pineconek 's review for:

The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury
3.0

This is specifically a review of the Blackstone audio radioplay adaptation.

This was fine and pretty cute, in an "episode of wishbone" kind of way. The Halloween tree follows a group of boys reaching their friend and learning about the traditions of Halloween, and rituals honouring the dead, across time and culture. I'm far from the target audience for this but enjoyed it for what it was.

Recommended if you like songs in Disney movies, don't mind a cast of characters that says "gee goly" and "aww shucks" and the like, and are feeling a little spooky.
