Description:
Jason (Christopher Ogden) used to love Halloween, when he would scare the town together with his dad. However, this year is different because his dad has left home after divorcing Jason's mom (Denise Crosby). Jason's friends help him get over this hump, but it's his granddad (Philip Abbott) who teaches him about how imperfect parents are and manages and how the holiday can still be awe-inspiring. Soon, spooky things happen to this bunch of trick-or-treaters. Like an old ABC Afterschool Special, Pumpkin Man is a well-constructed tale that teaches a quick, solid lesson to kids. Although the 30-minute short is an outstanding tool in helping adolescents understand one aspect of divorce, it has enough Halloween fare to be a good holiday treat for kids ages 6 to 12. --Doug Thomas
