WDRB’s [weatherman](http://time.com/3961762/taylor-swift-lyric-weather-forecast/?iid=sr-link1), Jude Redfield, went [all out for Halloween](http://www.wdrb.com/story/33518591/thunder-cloud-bones-redfield-and-a-headless-surprise-put-wdrb-halloween-forecast-over-the-top) by making full use of the green screen behind him. Redfield presented himself as many of the holiday’s most frightful tropes: a floating, disembodied head named “Beheadfield,” a dancing skeleton nicknamed “Bones Redfield ([an annual appearance](http://www.wdrb.com/story/33518591/thunder-cloud-bones-redfield-and-a-headless-surprise-put-wdrb-halloween-forecast-over-the-top)) and—in a more literal approach to scary skies—as a man with his head in clouds of “thunder snow.” (Meteorology jokes!) And then he unveiled [his version of David S. Pumpkins](http://time.com/4543494/david-pumpkins-costume/?iid=sr-link1). Pumpkins, if you’ll recall, is a viral Tom Hanks character that debuted recently on a _Saturday Night Live_ sketch. Redfield’s take on the now-iconic Halloween character even got an assist from a boogie-ing coworker as the funky Pumpkins music played in the background. “$59.99, bought it online. I know you’re jealous,” Redfield boasts about his pumpkin-printed suit and tie combo. “This is not the exact replica, but close enough… Any questions?” A true professional, Redfield then segued seamlessly into delivering the forecast for the Kentucky area. > [](https://twitter.com/WDRBNews/status/793028578485166080) > [](https://twitter.com/WDRBNews/status/792924052537036800) > [](https://twitter.com/CandyceClifft/status/793053241915404288) > [](https://twitter.com/CandyceClifft/status/793065437206544384) > [](https://twitter.com/WDRBNews/status/793070699103588354) **Correction:** The headline in the original version of this story misidentified the state where Redfield works. It is Kentucky. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4552033/kentucky-weatherman-halloween/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4552033/kentucky-weatherman-halloween/"},"headline":"Watch This Kentucky Weatherman Make All of the Halloween Jokes","datePublished":"2016-10-31T20:02:35.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T16:44:59.000Z","description":"Don't worry, David S.
