Tom Hanks reprised his role as David S. Pumpkins on "SNL" on Oct. 29.

Pumpkins was last seen in 2016's "Haunted Elevator," where he tortured Beck Bennett and Kate McKinnon.

This time, David is the hero of a Halloween prison trip that Jack Harlow, Ego Nwodim, and Andrew Dismukes hope would make them puke or faint (or both).

Dismukes becomes increasingly irritated as the ride's jump scares careen from Annabelle and Michael Myers to David and his dancing skeleton companions (once again played by Mikey Day and Bobby Moynihan).

Kenan Thompson plays the ride operator who explains why there's so much David S. Pumpkins.

Thompson: "We spent a lot on Pennywise and Freddy Krueger." Budget was tight.

Hanks' exuberance makes David's return the perfect Halloween treat, despite being familiar.
