With supernatural characters and imaginative creatures, Over the Garden Wall is totally unique.
The animated series follows Greg and Wirt, two brothers who find themselves lost in the woods. They encounter a strange woodsman lighting a lamp from the wood of odd-looking trees. The woodsman warns them of The Beast, a creature that stalks through the forest, preying on the innocent. A bluebird named Beatrice offers to help the boys return home, and together, the group sets off deeper into the forest. They encounter a society of pumpkins, powerful witches, and a boat full of frogs.
With each episode, the weather grows colder as the story becomes darker. It's a masterful show that is a must-watch during the fall season.
