How an Early Internet Comment Became a Halloween Tradition: Reverse Trick-Or-Treating

Every year from 2009 to 2015, my reverse trick-or-treating comic would go viral on Reddit. Some commenters even said they looked forward to seeing it every year because it reminded them of growing up watching It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown on TV. The comic had a good run, but I think its viral days are long gone. Still, it’s fun to reminisce about the early days of internet remix culture. So here’s the story about how a web comment, inspired a comic, which inspired real world costumes, which even inspired a short film. (this video is also available on Peertube, Instagram, and TikTok) I forgot how charming this short film was and how cool it was that they framed so many of the scenes in a similar way to my comic.
