The Halloween Tree
That is correct. It is "The Halloween Tree" (1993 TV movie), based on Ray Bradbury's novel, which you might want to read. It's a thin little book with a wonderfully fascinating story. The movie captured that so well that I don't understand why it isn't shown every year at Halloween. Ray Bradbury narrates the movie!
Summary from Wikipedia:
"The story is about a group of eight boys who set out to go trick-or-treating on Halloween, only to discover that a ninth friend, Pipkin, has been whisked away on a journey that could determine whether he lives or dies. Through the help of a mysterious character named Moundshroud, they pursue their friend across time and space through ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures, Celtic Druidism, Notre Dame Cathedral in Medieval Paris, and The Day of the Dead in Mexico. Along the way, they learn the origins of the holiday that they celebrate, and the role that the fear of death has played in shaping civilization. The Halloween Tree itself, with its many branches laden with jack-o'-lanterns, serves as a metaphor for the historical confluence of these traditions."
This would be a good companionpiece for "Something Wicked This Way Comes", a film based on the Bradbury novel. Now, all we need are episodes from "The Ray Bradbury Theater"!
