Tom Hanks' SNL Fave David S. Pumpkins Is Getting His Own Halloween Special

David S. Pumpkins is returning in a way you haven't seen him before.

The Saturday Night Live sketch-turned-cultural-phenomenon brought to life by Tom Hanks last fall is coming back to NBC -- but this time in his own animated special. The half-hour will be set in a small suburban town on All Hallows' Eve, and centers on David Pumpkins and his skeleton sidekicks who show a young boy and his sister the true meaning of Halloween. He will naturally not answer any of their questions along the way.
