Synopsis

One of the most anticipated genre movies in years, TRICK ‘R TREAT finally arrives! Michael Dougherty – who co-wrote X2 and SUPERMAN RETURNS – makes his feature film debut as writer and director with a stylish homage to EC comics-style horror that’s chock full of ghoulish humour, genuine scares and colourful atmosphere. Set on Halloween night in small town America, it features four interwoven stories about flesh-hungry monsters, a neighborhood murderer, a tradition-loving demon and the vengeful undead. Anna Paquin (TRUE BLOOD), Brian Cox (X2), Dylan Baker (SPIDER-MAN 2 and 3) and Tahmoh Penikett (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA) star in this soon-to-be horror classic for anyone who loves Halloween.
