Halloween Through The Years!

The child has been wearing the same costume all week. The adult just wants to watch Hocus Pocus without another interruption. Between them, mrthomasenglish squeezes a changing relationship with Halloween into a short comedy sketch, playing every character himself.

"Halloween Through The Years!" starts with treat bags and candy-fueled anticipation, then moves to teenagers whose boredom disappears when they hear a friend has an empty house. Their mother barely gets to question their lack of costumes before the door slams.

By the party years, Disney characters are on the dance floor: Elsa, Gaston and Winifred Sanderson join a deer under flashing green lights. Then comes the sharp change of pace: a couple indoors, a movie to watch and a doorbell that keeps ringing.

The Short drew roughly 417,000 views in its first day, more than six times the channel's usual Shorts start. It also arrives alongside another costume-themed success: "Wear The Costume!" has passed a million views since its October upload.

Viewers are adding stages the sketch leaves out. One suggests people in their sixties eagerly running to hand out candy; others describe being adults who enjoy giving treats, or who feel too old to collect them but have no interest in a party. The sketch's grumbling movie-watchers aren't the only possible destination.

What viewers say

You need to add "In Your 60s" when we run to the door so excited to pass out candy.
