Costume Quest (Amazon)
Wren, Reynold, Everett and Lucy face off against ferocious, nougat-munching monsters that lurk in the shadows of the sleepy town of Auburn Hollow. They must learn to use their imaginations to unlock the magical powers of their homemade costumes and save the universe on a night where monsters reign... Halloween!
I was a staff writer for 26 episodes of this series. I wrote four episodes and co-wrote two others. Produced by Frederator Studios (Adventure Time, Bee and PuppyCat, Castlevania). Based on the smash video game of the same name by Double Fine Productions. Showrunner: Will McRobb (co-creator of The Adventures of Pete & Pete).
PRESS:
“The series starts well and gets better, growing looser and more poetic… Nominally aimed at the elementary school crowd, it is also the work of animators pleasing themselves, pulling a phrase from Yeats here, nodding to “Peanuts” music there. The drawing, with a fine-line pen-and-ink look, is packed with detail, the writing is fresh and offbeat, with a fine sense of pop-cultural bemusement.” —LA Times
