Tonight's Stinker The Magic Christmas Tree (1964) https://youtu.be/PYtvzTUdudI?si=AV-YwiA3bDkNmyoj On Halloween, a little boy dares his two friends to visit an old witch's house... They get scared & run off, but the old woman catches the boy, then asks him to get her cat out of a tree.... So, he climbs the tree, falls, and the movie changes from black & white to color, kinda like in The Wizard Of Oz... It turns out, the old woman really is a witch, who who rewards him with a Santa Claus ring, & tells him there's a magic tree seed inside.... First, he has to wait for Thanksgiving, so he can plant the seed with a wishbone..... Then, Christmas comes, the tree can talk, & grants the boy three wishes, which he promptly uses to get into mischief, then kidnaps Santa..... Some attempts at slapstick.... All the dialog is dubbed in at a rather shrill tone.... Pretty grating at times... I was gonna try & make it a Sunday twofer, but this one used up all my patience.....
