TRT-0634R-v4.jpg

The film is an anthology of five Halloween-related scary stories.

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, a terrifying principal (Dylan Baker) with a serial killer attitude teaches one neighbor the true meaning of Halloween, Laurie (Anna Paquin), a young woman dressed as little red riding hood, is stalked by a mysterious hooded figure at a local Halloween Festival; a group of pranksters goes too far and discovers the horrifying truth buried in a local urban legend of a school bus massacre; and a cantankerous old hermit (Brian Cox), 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.

If you live in LA you will be able to see this soon!

Lucky resident of the Hollywood area are in for a real Halloween treat as Michael Dougherty's long-delayed Trick 'r Treat is scheduled to make it's Los Angeles premiere on October 10th as part of the Screamfest Horror Film Festival. The film will play at the Grauman?s Theatre in Hollywood and feature a Q+A with Dougherty following the screening. Click the title above for more info on the film or read on for a brand new synopsis. Other films that will be playing the October event are SPLINTER, DANCE OF THE DEAD, MARTYRS, THE BURROWERS and PARASOMNIA, with many more to be announced soon.

AICN Has a Review Up!

It was a fantastic independent horror film with a tone similar to that of Creepshow or Tales From the Crypt. It easily combined elements of black comedy and fantasy, but kept the gore and creep factors there for the horror fans.

:woot:

It's finally getting a release!

Just watching some of my favorite bits from Trick R Treat in a brand new trailer made me smile; Mike Dougherty's Halloween anthology film is a bona fide classic, and while it's a tragedy that Warner Bros has been sitting on it for about two years now it looks like it will at least get some sort of release. That new trailer includes a sting at the end where it's announced that the film will hit Blu-Ray and DVD this October.

I really hope that Warner Bros promotes the film by setting up at least a handful of screenings. This is a movie that works magnificently in a crowded theater, a movie that's a great date flick. The trailer uses a Wizard magazine quote saying that Trick R Treat is the best Halloween film in 30 years, but I disagree. I think it's the best Halloween film I have ever seen.

    • Apple Maps

      My son is in Monaco right now, and I was checking his location in Apple's Find My app. I noticed that Prince Albert's Palace was blurred out on the satellite imagery in both Find My and Apple Maps. I checked Google Maps, and the palace wasn't blurred there. Does Apple have some kind of process where property owners can request that their homes be blurred on Apple Maps?

      No, it was THAT ugly and I’d rather forget it completely existed.

      There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.

      Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.
