It is said that Halloween is the night when the dead rise to walk among us and other unspeakable things roam free. The rituals of All Hallows Eve were devised to protect us from their evil mischief, and one small town is about to be taught a terrifying lesson that some traditions are best not forgotten. Nothing is what it seems when a suburban couple learns the dangers of blowing out a Jack-o-Lantern before midnight; four women cross paths with a costumed stalker at a local festival; a group of pranksters goes too far and discovers the horrifying truth buried in a local legend; and a cantankerous old hermit is visited by a strange trick-or-treater with a few bones to pick. Costumes and candy, ghouls and goblins, monsters and mayhem... the tricks and treats of Halloween turn deadly as strange creatures of every variety-human and otherwise-try to survive the scariest night of the year.
-- Warner Bros. Pictures

Pretty good horror film. Tons of fun to watch. The only complaint that I have is that it ended too soon. I recommend that you go out and rent/buy the movie. This movie is perfect to watch on a Halloween night.

Sam is adorable. Well, I like his outfit.

i was planning on waiting til halloween to watch this.
but i might not be able to wait. i heard good things about this movie.

The movies isn't scary or one that is cult classic worthy, but it is entertaining and interesting with the overlapping of stories. Oddly hilarious as well, but I don't think it was meant to be. And the little Halloween figure in it was pretty adorable even for something so evil.

Trick ‘r Treat Director Talks Sequel
Posted on Thursday, October 8th, 2009 by Russ Fischer

Michael Dougherty’s semi-anthology horror film Trick ‘r Treat has been the subject of a lot of blog talk over the past two years, and now thanks to this week’s DVD release, everyone can see it. So, of course, Dougherty is talking about the sequel. In this case, it’s one I’m very interested to hear more about.

Dougherty tells MTV that he’s got part of the first sequel mapped out. He knows how the sequel ends, and without giving too much away, that’s the most crucial part. Because while Trick ‘r Treat is labeled an anthology film, in reality it is a handful of interwoven tales. While focusing on one, you’ll catch glimpses of the others and in that way fill in some intentional little narrative gaps. And there’s sort of a full-circle narrative style going on, so the end is, in some ways, the beginning. Once again, the organizing principle here will have to do with Sam, the little guy on the DVD covers above, who is destined to become the series’ mascot and very soon a costume you’ll see every Halloween. Dougherty says,

The whole idea originally, for me, was to do one if not every Halloween, at least every other Halloween. Because it’s an anthology film, it lends itself to telling another four stories which would intertwine – but I think you could take the film and explore how Halloween was celebrated in different locations, different time periods, and the one consistent character would be Sam, the mascot.

Beyond that, I’m not going to evangelize the first Trick ‘r Treat too much. It’s a great movie, a really fun little Halloween flick. Finally got to see it last weekend with a group of friends and, though most were skeptical at first, all were converted by the end. But so much has been written about how it’s the greatest horror movie since [insert last great horror movie title here] that I don’t want to over-inflate expectations at this point. Trick ‘r Treat is out on DVD this week, and if you like fun, well-written horror, you’ll likely enjoy it. That is all.
