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

The Halloween Tree November 15, 2009
Agawam Hunt (MA)
This adaptation of Bradbury's classic was just as good as I remembered it. Thankfully, it arrived in pristine condition. This tale of discovering what Halloween is really about and how it came to be should be part of everyone's experience of "the dark holiday". Excellent narration by the author and a great vocal performance by Leonard Nimoy bring real life to the story. I can't imagine why it's been out of print so long and never made it onto DVD. I'm delighted to have it, even in VHS, in my collection for many future Halloweens.
Wonderful Halloween Cartoon! November 2, 2009
Tonya (Aberdeen, MS)
I couldn't believe I found this movie! Years ago, I watched this with my now, 17 yr old, and she loved it. This year, I wanted to get it for my 5 yr. old, and it was just as good as it ever was--my oldest even watched it with us! My only disappointment was that I could not find it on DVD--good thing we kept a VCR for all out old movies.
A frightful good time! September 23, 2009
Mountain Sprite (USA)
I absolutely love this cartoon! I bought it when it first came out and my kids were small. It is a staple in my Halloween movie collection. The story is entertaining and engaging and the animation is wonderful. It's a great movie for the family to watch and even the little kiddies, my 2 year old granddaughter and 4 year old grandson love it. It's a great movie to put you in the holiday spirit. I can hardly wait until they release it on DVD!
I love Halloween Tree August 30, 2009
Amy halbern (Farmington Utah)
Halloween Tree is amazing. I saw this movie years ago when I was a teenager and I found it to be one of the most interesting Halloween Stories I have ever seen or read. Ray Bradbury Really knows how to tell a story.. I love how the characters in the Movie and in the book really capture of what Halloween is all about and at the same time trying to find their Friend..
