Launching on 1 October, the full-length episode sees the Oddbods attend a Halloween party at the local museum, but when Newt accidentally breaks part of an exhibit, a curse is unleashed that brings many of the artefacts to life.

Prior to the debut of ‘Halloween Heroes’, Argos is sharing a brand-new Oddbods music video called Mahna Mahna on its website. The song launched on the Oddbods’ YouTube channel earlier this month and attracted around 2,000,000 views in its first week.
