Over the Garden Wall
Over the Garden Wall is a lovely little miracle, blending whimsical adventure with some of the darkest, bleakest content a kid-friendly animated miniseries ever dared to explore. Plus, it’s a musical! And it features the voices of Elijah Wood, Melanie Lynskey, Christopher Lloyd, Tim Curry, and many others. Released in 2014, Patrick McHale’s Cartoon Network creation is now a full-fledged cult classic most associated with Halloween—this year, not long after finishing the final episode, I spotted two different, lovingly detailed group costumes paying homage to the series. – Cheryl Eddy
