"Happy Halloween!" from the whole gang.

Halloween is an important holiday for the characters in the Homestar Runner universe. The Brothers Chaps like to make a big toon each year for Halloween.

Traditions

Every Halloween, The Brothers Chaps have all of the main characters wear different Halloween costumes. These costumes are usually characters or people that were popular somewhere around the 1960s, '70s, '80s and '90s. These costumes often are not easily recognizable, and other characters will have trouble identifying them.

Unlike many toons and Strong Bad Emails, the Halloween toons feature every main character. Each year, Homsar appears in an Easter egg after clicking on something that has to do with The Poopsmith, save for Homestarloween Party, in which he did not appear at all (because he had not yet been created).

Starting with The House That Gave Sucky Treats, after the toon is over, the characters will all group together. As of Pumpkin Carve-nival, clicking on some of the characters while grouped together will start a short conversation, usually about the character's costume.

A running gag throughout many Halloween toons is for Homestar, or on rare occasions someone else, to mention Witch's Brew. This started in Pumpkin Carve-nival when Homestar (actually Strong Bad dressed as Homestar) mentioned Witch's Brew in odd context throughout the toon.

The Goblin is a recurring character in almost every Halloween toon. He was created in the first Halloween toon, Homestarloween Party, when Homestar imagined him while telling a Halloween story. While Homestarloween Party had him in the toon for a long while, The Goblin often makes cameo appearances.

The Spooky Woods is a recurring setting in almost all Halloween toons. The Halloween House seems to be located in these woods. This is also where some characters decide to host different Halloween related activities.
