Nothing says "autumn" quite like our favorite series, Over the Garden Wall. If you're not familiar (and therefore missing out), OtGW embodies the spirit of fall in all of its spookiness, crunchy-leafness, and the childlike innocence of your very first campfire scare. Equal parts whimsy and darkness, the forbidden forests, pumpkin kingdoms, and highwayman huts hit us right in the feels every fall, and there's nothing we can do to stop it.

The winter winds blow from the north, turning the ground crispy and cold, while warming our hearts with festive mirth. The harvest is plentiful and the toads are hopping alongside the mushroomed trail. Witches wail in the distance and formidable friends are forged by the warm-hearthed fires in our cabins. So if your soul lacks the whimsy and impishness of a mischievous hallow of changelings, fear not dead friends, Over the Garden Wall is here to save the day.

Carve your pumpkins into a wistful smile and cherish the nostalgia of a child's first happy harvest.
