About the Spookley Tonie

The Spookley Tonie features 25 audio tracks that combine songs from the popular Spookley movies and animated music videos with a brand-new story from Spookley himself of the amazing things that happened to him since the day he arrived at Holiday Hill Farm — especially just before Halloween that year. Along their audio journey, kids can dance to popular songs such as The Transylvania Twist and The Boo Song, and learn the importance of self-acceptance, friendship and empathy.

How the Spookley Tonie Works

The Spookley Tonie adventure begins when the hand-painted character is placed on top of the soft, shockproof Toniebox. Made of durable fabric with no screens, sharp corners or edges, ads, camera or a microphone, the Toniebox features simple, intuitive controls for young children to adjust the volume, fast forward, rewind and more all on their own. “We are delighted to welcome Spookley to the growing Tonies family of the most popular children’s entertainment characters,” says Christoph Frehsee, president, tonies USA. “We have no doubt this fun Spookley Tonie will become a spirited and beloved Halloween tradition for kids to enjoy through both independent play and with their friends and family, for years to come.”

About Spookley the Square Pumpkin 

Spookley lives on Holiday Hill Farm, a world of storytelling magic where "Every Day is a Holiday” and where Spookley and his friends celebrate what makes every day – and every one – special throughout the entire year. Spookley was born one Halloween night years ago, when Joe Troiano’s young son asked for a non-scary bedtime story about pumpkins. Troiano is the award-winning author, script writer, lyricist and producer behind all of the Spookley the Square Pumpkin and Holiday Hill Farm books, movies, songs and stage shows. Spookley is the “Official Spokes-Pumpkin” for PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center and National Bullying Prevention Month (October).
