Linus waited in vain for the Great Pumpkin to appear in the pumpkin patch — and Republicans may find they don't have much better luck waiting for a speaker to emerge from their caucus.

Undeterred, Linus is convinced that the Great Pumpkin will come, and he even persuades Charlie Brown’s little sister, Sally, to remain with him and wait. At 4:00 AM the following day, Lucy ...

While he’s busy trick or treating with the gang and attending the party, Linus and Sally find themselves spending the night in the town’s pumpkin patch, hoping the Great Pumpkin arrives.

Linus’ friends poke fun at him, and only one stays back, Sally Brown. As the night progresses, Linus falls asleep in the patch with The Great Pumpkin, nowhere to be found.

Linus waits for the Great Pumpkin, Lucy fights with Charlie, and Snoopy gets into some mischief on Halloween night. Tune in to watch for free with a trial of AppleTV+.

First released in 1966, the holiday classic features Charlie Brown preparing for a party, Snoopy setting his sights on the Red Baron, and Linus patiently awaiting a pumpkin patch miracle.
