About this show

"The David S. Pumpkins Halloween Special" is based on the wildly successful "Haunted Elevator" sketch from the Oct. 22, 2016 Saturday Night Live telecast that featured nine-time host Tom Hanks as mystery man David S. Pumpkins, on an elevator wearing a pumpkin suit and surrounded by two skeleton dancers -- Mikey Day and Bobby Moynihan.

So... it's a 30 minute long TV special based on the popular SNL David S. Pumpkins skit. All of the jokes from that skit are revisited in this special, and there's not much more than that. While there is some story involving a couple of kids meeting David S. Pumpkins and rescuing neighborhood kids stolen candy, the movie will leave you with more questions than answers about David S. Pumpkins (which is the main point/joke). It's ok, but really not as funny as the skit it's based on.
