An exciting educational film that children will love, the parents will too. This isn't a boring halloween kids movie it shows children why they go out on halloween dressed up as ghosts, mummies, witches and monsters and has a really heart warming ending. I recommend this for children to watch before halloween night so they can get excited about dressing up. (who doesn't)
A truly wonderful animation following the exploits of four children who learn the true meanings and reasons we celebrate Halloween as they travel through time to learn why we celebrate All Hallows Eve (Halloween). Dressed as a Skeleton a Witch a Mummy And a Werewolf the Children race through time and different cultures to save their friend from the grip of the Evil yet wonderfully portrayed Mr Moundshroud! Leanord Nimoy (Spock from Star Trek) is Excellent at portraying the role or Mr Moundshroud. A must for the whole family as it is as educational for the Children as it is heart warming for the Child in us all.
This was a lovely animated holiday special. They don't make very many Halloween specials anymore. It's as if American society wants to let it die, which is a real shame because Halloween is my favourite holiday. I absolutely love this movie. It was made in 1993 but it has a feel to it that makes it seem far older. It just has an old fashioned quality to it that I find strangely comforting.
It's based on the story by Ray Bradbury, author of The Martian Chronicles and Fahrenhiet 451 and he even narrates it, which I love. Bradbury is one of my favourite authors. Sure this film has a few slightly dark moments but it's actually very educational and at the same time heart warming.

The most Insightful and Delightful Halloween Movie I have EVER seen! As always, Ray BradBury Rocks! This movie takes Halloween to the next level by explaining the true origins of the Holiday throughout notable parts of the world. Narrarated by one of my favorite actors, Leonard Nimoy, (Mr. Spock) A delight for Children and Adults Alike! Grab your popcorn, and your family for this awesome depiction of Halloween History, Folks!!! May I suggest reading the original Book? It also Rocks! Other book suggestions by Ray Bradbury regarding this Topic: "The October Country" and "Something Wicked This Way Comes" Enjoy The Undiscovered Country of Halloween Everyone!

This perfect gem of a movie is indescribible. It is touching ,poetic ,excellent in performances and plotting. Leonard Nimoy is astounding as Moundshroud ,the music score was brilliant. I think Ray Bradbury deserves great credit. This film won an Emmy (one it was damn deserving of). This is what I consider the smartest move I ever made when buying a video. I was not Dissapointed. Bradbury Rules. The book is great too.

- TriviaEven though the film was entirely produced by Hanna-Barbera, with the exception of "Castle Thunder" being heard a few times, none of Hanna-Barbera's famous sound effects show up in this film. This became more common with the company during the 1990s.
