Happy 30th anniversary to The Halloween Tree TV movie!
If you've never seen Ray Bradbury's The Halloween Tree it is really underrated.
The Halloween Tree was a novel written by Ray Bradbury in 1972 after he was disappointed by It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. He said, and I quote "The Great Pumpkin never showed up."
He originally planned for The Halloween Tree to be an animated Halloween special by animation icon, Chuck Jones, but the plans fell apart so Ray Bradbury published it as a novel instead.
Twenty-one-years-later in 1993 Ray Bradbury finally got his TV special as an animated movie from Hanna-Barbara / Turner / and Warner Brothers. It aired on TBS and for a few years after it was reshown on Cartoon Network.
In the 1990s you could buy The Halloween Tree on VHS tape and it came with a small, cheaply made, copy of the original novel. The video tape also included a Yogi Bear short about Yogi stealing a witch's broom to steal picnic baskets.
The plot of The Halloween Tree was this:
A group of teenagers plan on going trick or treating with their friend Joe Pipkin (Nicknamed Pip). When they arrive at Pip's house they see an ambulance and a note that indicates Pipkin's appendix has ruptured. At first the kids are very worried about their friend but then they think they see him running through the trees and think he has pulled some elaborate prank on them. They give chase and follow him to a spooky old house with a strange tree in the yard. The tree is full of thousands upon thousands of Jack-o-lanterns. Each jack-o-lantern represents someone who has died within the year. Here the children meet a mysterious man named Moundshroud (implied to actually be The Grim Reaper). The children spot their friend hiding and are startled to realize he's a ghost. Before they can adjust to this strange ripple in reality, their ghostly friend climbs up the Halloween Tree and steals the jack-o-lantern representing his own life. A strange wind comes and carries away their friend so the kids give chase. With the aid of Moundshroud the children travel through time and all over the world to find their friend. First they go to Ancient Egypt, then medieval UK, then France in the eleven hundreds, and mid-twentieth century Mexico. The children learn the history of Halloween and figure out who Moundshroud actually is.
The children each offer up a year from the end of their lives if their friend can live a full life with them. Moved by their loving offer to try to save their friend, Moundshroud accepts the offer (though this may be how he always intended for it to turn out). The children hurry back to Pip's house and find him there, tired, but alive and recovering from his appendix surgery. It's a very sweet story and it's narrated by Ray Bradbury, himself. Leonard Nemoy provided the voice of Moundshroud. Since the animated version was released on American cable thirty-years-ago and it was not theatrically released, a lot of people outside the US and younger people have never seen it. It is currently available for rent or purchase on Apple TV, Amazon, and Youtube. And you can buy it on DVD through Amazon.
For a made for TV animated movie it is surprisingly high quality. It won an Emmy. Ray Bradbury, himself, provided narration. I'm not really sure why it is not aired on TV anymore other than perhaps someone was worried that the cultural depictions might be seen as inaccurate and potentially insensitive. But I watched it pretty recently and it still seems pretty respectful. I love The Halloween Tree almost as much as I love Over the Garden Wall. Many people consider Over the Garden Wall to be a Halloween special too but in actuality it originally aired in November and was meant to bridge between Halloween and Christmas since it was inspired by early twentieth century Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving, and Christmas postcards. But both The Halloween Tree and Over the Garden Wall are very underrated. Here is the opening scene of The Halloween Tree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be8vfy2pOcY

TV Guide  -  May 9 - 15, 1964
Victor Morrow (born Victor Morozoff; February 14, 1929 – July 23, 1982) Film and television actor. He came to prominence as one of the leads of the ABC drama series Combat! (1962–1967), which earned him an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Continued Performance by an Actor in a Series. Morrow continued acting up to his death during filming of Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) when he and two child actors were killed by a stunt helicopter crash.
Morrow began appearing on television in the early 1950′s, guest starring on shows like The Millionaire, Matinee Theatre, Climax!, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Restless Gun, Trackdown, Richard Diamond, Private Detective, and Telephone Time.
Despite appearing in movies Morrow remained mostly a television actor, appearing in Naked City, Wichita Town, The Rifleman, The Lineup, Johnny Ringo, The Brothers Brannagan, The Law and Mr. Jones, The Lawless Years, The Barbara Stanwyck Show, General Electric Theatre, Target: The Corruptors, The Tall Man, Outlaws, Bonanza, Death Valley Days, Alcoa Premiere, Suspense, The Immortal, Dan August, Hawaii Five-O, Mannix, Sarge, McCloud, Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law and The Untouchables.
He was cast in the early Bonanza episode "The Avenger" as a mysterious figure known only as "Lassiter" – named after his town of origin – who arrives in Virginia City, and helps save Ben and Adam Cartwright from an unjust hanging, while eventually gunning down one sought-after man, revealing himself as the hunter of a lynch mob who killed his father; having so far killed about half the mob, he rides off into the night, in an episode that resembles the later Clint Eastwood film High Plains Drifter. Morrow later appeared in the third season Bonanza episode "The Tin Badge".  (Wikipedia)
Rick Jason (born Richard Jacobson; May 21, 1923 – October 16, 2000) Film and television actor most remembered for starring in the ABC television drama Combat! (1962–1967).
In the 1950′s Jason received offers for television series. He guest-starred on ABC's anthology series, The Pepsi-Cola Playhouse. In 1954, he played Joaquin Murietta, the notorious Mexican bandit of the California Gold Rush, in an episode of Jim Davis's syndicated western series Stories of the Century, the story of a railroad detective investigating crime in the American West. He appeared on the NBC interview program Here's Hollywood, in the Rawhide episodes "Incident of the Coyote Weed" and "Incident of the Valley in Shadow", and co-starred in 1969 in The Monk.
In 1960, he starred as insurance investigator Robin Scott in The Case of the Dangerous Robin, a syndicated American television series that lasted only one season. It was not renewed due to Jason's health issues, including back problems. In 1962, he began starring in the television series Combat! as Platoon Leader 2nd Lt. Gil Hanley, probably his most memorable role. In this series he shared the starring role in an alternating episode rotation, with Vic Morrow as Sgt. Chip Saunders, though in many episodes they both appeared. The show was a hit that lasted for 152 episodes in five seasons.  (Wikipedia)
The outlandish TV Spoof was the British Series, “The Avengers”, starring Patrick McNee and Honor Blackman.
