David Pumpkins Returns - SNL

Tom Hanks reprised his cheerfully chaotic Halloween uncle persona on Saturday Night Live just in time for Halloween. Hope he gets a live-action movie, this generation needs an Ernest Scared Stupid-esque spooky holiday movie from probably the best thing SNL has done in a long time. Give him a Raid high-rise parody flick.
