The Great Pumpkin's Field was a Halloween webgame released exclusively for Halloween. Players collaboratively fought Happy Ponies that have captured The Great Pumpkin. The game was first accessible via http://www.hamumu.com/pumpkin.php between October 7th and October 31st 2009. On November 1, 2009, with the conclusion of Halloween, the game was taken down. For every subsequent October from 2010 to 2012, the game was brought back up through a link hidden somewhere on the site.
The Great Pumpkin's Field. Members currently in the field are shown at the bottom of the screen.
A Happy Pony appears, with The Great Pumpkin caged up beside it.
Eight Hamumu members scramble to rescue The Great Pumpkin and teach the pony a lesson.
A pony can summon Mallow Men and cast a rainbow of recovery.
A pony romps on a quiet field.
The Happy Pony retreats thirty minutes after its arrival, leaving a little post-battle taunt as it does so.
When the Happy Pony is defeated, it will fall in anger with an appropriate statement.
When rescued, The Great Pumpkin sends his well-wishes to his rescuers.
The Great Pumpkin emerges from the cage and rewards all who have helped in slaying its captor. Since October 11, 2009, these awards have been removed.
The Great Pumpkin departs a few moments after it is freed.

2010[]
The Ponyslayer trophy is given out to members who slay their very first pony. There are no other awards or prizes obtainable during this year.
2011[]
Raffle Tickets are given out to members who participate in slaying a pony (i.e. doing at least one point of damage to a pony that was eventually slain). Each member who contributes to the slaying of a pony obtains one Raffle Ticket per pony. At the end of the month, a free Loonyland: Halloween Hill CD is mailed to a member who has at least one Raffle Ticket. Having more Raffle Tickets increases the holder's probability of winning the CD. The winner this year is darkguyhades.
