Trick R Treat! Finally!

Directed by MICHAEL DOUGHERTY
Starring ANNA PAQUIN, BRYAN COX, DYLAN BAKER, 
TAHMOH PENIKETT, and LESLIE BIBB 

I have been waiting for this film for years. I can't believe it's finally here. For some reason this film was buried by Warner Brothers. I'm not sure what Warner Brothers' problem was with this film because it's brilliant. This film is my new favorite Halloween film and is easily the next 'Creepshow.' It's a thrilling anthology and one the best scary movie I've had in a while.

I'm so tired of seeing commercials for a new 'Saw' movie every year or similar torture films. Ugh! 'Trick R Treat' is an old fashioned scary movie, almost John Carpenter-esque Whatever happened to good old fashioned scary movies, like 'Halloween,' 'The Shining,' or 'The Thing?' I cannot fathom why WB sent this movie straight to DVD. This little movie was one ball of horrific awesomeness. 'Trick r Treat' can be downloaded off itunes or rented from Blockbuster.

Plot: Weaves five delightful Halloween tales together: a husband and wife have very different views on Halloween, a serial killer masquerading as an everyday high school principal, a college virgin looking for her first love, a mean group of pre-teens who get the taste of their own medicine, and an old codger who hates Halloween.
