The Halloween Tree
A classic tale of horror and adventure from the master of storytelling, Ray Bradbury.
On Halloween night, eight trick-or-treaters gather at the haunted house by the edge of town, ready for adventure.
But when a dark Something whisks their friend Pip away, only one man – the sinister Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud – can help the boys find him.
