A Razorblade-Laden Treat!

Most of you have already heard about or seen the trailer for upcoming horror film “Trick’r'Treat.” If not, you need to immediately. I actually looks really fucking good. Not only is it R-rated, it stars Brian Cox, Dylan Baker and more.

Warner Brothers details the plot:

“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.”

As an added bonus, check out “Trick’r'Treat” director Michael Dougherty’s animated short film “Season’s Greetings” which is partly the inspiration for “Trick’r'Treat” HERE. It’s fairly morbid for an animated short from 1996! Ah, I miss the days when MTV had quality animated programming like this, “The Head” and “The Maxx”.

But enough reminiscing, I’m genuinely excited about this movie. It could be the fresh breath of air that mainstream horror so desperately needs right now. But until then…we can only hope!
