Jason Rascal's Autumn Nightmare

Jason ‘Jase’ Rascal is just an ordinary twelve-year-old boy. His daydreams, however, are quite another story - for, whenever Jase dozes off, he enters bizarre parallel worlds where he often seems to find himself in very real danger … Season Three: 'Autumn Nightmare' (or 'The Hallowe'en Horrors on Hexhill Common') Jase couldn’t have picked a worse time to enter one of his all-too-real dreamworlds: the evening of Hallowe’en! Whilst on his way to a costume party, he dozes off in his sister's car - and finds himself lost on Hexhill Common: a spooky place with a grim reaper raven, giant grasshoppers, man-eating mantids, deathwish beetles and monster moths … It’s Jase against the magic of the Pumpkin King! Stuck in this seemingly-endless nightmare, Jase has to find a way to break the curse of Hexhill - before he meets his grisly demise at the hands of countless Hallowe’en horrors! Full of phantasmagorical fun, Jase's macabre escapades will thrill (and chill) children of all shapes and sizes.
