Line 19:
** "[[I Got a Rock|I got a rock.]]"
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: As noted elsewhere, in order for Charlie Brown to get a bagful of rocks while trick-or-treating there has to be an entire town full of adults who would ''give'' a kid a rock.
* [[Downer Ending]]: Charlie Brown gets nothing but rocks while trick-or-treating, Sally misses out entirely, and Linus is not only crushingly disappointed, he fails to learn a thing from it all, ranting about doing the same thing again next year.
* [[Fainting]]: Linus faints when he thinks he sees the Great Pumpkin coming (it's actually Snoopy).
* [[Imagination Spot]]: Snoopy's battle with the Red Baron, animated for the first time.
* [[Jerkass]]: Every single neighbor who gave poor Charlie Brown a rock.
* [[Jerkass Has a Point]]: For all her nasty words towards her brother about the Great Pumpkin being a fake, Lucy was being more sensible.
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Lucy is her usual crabby self here, mocking Linus for believing in the Great Pumpkin. However, she does ask for candy for him too when she goes trick-or-treating, and when he does not return home from the pumpkin patch by 4:00 A.M., she gets out of bed, walks out to the pumpkin patch, leads her brother home and puts him to bed.
** More than that- it wasn't that he just wasn't home, she ''set her alarm'' to make sure he got to bed.
