The Halloween cartoons are probably my favorite Homestar cartoons of them all, and I’ve been anticipating this one for a long time. My favorite parts are the super-creative costumes, and this year is no letdown. I also love the pacing of this one, and a little character development. There are a few inside jokes, so Homestar novices be warned.
My favorite costume this year is a close call, between the Poopsmith and Stinkoman.
and if you click on the last candy corn, you’ll see Homestar imitating who he’s dressed up as
Some inside jokes I noticed:
It’s rightfully pointed out the house Coach Z trick-or-treats at has been seen before. It was the setting of the cartoon The House That Gave Sucky Treats.
The goblin, Homestar’s equivalent of Kang and Kodos (that is, he shows up every Halloween), dresses up as a Santaman.
I don’t know why, but I found the whole seance scene hilarious, what with the KOT eating lights and Strong Mad punching holes in the wall. Very funny.
