Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space

Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space (2009) — watch online this DreamWorks Animation Halloween short on iFILM. Director Peter Ramsey reunites the original voice cast: Seth Rogen, Reese Witherspoon, Hugh Laurie, and Will Arnett reprise their monster squad roles.

Susan Murphy's hometown of Modesto, California looks perfectly normal the night before Halloween. Every porch has a jack-o-lantern. Every windowsill has another. But when midnight hits, those grinning gourds turn out to be alien invaders in disguise. The monsters have twenty minutes to save the planet — and they barely have twenty minutes of screen time to do it.

This compact spin-off to the 2009 feature Monsters vs. Aliens was made specifically for Halloween and runs just 21 minutes. All the characters, none of the filler. Watch Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space online on iFILM.
