Moundshroud agrees and they seal the contract with candy. But each of the children offer up a year of their lives to Mr. Moundshroud announces the children failed and Pip now belongs to him. Tom had wished for something bad to happen to Pip so he could be in charge of the group for once, Pip forgives him but crumbles to dust. During these adventures the group comes within a hair’s breath of catching Pip but he always escapes until Tom finds him in Mexico and apologizes. The group goes on marvelous adventures to ancient Egypt, Stonehenge, Notre Dame Cathedral and lastly, Mexico to witness Día De Los Muertos. They are initially refused but eventually the old man relents and the group is challenged to retrieve the pumpkin and learn about their costumes in order to get Pip back.

They follow Pip all the way into a spooky mansion. They decide to visit him at the hospital and take a shortcut through the woods but they see a ghost-like vision of Pip running away from them and are convinced this whole thing is a hoax.

The film opens with the narrator describing a small towns Halloween preparation and we meet our main characters, Jenny, Ralph, Wally and Tom. Ray Bradbury voices the narrator and the film even boasts voice talents of Leonard Nimoy as Mr. It is based on the 1972 book of the same name by Ray Bradbury and while there are some changes, mostly the animated film stays true to the book. The Halloween Tree was released in 1993 on ABC before being released on VHS and making its way across the pond to the UK where I found it on the shelf of my local rental store. My absolute favorite of these was The Halloween Tree, and it’s this film that I want to talk to you about today. When I was little, I loved going Trick-or-Treating, but I also loved making my own costumes, reading scary books (Goosebumps were a favorite) and watching spooky films. These days I love decorating, getting dressed up and giving out sweets to the small monsters that come to my door.
Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays.
