As creepy crawlers and scary monsters begin to emerge for this year’s trick-or-treat festivities, Holiday Hill Farm has inked a new multi-year plush deal with Spin Master’s GUND for Halloweens to come.  

The New Jersey-based plush manufacturer will create and distribute toys based on Holiday Hill’s popular Spookley the Square Pumpkin franchise, as well as other IPs in its portfolio, such as JollyBean the Easter Chick and Mistletoe and the Christmas Kittens. 

A first wave of products is slated to hit retailers worldwide next fall in time for the Halloween season.

Holiday Hill’s introduced Spookley to the market more than 20 years ago in author Joe Troiano’s children’s book, The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin, in which the oddly shaped pumpkin is shunned by all the other pumpkins on the farm until he saves the patch from an oncoming storm. 

The character has since starred in two CG-animated films, which are available now on Netflix. Disney Junior picked up both Spookley the Square Pumpkin (2004) and sequel Spookley and the Christmas Kittens (2019)to air this month.
