"Lead through the mist by the milk-light of moon, all that was lost is revealed..." The moment you hear this song, you're drawn into the mystery of the Unknown and follow the journey of Wirt and Greg, two brothers who find themselves lost in the woods. I followed this miniseries when it was initially broadcast on Cartoon Network, and I urge you to go in completely blind. Don't read any synopsis of the ten episodes, don't look up any images or spoilers. Don't even read past this post--just go in blind. The fun is in the mystery of the world. I will say that you should prepare for some frights, but it's all part of the atmosphere. I found the best time to watch this show around October/November, just as Halloween has settled in OR as it lingers and autumn's chill turns into what will be the bite of winter. Have a night-in with a blanket and a cup of your favorite hot drink to amp up the experience--the total run time is about the same as a feature film, so you won't be sitting for too long.
