Can anyone explain the logic of having this show in the bag but choosing to release it 3 weeks AFTER Halloween?

Armisen: I shaved my head for it. They really did such a great job with the makeup and everything. I had no eyebrows. It was prosthetics over my eye

I'm incapable of criticizing Fred Armisen. I'm sure he will genuinely be a weird Fester.

Would love cameos by Cusack, Huston and Lloyd and some sort of homage to Julia.
