Spock (Leonard Nimoy) waxes spooky as Death personified in this video retelling of Ray Bradbury's classic Halloween adventure. A Hanna-Barbera animated presentation, The Halloween Tree tells the story of four close friends who must face their greatest fears as they travel through time to save their dear comrade, Pip. It's Halloween night, Pip's favorite holiday, and the friends are baffled to spot his spirit running through the woods when they've just seen his body hauled off in an ambulance. Mustering their courage, they follow the spirit and meet Moundshroud (Nimoy), the mysterious black-caped proprietor of a haunted house. Moundshroud challenges them each to gain a deeper understanding of the origins of this ghostly holiday as he leads them on an educational journey through faraway places and time periods. From Egyptian sarcophaguses to Mexican graveyards, the children learn the legends behind Halloween and the importance they place on their friendship with Pip. Imaginative, not too scary, well-acted, and nicely drawn, this hour-long treat will appeal to little spooks ages 5 and older. A short Yogi Bear "classic" involving a witch vacationing in Jellystone Park opens the show; parents not into reminiscing might wish to fast-forward past this dated time-waster. --Liane Thomas

This is one of my favorite cartoons to show to middle schoolers. We study Medieval Europe and this is the perfect way to talk about how all these different cultures contribute to Halloween as we now practice it. Ray Bradbury is my favorite author, so we read some of the book and the movie is narrated by him so you can use this to teach similes and metaphors. Great learning tool! But I wish it was on DVD!

This story is absolutely wonderful for children who are old enough to sit still through a 1 hour movie. I remember watching this on television as a child and I never forgot it. It explains the origins, sights and symbols of Halloween in a fun and thrilling way.

This early 1990s movie is an absolute gem!! Not well known, but it should be. It is animated, and Sci-Fi guru Ray Bradbury does the narration, which is exceptional. Leonard (Mr. Spock) Nimoy is the voice of evil Moundshroud. At first glance the movie is about spooky Halloween doings, underneath, however, lies a story of friendship, love and loyalty. A close-knit group of best friends wait for their "leader", Pip, to join them for Halloween trict-or-treating. When he doesn't show, they get worried ... Read More

My children and I enjoy the Halloween tree ever fall, this is one of the ways we celebrate the Halloween season and will continue to do so for many years. Ray Bradbury was a wonderful writer, my only wish is that there could be sequel.
