Continuity mistake: When Snoopy arrives at the Halloween party, he slides down a set of curtains and then hides behind those curtains. In the same shot, Lucy approaches a tub of water atop which five apples are floating. When the shot changes, there are only four apples floating in the tub and Snoopy has now somehow gotten into the tub and is hiding under the water. The action is constant. How did Snoopy get from behind the curtain to under the water? (00:18:30)

Character mistake: On the mailbox where Linus delivers his letter, on the side of the Mailbox is written "U.S Mail." That should be on the letter, not the mailbox. There should also be a period after the S making it U.S. Mail.

Other mistake: There is very little drawn correctly about the neighborhood as Lucy and Linus are walking through it in the beginning. There are houses dotted throughout, but all directly on the grass. There's no streets, no sidewalks, no driveways, and most don't even have a garage. However there is one random electric telephone pole they pass.

Continuity mistake: When Linus and Lucy are heading to the pumpkin patch at the beginning of the film, Linus takes his blanket with him, but when they pick up a pumpkin and march back, Linus no longer has his blanket.

Suggested correction: When they get to the pumpkin patch, Linus drops his blanket. When they leave, he leaves his blanket at the pumpkin patch. He might have forgotten it, but it's not a mistake.

Trivia: Kathy Steinberg, the actress who voiced Sally, almost had to be replaced. Just as they were approaching the end of her recording sessions, Steinberg's mother rang executive producer Lee Mendelson one night in a panic because Kathy had a loose tooth and the gap in her teeth could cause a lisp in her voice that would sound different from the dialogue they had already recorded. The crew had to rush Steinberg into the recording studio as soon as it opened in order to get the rest of her lines on tape. Mendelson said that Steinberg's tooth dropped out as she spoke her last line.

Question: There is something I don't understand about Linus in this special. He is flattered when Sally flirts with him by saying he says the cutest things, and that he's so intelligent. Linus usually rejects Sally's feelings whenever she flirts him. Why should this be any different?

Answer: From what I've seen, usually Sally is often annoying Linus with her flirting when he has nothing in common with her, or he's just trying to do something to help her and she tries to make it into more. Here, Sally's comments make Linus think she believes in the Great Pumpkin too, or is at least interested in hearing more about it. It's more that he's excited she likes the same thing as he does. Later in the pumpkin patch, he's happy she's there because he wants to share the experience with someone, not because he has any feeling towards Sally.

Answer: He can enjoy and bask in the flattery without reciprocating any feelings she may have.

Except he's never basked in her flattery in the past.
