'''[[Halloween]]''' is an important [[Holidays|holiday]] for the [[Characters|characters]] in the [[Homestar Runner universe]], and is celebrated with traditional costumes, candies, and pumpkin-carving.

An annual big Halloween [[Toons|toon]] has been a tradition since [[homestarrunner.com|the website]] first launched in 2000. A new Halloween toon was produced by [[The Brothers Chaps]] every year through 2009; after a [[Hiatuses|hiatus]], annual toons resumed in 2014, and were then produced every year through 2023. In addition, [[Strong Bad]] has hosted a slide show highlighting and humorously riffing on [[Fan Costumes]] shortly after Halloween; this practice began in 2003 and ran from 2005 through 2009, resuming an annual schedule in 2015.

<span id="traditions"></span>
== <span class="mw-headline"> Traditions </span> ==

* Every major Halloween toon has the [[Characters|main characters]] dress up in different [[Halloween Costumes|Halloween costumes]]. These costumes usually relate to pop culture, especially from the '70s, '80s and '90s. The subjects portrayed are often rather obscure, and a running joke involves the characters' difficulty [[What are you supposed to be?|identifying each other's costumes]], not that [[I really like your costume|this prevents Homestar from being confident in his own guesses]].
* Unlike most other [[Toons|toons]] on the website, the Halloween toons feature [[Appearances By All 12 Main Characters|every main character]].
* [[Homsar]] frequently appeared in an [[Easter egg]] activated by clicking on something relating to [[The Poopsmith]].
** Homsar is not in [[Homestarloween Party]] (as that toon predated his creation), nor in the minor Halloween toons [[Which Ween Costumes?]] and [[A Prickly Scary Short]].
** Starting with [[The House That Gave Sucky Tricks]], his appearances did not require triggering an Easter egg; [[Haunted Photo Booth]] is the only exception.
* Starting with [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], after the toon is over, the characters will all group together and discuss one another's Halloween costumes. Since [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], clicking on selected characters while grouped together will start a short conversation with them and other characters, usually on the topic of the selected character's costume.
* A [[Running Gags|running gag]] throughout many Halloween toons is for [[Homestar Runner]], 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 a large number of Halloween toons. He was created in [[Homestarloween Party]], when Homestar imagined him while telling a Halloween story. The Goblin has since come to life and has made cameo appearances at different times, sometimes seeming to (or [[Happy Hallow-day|actually]]) appear [[Hammerspace|out of nowhere]].
* The [[Spooky Woods]] appears as a setting for almost every Halloween toon (though not necessarily the only setting). [[The Halloween House]] and [[The Graveyard]] appear to be located in these woods. The woods also appear to be a favored location for various Halloween-themed activities such as pumpkin judging contests and trick-or-treating.
* Since 2007, there has been a [[Halloween Teasers|teaser]] before the Halloween toon is released (or in the toon itself, as in 2020, 2021, and 2024). These include the characters silhouetted in their costumes alongside a message, usually revealing when the full toon will be released.
