"Happy Halloween!" from the whole gang.

Halloween is an important holiday for the characters in the Homestar Runner universe. Since 2000, the first year of the website's run, The Brothers Chaps have liked to make an annual big Halloween toon every year up to and including 2009, after which Homestar Runner went on hiatus, before again making them since 2014. Since 2003, Strong Bad has hosted a slide show of Fan Costumes shortly after Halloween every year of the aforementioned active period (except 2004), as well as since 2015.
