- Boo!
- [Together] Oh!
- Is this a magic tricks and treats party?
- Nope. This looks like a pumpkin patch.
My wand must have taken a wrong turn.
I'd better go ask for directions.
- Elmo, Zoe, and Telly will wait right here, Mr. Mumford!
- Wow. I've never been in a pumpkin patch before.
- Yeah, Elmo neither, Telly.
It's cool! - And orange.
- And pumpkin-y.
(alarm ringing) (creatures laughing)
Who are you?
- We're the surprise monsters.
We love to surprise everyone.
- Yeah, we especially like to surprise everyone
in the pumpkin patch on Halloween!
- I was sure surprised. Yeah.
- I was surprised too. - Elmo too.
- All right. Well, then our work here is done.
- Wow.
Elmo didn't know pumpkin patches could be so surprising.
- Very surprising.
- Hey. You're a talking pumpkin!
- That's right.
I'm a talking pumpkin,
and I got lots of things to talk about.
- Like what, pumpkin?
- Well, like all the great stuff
you can do with us pumpkins this time of year.
- What kind of stuff?
- Pumpkin stuff.
Look. Check it out.
(bright music)
- [People] Pumpkins!
- [Pumpkin] My friends Jared and Chase spent an afternoon
with their mom and dad carving and painting pumpkins.
Jared and his dad started to carve their pumpkin
by drawing a face on the pumpkin with a marker.
- [Character] That surface looks a little bumpy.
- Should we draw his face first? Do you wanna try that?
- [People] Jared's dad used a special knife
to cut a circle around the stem.
Then, Jared got to pull the top off and see inside.
- [Elmo] What's in there?
- Good!
[Pumpkin] Seeds.
Then they cut out the shapes to make a face.
And meanwhile, chase and his mom painted a pumpkin face.
- [Elmo] What's he painting?
- [Pumpkin] You know, that could be a nose.
- What are you doing?
- Look what I'm painting.
- Oh, Chase, I love it.
- [Pumpkin] They're using the insides as hair.
(people chattering)
- [Mom] Oh look. Check it out.
- [Pumpkin] And you can make up pumpkin games too.
- Let's pretend to make pumpkins.
Let's pretend to make some good pumpkin soup.
What else would go in?
- Like a little bit of pumpkin flavoring.
Have a seed or too. Yeah.
- I think it's time for us to bake these pumpkin seeds.
What do you think? You ready?
- [Pumpkin] And it's always yummy to toast pumpkin seeds.
- What do you wanna put on them?
You hold the ball.
- Sugar.
(people chattering)
- [Mom] So good.
- Those pumpkin seeds.
- Try 'em, and tell me what you think.
- Just one or two at a time. Not a handful, guys.
Thank you. Hm, you good?
- [Mom] Like them? What do they taste like?
- Popcorn.
- [Mom] Popcorn?
- [Pumpkin] When a face is carved into a pumpkin,
a grownup can light up the face by placing a candle inside.
Then it's called a jack-o'-lantern.
- [Elmo] Jack-o'-lantern!
- [Pumpkin] How about that?

- [Both] To the pumpkin farm!
♪ Pumpkin farm, pumpkin farm ♪
♪ We're going to the pumpkin farm ♪
- Boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
Here we are at the pumpkin farm.
We need pumpkins to make soup. Can you help us?
- Hello, Cookie Monster and Gonger.
Welcome to the pumpkin farm.
You probably have seen pumpkins get carved
into Jack-o-lanterns at Halloween,
but did you know that inside the pumpkin are pumpkin seeds?
To grow pumpkins, all you have to do is plant the seeds
in the ground.
The pumpkin starts out as a little sprout,
then becomes a vine.
At first, the pumpkins are green.
When they get bigger, they turn orange.
When the pumpkins are done growing,
they're cut off the vines with special shears.
Some of the pumpkins are grown in a field
where you can pick out your very own.
It's called a pumpkin patch.
I hope you had fun at our pumpkin farm
Cookie Monster and Gonger.
Here's a pumpkin for your pumpkin soup.
Enjoy it.
- [Cookie Monster] Oh boy. Thank you, Mr. Barber.
- [Gonger] Thank you!

- Oh yeah. Hi!
- Abby, what are you doing?
- Oh, I'm singing to my dolly, Prince.
- Oh. Boy, that sounds like fun.
Elmo wishes he had a dolly he could sing with.
- Oh, oh, I know what to do! I know what to do!
I'll make you a dolly with magic.
- Ah, cool. How?
- Well, you know, I'm still learning,
but my mommy's always, you know, waving her wand around
and she says a rhyme and magic happens.
So, well, I'll just wave my fairy want
until magic happens too.
- Okay. - Okay.
Lemme see. Ah, okay.
Velmo, Schmelmo, dolly for Elmo.
- Uh-oh. It's a pumpkin, not a dolly.
- Yeah, I know. I get a lot of pumpkins.
Oh, well. Well, better try again.
- Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead.
- Hey. Oh, I know.
Will you say it with me this time?
That might help.

Uh-oh. Um, Abby.
That's a marker, not a dolly.
Oh, well, maybe I should try a different way.
- Oh, Emma has an idea.
Maybe Abby's fairy wand didn't hear the magic spell.
Abby should try saying it louder.
- Oh, okay.
- Will you say louder with me too?
- Sure, sure.

all the way across the top of your eyes?
I never noticed that before.
All you'll need are a couple of pumpkins, some paint,
and a pal.
- Aw.
We set a timer. The-
- Ooh, oh yeah. Yeah, and you'll also need a timer.
- Yes, you'll need one of those too.
- Mm-hm.
- The challenge is to paint your self portrait on a pumpkin
before the time runs out.
Doesn't that sound fun, Ernie?
- Boy, it sure does sound fun, Bert.
Although you know, it could be even more fun.
- More fun? How do you get more fun than that?
- Okay, ready Bert?
- I feel ridiculous.
- Oh no, yeah, come on, Bert.
This is gonna be a lot of fun. - And I can't see a thing.
Okay, let's do this.
Set the timer on the clock.

Whoa! What?
(Ernie humming) Ernie!
Cut that out!
- Oops.

- Ugh. Okay, where was I?
All right, yeah.
Doing some eyes here.
Boy, this is hard blindfolded, huh, Ernie?
- Why, you said it, Bert. Sure is difficult.
- Well, I'll do a nose.
- Takes a lot of concentration.
- Well, I think this is the middle of the face.
- Right. Time's running out, Bert.
- Oh, uh, finally the mouth, and-
- Uh-oh! (buzzer ringing)
That's it! Time's up, Bert!
- Really?
- Mm-hm. - Okay.
Let's take off our blindfolds and see how we did.
Okay. Yeah, uh.
Yeah, how'd I do, huh?
- Hmm.
- Oh, not bad!
Photorealistic even. (laughs)
- Oh yeah, sure, Bert.
- Beat that, Ernie. Beat that. (laughs)
- Okay, let's see how I did here.
- Ernie, Ernie, that's amazing.
You painted that so perfectly.
- Well, you think so, Bert?
- Well, it looks just like you, yeah.
Yeah!
Oh, I guess the winner is obvious, Ernie.
You win the pumpkin painting challenge.
- Oh good.
- (sighs) Gee, I wish my pumpkin looked that good.
- Oh gee, Bert, if you had painted one yesterday
and hid it under the table like I did, it would.
(Ernie laughs) - What?
- Well, thanks so much for watching.
And remember to Like and Subscribe.

- Mm-hm.

Life was so much better back then.
