Review:

Yep, it's already that time of year when a slew of Halloween themed DVDs will be released. LionsGate released the single-disc Power Rangers: Trickster Treat DVD this week, featuring 4 monstrous episodes - Raising Spirits (Megaforce), Trickster Treat (Super Samurai), Zedd's Monster Mash (Mighty Morphin) and It Came from Angle Grove (Zeo).

Raising Spirits is the Halloween Special from the first Megaforce season. While Emma (Pink Ranger  - played by Christina Masterson) tries to make Halloween goodies at Ernie's, the rest of the rangers visit a medium, who shows them their past battles through a crystal ball. When the medium reveals himself as the creature Glytcher, the rangers must once again save Angel Grove.


Trickster Treat is the Halloween Special for the Super Samurai season and centers on Master Xandred's hatred for the holiday. He sends his newest Nighlok monster Trickster to Earth to trap the Ranger in a nightmare world where Trickster is in control of everything. The Rangers must band together to escape the nightmare and defeat Trickster.


Zedd's Monster Mash aired during the second season of the Mighty Morphin series and centered on Zedd sending his Putties to Earth to interfere with the Youth Center Halloween Party. While Tommy (White Ranger played by Jason David Frank) is taking children trick-or-treating, Goldar kidnaps and takes him to an isolated place to fight the monster Doomstone.


It Came from Angle Grove aired during the Zeo season and centered on Adam (the Green Ranger played by Johnny Yong Bosch) falling asleep while watching an old monster movie and he enters into a black & white nightmare where all the other Rangers are monsters.


My favorite holiday is Halloween, so I appreciate any Halloween themed DVD releases, including the Power Rangers. This release features Halloween specials from two of the most recent seasons as well as two classic episodes from original seasons. Raising Spirits is mostly just a clip show. Trickster Treat is a crazy episode, even by Power Rangers standards. Zedd's Monster Mash is a classic, fun episode. My favorite episode out of these four is It Came from Angle Grove, which is a homage to the classic monster films. Overall, all the episodes on the Power Rangers: Trickster Treat are a treat to watch.
