Meet Oakley the angry apple tree

He could've been a starting pitcher for the Cubs. Instead, the Wicked Witch of the West planted him forever in a haunted forest. But he got pretty good at throwing apples at passersby. So on your way to Oz (or Spirits on Sproat), don't crowd the plate or tick Oakley off, or you could get beaned by a big red delicious. Eager to discover more about Oakley? Chew on these tidbits:

  • Claim to fame: Throwing apples at Dorothy & friends in The Wizard of Oz
  • Bet you didn’t know: His cousin Elmwood was the evil tree in Poltergeist
  • Horror movie he’s most scared of: Saw
  • Catch-phrases: “I’m tree-mendously pissed off,” “Leaf me the hell alone,”      “How do ’ya like them apples?”
