Stewie’s channeling his inner Dr. Frankenstein - or is it Frank-N-Furter - in an exclusive to Collider sneak peek of this year’sFamily GuyHalloween special. There’s never been a love greater in the world than that shared betweenStewieand his teddy bear, Rupert, and this spooky season, Stewie’s using all the magic and science he can conjure to shock Rupert into existence. With the help of a few main ingredients and a spiked dog collar (to conduct electricity—get your head out of the gutter), Stewie’s ready to flip the switch and bring his best pal to life—even if it bumps the rest of the Griffin family off the internet for a minute or two. Sadly, his efforts seem to be to no avail as Rupert returns from his electric shock therapy just as inanimate as ever.
This time around, the stakes are higher than ever asFamily Guymoves into its 25th anniversary seasonwith a Halloween episode bigger, spookier, and sillier than any you’ve seen before. Titled “Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Cheater,” along with Stewie’s pursuit of happiness with Rupert, the episode will also followPeterand his pals as they enter Quahog’s annual Pumpkin Contest. Putting their biggest and best pumpkin forward, the group of friends is taking on the reigning champion, Patrick McCloskey.
As always,Seth MacFarlane,Alex Borstein,Seth Green,Mila Kunis, andArif Zahirwill be heard voicing the show’s main characters, whileTwistersandAnyone but Youstar,Glen Powell, will lend his talents to the tone of Patrick McCloskey withGosford ParkandGladiator’sDerek Jacobias Rupert.
‘Family Guy’s Big Move
At the end of the summer, it was revealed that - for the first time in the show’s history -Family Guywould be moving to the midseason slot on Fox, meaning that it isn’t on the network’s fall lineup. Gleeful to pick up the beloved animated series,Comedy Central embraced the Griffins with open armsas it’s now been added to the channel’s adult animation block. There, it’s cozy, rubbing elbows with other classics, includingSouth Park,Beavis and Butt-Head, andFuturama. LikeThe Simpsons,Family Guyis also now in the second season of its two-season renewal, meaning that contract discussions will likely be making headlines soon as the networks decide the next move for Peter, Lois, and the rest of the gang.
