They explore the origins of Halloween traditions, from ancient Celtic rituals to haunted houses, all while racing against time to save a missing friend.
About this
This is the Wikipedia talk page for The Halloween Tree rather than the encyclopedia article itself, so it carries almost no plot or production detail. It holds WikiProject banner assessments (Stub-class; Mid-importance for Novels/Fantasy; supported by the Halloween task force) plus a single threaded comment about the cast of characters. The only substantive content claim is that the source novel contains nine boys, while the animated adaptation trimmed that number and added a girl.
