A digital self-portrait of his world-famous Halloween meme, this genesis NFT features Dancing Pumpkin Man’s signature spontaneous absurdist dance moves, evoking the moment of creation of one of the Internet’s most beloved characters. Now a celebrated part of the fabric of seasonal Halloween culture, Dancing Pumpkin Man was born out of creator/inhabitor Matt Geiler’s desperate last-minute attempt to fill an on-air gap in the newscast he was anchoring in Fall of 2006. In the decade that followed, the hastily-costumed, completely improvised dance rose from obscurity in YouTube’s infancy to become one of the most shared, mashed-up, and recognizable pieces of the Internet’s Early Viral Period - an unfailing hilarious yearly reminder that various corporations’ pumpkin flavors are back and that Halloween is just around the corner.

This 1/1 authenticated NFT is offered by Matt Geiler, the Dancing Pumpkin Man himself, and entitles the owner to only treats every Halloween.
