Trivia
The Dia De Los Muertos sequence was filmed in two parts. Hollow, the song performed by The Weeping Woman (Wendy Rule) was filmed on the first day of filming as it was her only day of availability. The rest of the party was filmed at the end of the shoot. Both nights were full moons.

Goofs
The school's rooftop pigeons never move and are clearly props, though the sound mixers did add in some cooing.

Quotes
Corey: We do want to grow up. There's just a part of us that doesn't want to stop.
Romany: Stop?
Corey: Climbing trees.

Perfect Halloween Movie

Boys in the Trees is a coming-of-age film, despite many streaming services mislabeling it as a horror. There's only one scare in the film; however, the real horror in this film is the fear of growing up, which is executed flawlessly through the performances of the actors, the 90s/Halloween setting, and the surreal tone of the film. The only thing bringing down this film is the ending, which is not only regrettably predictable, but it also renders some of the previous scenes nonsensical. Worth watching for the excellent performances and the perfect representation of a child/teen's view of growing up.
