If there ever was an "Autumn Lake" Hallowe'en TV special, it would probably sound something like this. Not really, but hey, I had to do all the voices myself (even Christine!). The mood is right even if the voices aren't. It's obviously modeled on the Charlie Brown TV Specials and shamelessly so.

Happy Hallowe'en!
