Alex Rosetti: (arranger, booklet commentary)
THIS Pumpkin is an arrangement of Seth "Beatfox" Peelle's Pumpkin Cravings from Homestuck Volume 5.
If I recall correctly, Beatfox said he was imitating Danny Elfman's style in the original 8-bit piece. One of the many great things about it is all the "orchestrations" he does with such a limited palette, and how strong they come through.
So strong in fact, that I've wanted to make an orchestrated version for a long time.
Consider it fully "Elfmanized" now. The title is a referenced to the "THIS FUCKING PUMPKIN" line from Problem Sleuth.
For obvious reasons I decided to drop one of those words when naming this arrangement.

Alex's original request for this art was "so here's the thing......
could u draw the what pumpkin logo....
but with an exclamation point instead of a question mark
maybe candy corn vampire-problem sleuth could be holding it?"
I remember drawing the altered logo all plain by itself and sending that to Alex,
and he liked that fine,
but I was ultimately irked and redid it with candy corn PS a few days later.
Pumpkin Cravings for orchestra

Happy Halloween everybody! I have emerged from the shadows to bring you a spooky seasonal treat! And what better time to do so than such a monumental Homestuck date, and sharing the release of an incredible [S] page?
Truly the moons of Prospit and Derse saw to it that I would finish this arrangement on such a festive Homestuck eve! I’ve been working on it all month hoping to finish it by Halloween, and it has given me an all-new appreciation for the amount of detail and technique in Beatfox’s compositions. I hope hearing this orchestration of his 8-bit masterpiece can get that across to you too!
I asked Worthikids to scare up an appropriate track art, so be sure to go knock on his door and give him candy for his beautiful contribution!
