (or maybe I'm just disappointed it wasn't as long) and I kinda wish it was more like The House That Gave Sucky Treats, but with Homestar not updating as much as it used to, I guess I shouldn't be complaining. My favorite part was the escape room scene, despite being pretty immature. Also Large Bean. And Teen Girl Squad. And Hot Strong Mad Oyster something something. I only recognized like one costume this year, which is also disappointing.

Well, we all did a terrible job of accurately guessing their costumes ahead of time this year.

Gotta say, Marzipan may be dressed as Micheal Jackson playing a movie I never knew existed, but by gawd does she look like an Elvis impersonator.

I liked coach Z's long hair/goatee look.

Strong Sad doesn't say anything at the end. There's so many one-liners from Ferris Bueller's day off he could have used. This is also the only movie reference I got at all.

My favorite joke was "tropical Beetlejuice."

Poopsmith's hair threw me off of Dune. I was guessing he was the Heatmiser.

I liked Marzipan's costume! That was probably the only thing I got without having to wait until the end. And on the old Homestar fanfic site, there was put up an idea for a Halloween toon in which Homestar dressed as Ferris Bueller.

This had the feel of a Strong Bad Email, which isn't a bad thing. I remember an interview where the Brothers Chaps said they'd gotten to the point where they usually came up with a lot of the material for an episode first and then go hunting for an email they can pretend it was a response to, and it was starting to show. I'd be fine with just ditching the pretense and making "Strong Bad rants about X" cartoons most of the time.

[from the Hey Hometar! (Halloween '15) thread] I'm not very good at these guessing games, but I got a strong TiVo box vibe from :sm: . Would that be too modern of a reference for them?


I CALLED IT! I TOTALLY CALLED IT! I don't really care about the toon this is the BEST HALLOWEEN EVER!

Only costume I could identify off the bat was Strong Mad as the Tivo mascot and Pom Pom as Wilson the volleyball. And the Knight as an Astro-pop, of course.

Anyway, I thought this year's cartoon was pretty funny. But maybe I'm just a sucker for the old "mundane annoyances treated as dreadful and frightening" routine.

"The Strong Mad Oyster Smoothie Breath Caked Armpit Latte! Oh sweet Jennifer, there's no coming back from this one..."

I actually recognized four costumes this year: Homestar (I actually knew it immediately, which has only happened a few times in the past for me), Pom Pom, Coach Z, and Strong Sad. And the Knight, but that doesn't really count. I thought Marzipan was just regular MJ at first actually, so I kind of got that one, but not really.
