“The David S. Pumpkins Animated Halloween Special.” (NBC)“Saturday Night Live” didn’t air a regular episode this weekend, instead opting to re-air old Halloween sketches and a half-hour animated David S. Pumpkins special that answered no one’s questions. I’m David Pumpkins, and I’m gonna scare the heck outta you,” Hanks says, flanked by skeleton sidekicks Mikey Day and Bobby Moynihan. “Haunted Elevator,” the original David Pumpkins sketch, was a harebrained idea that turned into an instant SNL classic. This time, if you hated David S. Pumpkins, only 30 more minutes of it was put into the world. In the original David Pumpkins sketch, “Haunted Elevator,” two people go on an amusement park ride, but it’s full of this David Pumpkins character.
