LovedThe Halloween Tree, which is, of course, based off of the classic Ray Bradbury book, one of my very favorite books for Halloween time.

The Halloween Tree (1972)
Creators: Liked "A fast-moving, eerie...tale set on Halloween night. Eight costumed boys running to meet their friend Pipkin at the haunted house outside town encounter instead the huge and cadaverous Mr. Moundshroud. As Pipkin scrambles to join them, he is swept away by a dark Something, and Moundshroud leads the boys on the tail of a kite through time and space to search the past for their friend and the meaning of Halloween. After witnessing a funeral procession in ancient Egypt, cavemen discovering fire, Druid rites, the persecution of witches in the Dark Ages, and the gargoyles of Notre Dame, they catch up with the elusive Pipkin in the catacombs of Mexico, where each boy gives one year from the end of his life to save Pipkin's. Enhanced by appropriately haunting black-and-white drawings."--Booklist

LovedI was so impressed with Ray Bradbury when I read The Halloween Tree a couple Halloweens ago that I really want to get to Something Wicked This Way Comes.

LikedIt's a really fun, quick read, super Halloweeny. Obviously, would recommend this one for October specifically, but it's just a great spooky fall book in general, too.

LovedAnd there's so much great imagery in this that I thought was so well done. And it feels like a Halloween tale that you would want to reread every Halloween.

LovedI then read four Ray Bradberry books and I had to restrain myself from reading more I read Something Wicked This Way comes the Halloween tree and the short story collection that has 19 short stories in it with the October country
Likedhe said on Halloween he's got lots of kids in it and again you know it's great fun and very beautiful but I do believe from my point of view it's kind of a minor Bradbury
Lovedit seems that ray bradbury's the halloween tree is going to be adapted over at warner brothers it's a masterpiece work from a masterpiece author so i'm down i'm here
