Big Tasty went toe-to-toe with Freddy Krueger, but this Halloween, he’s asking another horror icon for help.
Bloody Disgusting has your first look at “The Goldbergs” Halloween episode, titled The Hunt for the Great Albino Pumpkin, which features a very special guest appearance by Elvira!
The Mistress of the Dark, who also hosted a Shudder Halloween special and is taking part in a month-long event with Netflix, appears to be signing autographs at a local convention when she’s asked for help by Barry, who has (once again) screwed things up with Joanne.
In the episode…
“Missing his Pops, Adam finds himself disenchanted with his once favorite time of year, Halloween. Beverly tirelessly tries to resurrect Adam’s Halloween spirit from the dead, encouraging Pop Pop (Judd Hirsch) to spend some quality time with his grandson. A night of mishaps and chaos turns out to be just the adventure Adam needs.
“Meanwhile, with the push and support from Joanne, Barry decides to bring his former alter ego, rapper “Big Tasty,” back to life; and a chance encounter with the legendary Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, brings Barry and Joanne closer together.”
The new episode of “The Goldbergs” is airing Wednesday, October 27 (8:00-8:30 p.m. EDT), on ABC. You can watch the episode on demand and on Hulu the day after.
