You are seeing this message because you have javascript disabled. To use our slideshows you need to enable javascript. There's no cross domain hackery or tracking voodoo, it's just some sweet jQuery animations. Please, think of the animations.

In the meantime, enjoy the html version below. I guess. If that's your thing.

Of course this is how Dermot dresses on Halloween.

While Fall means many of our favorite live-action shows are returning to television, dedicated animation viewers sometimes have to be a little more patient. But fear not, fans of spy/assassin/superheroic/meta shenanigans! Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer, the mad scientists behind Cartoon Network hit The Venture Bros., revealed clips of the upcoming Halloween Special at Dragon Con. While the moving sneak peaks are yet to hit the (cyber)street, Publick was nice enough to put up some stills from the footage on his blog. http://jacksonpublick.livejournal.com

For those who can't wait for more, rest assured that Season 5 is coming up fast, with pre-production wrapped, discussion for Season 6 already begun. All we know for now is that Patrick Warburton says S.P.H.I.N.X. [Ed. note: S.P.H.I.N.X.!] is back. In the meantime, whet your appetites for adventure by making wild speculations about what the heck is going on in these screenshots. Given the way the show plays out…you could be dead on.

Go Team Venture!

One of the best things about Venture Bros. Halloween episodes is the costumes, and so we're delighted to see White as Ziggy Stardust and Billy as what is clearly Rusty Venture, Boy Adventurer.

And if there's one teeny thing we'd be hopeful for in the new season is more Triana and Triana's mom/Dr. Orpheus' Ex-Wife. There's definitely potential in making the latter a more fully fleshed out character.
