HALLOWEEN

The genesis of stories

An episode from the series ONCE UPON A TIME...

Synopsis

Every October 31, Halloween resurrects the darkest heroes of our secular tales: the legend of Jack O'Lantern and his luminous pumpkin, the ghosts of Greyfriars and Glamis who haunt the castles of Scotland, the strange illusionist Robertson who prowls around the Père Lachaise cemetery or the scavenger Sergeant Bertrand who terrorized the Montparnasse district.

This episode confronts us with the dark side of a heritage capable of scaring us to death.
