actually that's a different "trick 'r treat" than the one i'm talking about. the one you're talking about actually has gene simmons and ozzy osbourne in it. i have seen that one before, though.

the one i'm talking about is new and was scheduled for an october 5th release but was pushed back to 2008 sometime.

check it out: http://imdb.com/title/tt0862856/

Dang, I thought the new one was coming out next weekend?

Yea the original-totally different story-was good fun. Had "Skippy" from Family Ties too!

Anna Paquin is also teh smex.

ditto that...I think that is the TREAT portion.

Yes.I agree.Treeeeeeaaaaaaat.

wow it got pushed back that far? that sucks i was so looking foward to that ,oh well guess it'll just be Saw 4 and 30 Days of Night this month other then working on our projects.

yeah, those movies are apparently the reason it was pushed back. they didn't want to have to compete with them.

lame.

Trick 'r Treat kicks off Screamfest in LA
 

September 17, 2008


Helmer-scribe Michael Dougherty's "Trick 'r Treat" will kick off the Screamfest Horror Film Fest on Oct. 10.

Dougherty, who won the fest's animated short award in 2003 for "Deadtime Stories," will be on hand for a Q&A session after the screening.

The Anna Paquin starrer, produced by Bryan Singer, Alex Garcia and Dan Harris, is a tale of gore and mayhem set in a small town on Halloween night.

The horror comedy also co-stars Dylan Baker, Leslie Bibb, Tahmoh Penikett and Brian Cox.

Fest runs Oct. 10-19 at Mann's Grauman's Chinese Theater at LA.

It would appear that Warner Bros.' well-reviewed, oft-delayed horror film Trick 'r Treat will finally get both a theatrical and home video release before Halloween finally rolls back around.

Michael Doughterty's horror anthology will get a limited theatrical release this July, followed by a full-on DVD and Blu-ray release in October.

Specific cities and dates have yet to be announced.

For those unfamiliar with the film – which has gone tragically un-marketed – here's a refresher on 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.

Woo-hoo!

You said it, brother.
