THE HALLOWEEN TREE by Ray Bradbury
"And it was the afternoon of Halloween.
And all the houses shut against a cool wind.
And the town full of cold sunlight.
But suddenly, the day was gone.
Night came out from under each tree and spread."
Bradbury's "The Halloween Tree" (1950) follows the path of eight boys on an adventure to save the life of their friend on Halloween Night. Guided by the mysterious Mr. Moundshroud, they travel through time and space, learning about different cultures, and how each views and deals with death.

The Bradbury Project is open, and it is time for the first story.
Join Caledonia as she presents a chilling tale from Bradbury's collection "Dandelion Wine." Lavinia Nebbs is determined that not even the discovery of a murder, and the knowledge that the killer (a serial killer, as it happens) is still on the loose will upset or inconvenience her in any way.
None the less, "The Lonely One" is still abroad and might just be a little too close for safety - even for Lavinia Nebbs.

Events and activities at The Bradbury Project include:
Readings of "The Halloween Tree" (presented in 3
Episodes)
eClipse Club & Resort Presents at The Bradbury Project:
This project is built in two skyboxes that follow the path
of the first third of the story "The Halloween Tree"
LEVEL 1: It begins in a neighborhood on the edge of Green
Town, a fictional Midwest American town that is the scene for a great number of
Ray Bradbury's works, including "Something Wicked This Way Comes,"
the collection "Dandelion Wine", and "The Halloween Tree."
LEVEL 2: Moundshroud's House - The Halloween Tree. The path
picks up in the center of the ravine, approaching the home of Mr Moundshroud,
with The Halloween Tree on the grounds, and a path to the Kite Barn, where the
first third of the story concludes. Reference to places that the boys and Mr
Moundshroud visit in their succeeding adventure are represented within
Moundshroud's House in this Project.
The Bradbury Project uses the “Caledonian Studios” and “Quantum
Products” experiences. Accept these to navigate and see the project as
designed. We recommend that you set your draw distances to 125, and use shared
environment.
As a fallback, you could set your viewer EEP to A-6PM or any
other dusk-like EEP. It will not look as
good as the EEP the build was created for, but it will suffice.
The Bradbury Project will remain open through November 16th.
Seanchai
Library is proud to announce the newest edition to its Special Projects Series.
These literature-immersive experiences allow guests to walk in the footsteps of
the characters that inhabit the world of a work of fiction: exploring
environments inspired by the words of the story, and hearing those words
presented live. The best known of these is the popular holiday tradition The Dickens
Project. Inspired, in part, by Charles Dickens’ 1843 novella A Christmas
Carol this project will return to Second Life ® for its 2023 Edition in
December. The newest
project is focused on the work of American author and screenwriter, Ray
Bradbury, and features his short story “The Halloween Tree.” The Bradbury
Project will open on October 6th and remain open through
November 16th.
"We
are really excited about this one. It taps into an enthusiasm for Halloween
that many of our regular community shares. The story addresses how we think
about and deal with death in a way that is healthy, I believe," said
Caledonia Skytower of Seanchai Library. "We get as immersed in creating
our projects as we hope our guests do in experiencing them. But there is
something special about this one. There is so much farther we could take it,
and that is inspiring." The
Bradbury Project is patterned after the popular Dickens Project and follows the
path of eight boys on an adventure to save the life of their friend on
Halloween Night.
