* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Halloweenie and Pumpkinweenie never truly got along on the show ''(primarily because of Halloweenie)'', but as of [[http://phelous.com/2014/10/08/phelous/halloweenie/halloweenie-halloween-shows/ the 2014 episode]], this trope shows. The latter turns bitter because his new co-host, Skulloweenie, is [[TastesLikeDiabetes way too saccharine for his tastes]], and Halloweenie makes a mini-Pumpkinweenie when trying to make a show out of garbage in an alley. Either way, for all of the fighting they did on-camera, it's clear that they miss each other.

Except that Halloweenie's idiocy turns out to have damaged the company's image so badly that in the end, they're forced to rehire Halloweenie, leaving him, Pumpkinweenie and the producer himself trapped in a production they now loathe.]]

The Halloweenie Show is a yearly series starring [[WebVideo/{{Phelous}} Phelan Porteous]] as Halloweenie. Halloweenie attempts to show off products related to Halloween with his own style but his producers will likely put an abrupt stop to it.
This forces Halloweenie to start over and get more and more frustrated as he goes. HALLOWEENIE WILL KI– LOVE YOU ALL!

The Halloweenie series can be seen on [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3XCSTT5utpuIoPfsTcdvvOg_TWONM9dy Phelan Porteus's YouTube Channel]] and [[https://phelous.com/category/phelous/halloweenie/ website]].

!!Tropes found in this show:
* AffectionateParody: "The Craziest Ghost Hunt Ever" features Halloweenie and Pumpkinweenie having their own ghost-hunting show ''Paraweenie Investigations'', a spoof of ParanormalInvestigation shows like ''Series/GhostHunters''.
* AnimateInanimateObject: Pumpkinweenie is a talking pumpkin with sunglasses.
* BadBoss: Jason Jefferies. He makes no secret about how much he hates Halloweenie. Sure, he may have a point about how much of a jerk Halloweenie is, but he also admits to deliberately trolling him.
* BerserkButton: Halloweenie ''hates'' fun-sized candies. In-fact, anything remotely "fun-sized" causes him to
* CatchPhrase:
** Halloweenie: "''Spoooooooky!''"
** Pumpkinweenie: "At least I tried."
* CausticCritic: The whole premise of the show involves Halloweenie (and other hosts) reviewing Halloween-related things.
* CurseCutShort: It's a running gag that his '''STUPID IDIOT-''' ''wonderful'' manager cuts him off when he gets too angry.
* DepravedKidsShowHost: Halloweenie is sociopath, swears all the time (though it's constantly edited out), and seems to have nothing but contempt for his audience.
* DemBones: Subverted. Halloweenie has a giant skull for a head, but he can't do much with his '''[[SpecialEffectsFailure USELESS FAKE-]]''' ''real'' hands.
* HeManWomanHater: Halloweenie also doesn't seem to like women very much.
* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: Halloweenie is his ''actual'' name. He even complains about how he loses the rights to use his actual name when he's kicked off of the show.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed:
** Halloweenie's voice sounds a lot like Creator/PeterLorre.
** Pumpkinweenie to Creator/GilbertGottfried.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Downplayed. It's implied that Jason Jeffries is the guy Halloweenie was yelling at in seasons 1-4, though season 5 marked his first on-camera appearance.
* SkullForAHead: Halloweenie's head is a giant skull. He stated earlier it was a mask, but weirdly enough, he has been shown to keep wearing it even outside of his show.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: InUniverse. Season 2 starts out with Pumpkinweenie taking over as host before Halloweenie barges in. Season 3 has him replaced with Skullaweenie before Halloweenie kills him. Later he's replaced by a woman in a witch hat.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Halloweenie and Pumpkinweenie. Despite their animosity towards each other, he does seem to value Pumpkinweenie's presence.
