Fox has just released several new images forFamily Guy’s latest Halloween-themed episode titled “Happy Holo-ween.” “Happy Holo-ween” will air on Fox this upcoming Sunday afterHalloween episodesofThe SimpsonsandBob Burgers. The plot of “Happy Holoween” revolves around Peter Griffin turning himself into a hologram in order to avoid boring household chores.
Fox has released seven images overall forFamily Guy’s latest Halloween special. In a way, the images themselves seem to explain the entire plot of the episode. The first image depicts the people of Quahog at a Halloween carnival of sorts while the second photo showcases Peter and his buddies Cleveland, Quagmire, and Joe in line for a “Hallway Of Holograms.” The next image shows Peter talking with a character who looks like a mad scientist while another presents Peter running away from the carnival with an R2-D2 figurine. The final three images depict an establishing shot of the festively decorated Griffin home accompanied by some lightning, Peter pressing a button on the R2-D2-esque machine, and Peter coming face to face with a hologram version of himself. Based on the images, “Happy Holo-ween” seems to be some light, goofy Halloween fun.

While the first season was a success, Fox decided to cancelFamily Guyin 2002 before the third season was even released. However, reruns on Adult Swim drew in a large audience and DVD sales for the show’s first three seasons were impressive. In 2005, after a letter-writing campaign, Fox officially renewedFamily Guyfor a fourth season. Evidently, that was the right choice on Fox’s part.
