Ever since his first appearance on Saturday Night Live back in 2016, the appeal for Tom Hanks as David S. Pumpkins was unclear but undeniable. The cult-like status and popularity of the character even got NBC to greenlight a Halloween special for him in 2017. And now in 2022, Hanks has donned that stupid suit once again.
This time, however, instead of the “Tower of Terror,” it’s “Cellblock 666,” a terrifying prison tour ride. One of the riders, Andrew Dismukes, has many questions about why David S. Pumpkins and his skeletons (Mikey Day and a returning Bobby Moynihan) keep appearing amongst the actual horror movie characters. This is a valid question to ask but as another rider (Jack Harlow) says “I’m kinda feeling him though, a nice change of pace.”
