‘Trick ‘r Treat’ Gets Two New Limited Editions Ahead of Halloween

No Halloween would be complete without Michael Dougherty‘s classic Trick ‘r Treat. The 2007 horror anthology is back this spooky season with a new 4K Ultra HD Limited Edition release.

Checking out some Halloween goodies from Dylan’s Candy Bar!

Halloween is coming, but why wait till then to enjoy some candy? There’s candy all over the place in stores at the moment and we can argue till the cows come home which candy is the best and assign them to tier lists, but unfortunately, there’s a lack of variety. If you want a variety and unique twists on some of your Halloween favorites, you’ll have to look online, and luckily for you, I discovered Dylan’s Candy Bar! I would like to give a big Thank You to Dylan’s Candy Bar for sending over some of their Halloween candies to try! First up is the Haunted House Sweets Bulk Bag!
