Death Jr. Halloween Special

Title: Death Jr. Halloween Special

Death Jr. and his friends go trick-or-treating. They're not afraid of ghosts or goblins, but high school students can be a frightening thing to encounter on Halloween night. Along the way, the group stops at the home of Mother Nature and her daughter, Furi.

The idea here is interesting: The Grim Reaper is just a guy with a job to do, and his son is just another kid. Good dialogue, but something of a heavy-handed joke at the end. As promotional ashcans go, this is a decent effort, but nothing to get too excited about.

Rating: 6/10
