Trick 'R Treat (2007)

Trick ‘r Treat tells five spooky stories that center around beloved Halloween traditions, but there’s a bit of a twist. They all take place in the same town and on the same night, so they intertwine a lot more than you might expect. To take just a couple of examples, characters often appear in more than one segment, and there’s even a scene that gives hosts Sean Parker and JP Nunez a tiny sneak preview of a story still to come.

It’s a really cool idea that’s executed just about perfectly, and throughout the conversation, the hosts go over all the things we love about it. For instance, talking about the way this movie honors Halloween and its central traditions, the stories’ subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) undertones of suburban chaos, and the loveable little demon named Sam. On top of that, they also cover some of the best and most exciting news to hit the horror world in the last two weeks, like the recent releases of The Exorcist: Believer, Totally Killer, and When Evil Lurks.

If you enjoy the podcast, stay tuned for the next episode when we welcome Michelle Iannantuono and her crew to talk about their film Livescreamers and some of the surprising ways it was influenced by Clue.
