I made this same comment, 5 months later I see this one and think "yo, you stole my comment" then noticed you had the exact same thought a month before me, gave me a hearty chuckle
For years people have searched for the perfect Halloween song that aptly covers the traditions that matter most. Today we have found it! Thank you Nick Lutsko but more importantly, thank you Pumpkin Man for keeping us safe from bad candy!
Nick is single-handedly filling the gaping void of music for the spooky season. Also this is one of his funniest and best made to date. Shooting the pumpkin man intruder was hilarious. Great costume design. Nick certainly looked like a man plagued by apparitions of a gourdy ghoul.
I watched the entire "Write a song together" stream that was available on RUclips and I'm blown away with how, from basic ideas, this turned into something so polished.The amazing video puts it over the top. Great costume
Better make sure your Venmo still works, Nick, because i think Spirit Halloween will be calling to license Pumpkin Man for next Halloween's animatronics.
This is a poem I wrote about Pumpkin Man after a deep fever vision He gave me in seminary: Seed me, O lord of squashes. Seed me, lest the pleasure rot Breed hard dry skins, which not About my neck bear crosses; Only white washes. Seed me, great orange moon. Seed me, and grant my candy, As sterile as fresh brandy, Wrapped properly in foil cocoon, My bedside bowl festoon. Seed me, wet-hand harvest friend. Seed me, and there at yonder mall, Bed Bath Beyond and Mart-o-Wal, A photo take at shopping’s end; My ocre heart to distend.
That ending has me excited for Pumpkin Man VII: The New Seed where we find out his excreted sloppy seed puddles have all slipped through the cracks in the floors and gestated into new autumnal abominations. He may have finally died, but he will live on. Being serious, this is a great song. I can always count on you to bring some new Halloween magic to life around this time of year.
Love the musical structure. That slow, sad 6/8 buildup ... really forces the listener to slow down and get involved in the story. Excellently done. Oh and love the pilgrim shoes!!
1) It's not holiday season anymore without Nick contributing songs to each holiday 2) Ceviche Man and Pumpkin Man either need to feud or join forces and defeat the hill ppl who come down in fall time 3) I hope Nick's new(ish) daughter will enjoy her life of abject poverty after he spent his life savings on that rendering (well worth it IMO)
The tempo and mood of frustrated existential dread really just brings a certain “you should be running” mood to this otherwise cute and fun video. Gosh, what great style
I cant believe I was without an anthem to truly convey my feelings for this holiday. This is the engine that will channel my fire. I'm blazed tho so idk
Seriously though, why isn't there a Halloween icon like there is for Christmas and Easter? For young kids trick or treating without their parents for the first time, it'd serve a practical function; being a properly spooky looking creature that meaningfully has good intentions to ensure the kids come home by a curfew time, lest the pumpkin man visits and the kids were out too long getting greedy with candy collecting- thus making their candy not properly checked for safety and putting them at risk I think Nick is really onto something here honestly
The only thing more horrific than Nick's slimy, seedy emergence from the pumpkin he found on the street is his hair with a middle part. (Kidding!) Loved the video, thrilled to have been listening in on its creation. The 6/8 to 4/4 (maybe cut time?) was amazing.
rest in pumpkin
Woah berd knows about Nick?????
Nick Lutsko is the Mariah Carrey of Halloween.
I made this same comment, 5 months later I see this one and think "yo, you stole my comment" then noticed you had the exact same thought a month before me, gave me a hearty chuckle
the fine line between pumpkin man obsession and pumpkin man embodiment is quite troubling.
Our Halloween tax dollars at work!
Revisiting this instant classic a year later and it's still just as good
For years people have searched for the perfect Halloween song that aptly covers the traditions that matter most. Today we have found it! Thank you Nick Lutsko but more importantly, thank you Pumpkin Man for keeping us safe from bad candy!
I want a full just halloween album. Something to play at parties

I don't know. Acid witch is kind of like Halloween doom metal.
Finally someone not afraid to talk about Pumpkin Man
EVER DREAM PUMPKIN MAN? every night throughout the world hundreds of people dream about this pumpkin man
Nick has achieved peak Danny Elfman with the glorious Pumpkin Man track! Greeting card companies will have to take him seriously now.
All Hail Pumpkin Man!
I REALLY hope this is set up for a pumpkin man 2 next year.
Pumpkin Man 2: Oh My Gourd
Danny Elfman hates himself for not writing this.
We makin it out of the pumpkin patch with this one 💯 🔥 🎃

Pumpkin man take me by the hand, lead me to the spooky land, oh pumpkin man
This is a poem I wrote about Pumpkin Man after a deep fever vision He gave me in seminary:
Seed me, O lord of squashes.
Seed me, lest the pleasure rot
Breed hard dry skins, which not
About my neck bear crosses;
Only white washes.
Seed me, great orange moon.
Seed me, and grant my candy,
As sterile as fresh brandy,
Wrapped properly in foil cocoon,
My bedside bowl festoon.
Seed me, wet-hand harvest friend.
Seed me, and there at yonder mall,
Bed Bath Beyond and Mart-o-Wal,
A photo take at shopping’s end;
My ocre heart to distend.
Sorry, Pumpkin Man. This years Halloween costume is Ceviche Man.
Finally a humanoid creature to personify the spooky season, something Halloween has sorely lacked until now.
That ending has me excited for Pumpkin Man VII: The New Seed where we find out his excreted sloppy seed puddles have all slipped through the cracks in the floors and gestated into new autumnal abominations. He may have finally died, but he will live on.
Being serious, this is a great song. I can always count on you to bring some new Halloween magic to life around this time of year.
The biggest Halloween Hit since The Monster Mash
Truly, no Halloween costume is complete without Mickey Mouse gloves
this man is a mad scientist
Give this guy show on Nick jr already!
I LOVE PUMPKIN MAN! ❤🟠
I too dream of Pumpkin Man and no one listens to me either. Thank you for sending out this message, Nick!
So so glad you kept a smidge of the Waits voice in the mix!! Will be taping a photo of Pumpkin Man to my front door in lieu of decorations
IT’S PUMPKIN MAN DAY!
Love the musical structure. That slow, sad 6/8 buildup ... really forces the listener to slow down and get involved in the story. Excellently done. Oh and love the pilgrim shoes!!
Yea this one was special
The shoes had me at "Hello". How are they the funniest part of that costume? No idea.
Yes! I’ve been waiting for another spooky banger. You are my favorite part of Fall. Love you, Nick! ❤️
i like that this song has the most like, halloweeny sound to it. it fits the pumpkin man, he just oozes wet hallowed tunes
I love Pumpkin Man, my favourite Halloween mascot.
Pumpkin Man had a great run! 🎃🎃🎃
Gone but not forgotten
ALL HAIL PUMPKIN-MAN
ALL HAIL PUMPKIN-MAN
ALL HAIL PUMPKIN-MAN
AND THE SPIRIT HALLOWEEN THEME SONG!

1) It's not holiday season anymore without Nick contributing songs to each holiday

Beautiful pumpkin
Pumpkin Man 2024
The tempo and mood of frustrated existential dread really just brings a certain “you should be running” mood to this otherwise cute and fun video. Gosh, what great style
Adding this to my halloween party playlist.
Thank you Nick
I cant believe I was without an anthem to truly convey my feelings for this holiday. This is the engine that will channel my fire. I'm blazed tho so idk
I'm going to find the most sincere pumpkin patch and wait all night for Pumpkin Man!
Looks like we're warming up here for a special halloween production from the dream team.
RIP in peace pumpkin man 🙏😥
Nick is to Halloween what Mariah Carey is to Christmas
WAKE UP BABE
NEW LUTSKO VID JUST DROPPED
😆Oh, and it's extra spooky. Really love this one!
the world needs this
thank you pumpkin man
I can really see this turning into a dark humor short film
Yet another Halloween banger by the King of Spirit Halloween
Thank you Nick, for another Halloween banger.
I don't see Christopher Lloyd with a Webby. Or Martin Scorsese or Lorne Michaels. Nick Lutsko is the king of halloween.
What a fuckin masterpiece
been blastin this 12 days straight
I was certain this wasn't gonna be an earworm for me and here I am randomly a week later wasting away listening to Pumpkin Man 16 times in one day.
You should keep occasionally adding a verse to this song until it's like 20 minutes long.
He does it again! This is freaking awesome! Nice job, Nick!
Both the hero we need and deserve.
i really appreciate this!
Love the new song!
Very Elfman meets Residents! Love it!
Well, guess we now just have to wait for the epic Grumlin May-yun and Pump-can Man crossover event of the summer.
Halloween champion, champion to the Halloween president
Seriously though, why isn't there a Halloween icon like there is for Christmas and Easter?

I think Nick is really onto something here honestly
Well now I know where my pumpkins went.
Praise the goop 🎃
This is basically a grown up Linus singing about the great pumpkin
A masterpiece
Great song, made my playlist
It's cool to see the finished product from the live
I miss the days if interconnected story lines. I hope this is the birth (pumpkin birth) of a reoccurring character
amazing, nick delivers again
Wait.... Pumpkin Man is real? Oh crap!
The only thing more horrific than Nick's slimy, seedy emergence from the pumpkin he found on the street is his hair with a middle part. (Kidding!) Loved the video, thrilled to have been listening in on its creation. The 6/8 to 4/4 (maybe cut time?) was amazing.
Your brand of madcap insanity always makes my day.
I always love the production on your music, and yeah the songs themselves.
Grreat song, amazing nightmares
pumpkin man was banned in 1972 for his crimes against the adams family. Glad he’s back and better then ever
Fookin brill mun!
That tempo change got me 🖤 and the sopping wet seeds
holy fuck tthat crunch bar looked real
Smashing
ANOTHER BANGER
Love u Nick
My new favorite man
Another banger.
I give a damn about Pumpkin Man!! Let's ALL give a damn this, and every year!
he knows how to drop a fire beat
It's him...the one from my dreams.
this is so damn good! i’m gonna be thinking about pumpkin man all day now.. 🎃❤️
You definitely were channeling 90s Mr Bungle for a little while there
the SCREAM
That was amazing. I never knew I needed a mascot so bad!
Please dont shoot a shotgun towards your child even if there is a halloween mascot standing between you.
I don’t have an aesthetic but if I did I could hope for no better than Pumpkin Man.
I believe in Pumpkin Man
Wow
How many people found themselves embodying the singer of the song's emotional state with their own obsession of this video?
Dude this is sick
