I usually smack talk the TV. I be like, "Listen here you little trout, I'm the goddamn Ayenman! I ain't about be punked by no flat screen TV. I will own yo--! GODDAMN SON OF A BITCH MOTHER SMURFER!" [just died]

In your case it'd be more, "Listen here you little trout, I'm the goddamn Pumpkinwoman! I come out every Halloween to troll Charlie Brown. You can't handle this!"

Generally, I find talking to myself helpful. But I usually just brave through it with no real strategy.
