There’s a Twitter Dedicated to Creating New ‘Dancing Pumpkin Guy’ Videos and It’s Magnificent

On Halloween night in 2006, Omaha, NE news station KXVO randomly and unexplainedly began airing a man (identified as comedian Matt Geiler) dressed in all black wearing a bright orange pumpkin mask dancing to the Ghostbusters theme song. The clip was then uploaded to YouTube a few days later and has since entered the hall of memes, a well-deserved and appropriate honor.

Since the original upload, the internet has had a field day switching up the music so that the “dancing pumpkin guy” is shown getting down to various tunes. Some work really well (example) while others fail to marry the visuals with a solid song.

The Twitter account @dancingmpkin has made it its mission to put together some of the very best mashups and it’s pretty much my new favorite thing. Below are a few samples from the feed but I highly recommend giving them a follow so that you get new ones straight to your timeline.
