Produced, directed and written by Chuck Jones, it was first televised October 31, 1979 on CBS.

[2] Raggedy Ann (June Foray), Raggedy Andy (Daws Butler), and their dog, Raggedy Arthur, notice how cruel their neighbor Aunt Agatha (Foray) is and how sad her nephew Ralph (Steven Rosenberg) is on Halloween but realize that Aunt Agatha has a Scrooge-like attitude towards the holiday.

The only way to cheer up the sad pumpkin is to bring it to Ralph as a gift and then convince Aunt Agatha to change her Scrooge-like ways on Halloween by recalling to her in her sleep that Agatha (or Aggie, as she was known as a child) and a witch costume that Agatha wore and loved as a child.

The movie ends with Aunt Agatha putting on a witches' hat and carrying a broom while Ralph wears a pirate's costume with the now smiling pumping in tow surprising the neighbors as both Aunt Agatha and Ralph merrily go trick or treating together and Aunt Agatha finding a newfound joy for the Halloween season.

The special brought in a 14.4/24 rating/share, ranking third in its timeslot, behind NBC's Real People (20.0/33) and ABC's Eight Is Enough (18.0/30).
