Short Film Review: Trick r’ Treat (2018)

Trick r’ Treat begins with a woman (Julie Landriault) finding a stack of missing children flyers on the windshield of her car. Later that night she receives a visit from some ghostly trick r’ treaters (Johnny Elston, Ricky Elston, and Daniel Elston) who may not be what they seem! Running a compact minute and thirty seconds (two minutes with credits), Trick r’ Treat is an effective lil’ supernatural shocker. Writer/Director Andrew J.D. Robinson presents the piece with an economy of storytelling, and with some fun cinematic touches. The first act is presented in stark black and white giving it a Night of the Living Dead vibe, while the second have is presented in warm colors…it’s well done and gives the two disparate acts a unique flavor. Also well done are the visuals for the trick r’ treaters themselves…simple sheets and a bit of make-up adds up to a palpable sense of menace from these terror tykes! Bottom line, Trick r’

Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Anna Paquin

Gather ’round my Little Monsters, gather ’round! That midweek celebration of a wonderful Woman of Horror is here for your reading pleasure. With this particular actress you’ll have folks that know her as Rogue and those who know her as Sookie, but regardless of how you know of her you have to admit Anna Paquin is a versatile talent. Anna was born a Canuck in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, as the youngest of Mary and Brian Paquin’s three children. At four years of age, she and her family relocated to Wellington, New Zealand, where she spent several years growing up as a Kiwi. It was during her family’s time in New Zealand that Anna would earn her life changing acting role.

Michael Dougherty Turns His Attention To Completing The Script For Trick ‘r Treat 2

Michael Dougherty’s latest film, Krampus, opened this weekend in theaters. Dougherty can now turn his attention back to completing his script for the sequel to his 2007 Halloween-themed anthology hit Trick ‘r Treat. Dougherty had already begun working on the sequel before he took time off from the script to work on Krampus. News broke that he had plans for the film two years ago, but after a long period of silence fans began questioning if Trick ‘r Treat 2 would ever make it to theaters. Dougherty recently stated that the film already has an outline and that he has every intention of seeing the film completed, which is great news for fans. There is no release date set, but we hope to see Sam sooner, rather than later. Dougherty had this to say about the sequel: “I’m just really against filling in too much information about your horror icons. I always find that they get less scary the more

‘Trick ‘r Treat’ Director Gives An Update About The Sequel

2007’s horror film ‘Trick ‘r Treat’ became an instant Halloween classic, recently spawning a graphic novel and soon, a sequel. Now that writer/director Michael Dougherty’s Christmas film, ‘Krampus’ , is done he can turn his attention back to the ‘Trick ‘r Treat’ sequel. Dougherty spoke with Cinema Blend earlier this week about what we can expect from the sequel to the anthology filmy and what we will not see. “I’m just really against filling in too much information about your horror icons. I always find that they get less scary the more you know about them. [We won’t be] diving too deep into Sam’s origins. They will always remain shrouded in mystery.” Dougherty continued “I feel like the first film really just scratched the surface in terms of exploring what really goes on in the shadows of Halloween. For me the first film is really just introducing audiences to the notion that, yes strange creepy magical things do happen on

Director Michael Dougherty Confirms Trick ‘r Treat 2 Is In Development

Director Michael Dougherty announced two years ago that 2007’s Halloween horror anthology ‘Trick ‘r Treat’ would be getting a sequel. Fans have since been eagerly awaiting the sequel, but little news has been released, until now. Dougherty talked about the sequel during an interview with IGN , stating that he has already begun developing ‘Trick ‘r Treat 2’. He also explained the delay. “It’s going to happen. It’s just, the tricky thing is, as we were announcing Trick ‘r Treat 2, I was finishing the screenplay for Krampus. If we didn’t do it, someone was going to.” Dougherty continued about the sequel “I want to get it right. I don’t want to rush it. We do have the comic book that’s coming out this October , which sort of acts like a, I hate to use the word prequel, but it expands the universe a little bit, in that we sort of explore the long history of Halloween, before the
