The Halloween Tree (1993) - Double Feature Part 2/2

Pick your soul pumpkin and grab a corner of a cape as we hurtle into the second part of our Ray Bradbury double bill with this Hanna-Barbera animated treat.

Lollygagging, the Roseanne Halloween special, TV quality animation, "that mortician woman on YouTube" (Caitlin Doughty), edutainment, a slingshot on a sarcophagus, purple prose readings, Carmen Sandiego, the gargoyles of Notre Dame, transatlantic traditions, a big sombrero for Dia de Los Muertos, a beastly kite with lots of eyes and fangs, Mari Lwyd, collars for bin bag Dracula capes, Samhain, the categorisation of Hard Magic and Soft Magic, don't be fooled by the rocks that she's got - she's still Jenny from the block, candy skull ASMR, the weathervane agenda, and the Cartoon Network of it all await.

What were our own notable childhood Hallowe'en costumes? Listen and find out!
