Written and narrated by Ray Bradbury, the screenplay snagged him his only Emmy – though he’s also won just about every other award you can think of, including a National Medal of Arts, a special citation from the Pulitzer Prize committee, countless lifetime achievement awards, and his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, to name just a few.įor others of us, though, before the animated movie there was the book, often a battered black Bantam paperback with orange and white font on the cover, and illustrations throughout by Joseph Mugnaini. Many people's introduction to Ray Bradbury’s The Halloween Tree may not have been a book at all, but the Emmy Award-winning animated film – featuring the voices of Bradbury himself and Leonard Nimoy as Moundshroud – that first aired on ABC in 1993 and played seemingly every year thereafter on Cartoon Network.
