Trick 'r Treat
In the anthology-style horror movie Trick 'r Treat, we are served a chilling banquet of Halloween-themed stories. The film, directed by Michael Dougherty, interweaves multiple narratives that unfold on the same eerie All Hallows' Eve in an unnamed town. Rhonda (Samm Todd), a reserved young girl, uncovers her bullies' cruel prank, while Principal Wilkins (Dylan Baker) harbors a gruesome secret hobby. Meanwhile, Laurie (Anna Paquin), a woman looking for her first, encounters a dangerous predator. Elsewhere, an elderly recluse Mr. Kreeg (Brian Cox) gets an unexpected visitor with sinister intentions. The characters cross paths in a darkly humorous and blood-curdling exploration of traditions and lore surrounding the most haunted night of the year.
