31-Day Horror Challenge Day Sixteen: Trick 'R Treat



Though it's usually all about the classics, this 2007-made film deserves a place among Halloween tradition.  There is something so creative and entertaining about a well done anthology type storyline.  Also, the fact that this one is set on Halloween night, it will, without question, give you that good old fall spirit.

As I said, this is an anthology film so it's kind of hard to give a plot summary.  There are four completely different stories interwoven into one large story.  It was a bold move but it paid off excellently.  There are ghost children, werewolves, a murdering maniac and a crazy little jack o'lantern/alien thing called Sam.  All in all, it's pretty damn awesome.

If you like fantastic writing, solid direction and the Halloween season, this film is for you.  I can't recommend it enough for this time of the year.  It's a bloody good time!
