Look at the punching, you can see a ring! Someone married this dude. He's our husband. He's our dad. And our "kooky" uncle who drinks too much at family gatherings, why does he even show up anyway, our aunt divorced him 10 years ago.

Happy Jack Valentine is extraordinary! Notice that the description for Christmas Edition, which is from January 2007, reads: "He's back - not in the graveyard, but in a festive setting. Here's the pumpkin dance as recently aired on the KXVO 10:00 News in Omaha!" That seems to suggest that Pumpkin Head Halloween Dance appeared on KXVO as far back as Halloween 2006! Can anyone confirm? And if so, why didn't you tell us about this sooner? PHHD has existed for three years and I didn't know? That's like if somebody saw The Departed in 2006 but kept it to themselves and waited until now to release it to the world. Shame on you, loyal KXVO viewer!
Score = 4
My bad. I'm a dummy. Of course PHHD has existed since Halloween 2006, as the main video of this post is from November 2006. Still, why have you eluded us for so very long, PHHD?
