Tonight's Halloween Month review is on the TV mini-series, Over the Garden Wall.
It follows two brothers who have gotten lost in the woods and their adventures with the unknown as they try to find their way home.
This series is only 10 episodes long at 11 minutes per episode, allowing you to binge-watch it in just over an hour and a half. (It's currently available on Hulu, by the way)
The show drops you into the middle of the story, with the brothers already lost and trying to find their way out of the woods. It gives you an understanding of their isolation because, like the brothers, you have no idea where you are or what's going on and you're figuring everything out as they do. Eventually, you're given a flashback to show how they got lost in the first place, finally giving context to their story.
It's a beautiful tale of unknown dangers, supernatural encounters, and learning to appreciate your sibling, no matter how annoying they may be. It has a great cast to suck you into the story, with Elijah Wood as Wirt, the older brother, and Christopher Lloyd as the Woodsman. I highly recommend you give this one a watch!
