Hey everyone and welcome to a new article series taking place during Monster Fest 2009. In this series of articles, I will post a full length horror / monster movie for your enjoyment. With services like Hulu and YouTube, there are a lot of ways to enjoy movies you would have most likely never heard of before by just watching it at your own convenience on your computer screen. I will choose one horror film from these services every week and post them here for you all to enjoy.
The second Monster Fest Movie of the Week is The Halloween Tree (1993).
When I was a kid, I grew up watching this animated film version of Ray Bradbury's novel The Halloween Tree. It tells the story of a group of kids who get sent back in time on Halloween night in order to find the lost spirit of their friend Pip, who has just passed away. In the process, they learn the history of Halloween and how all of its traditions are steeped in history.
This is a pretty nostalgic cartoon for me. It's one of the best that the Cartoon Network has put together. It really captures the Halloween spirit quite well and is really enjoyable to watch. Unfortunately, it is not available on DVD.
Still you can watch the whole film below.
