Trick r Treat: so firstly I wanna give some insight into this film….firstly when this film came out for some reason not alot of people went and saw this movie….but over the years it became a cult classic, yeah ill never understand why this film was so hated, it’s such an amazing film…..but without further a due let’s get into the trailer shall we

Ohhhhh spooky!! Boo!! Hehehehehe so without further a due let’s get into the review shall we?

But first, let’s give a rating for this film so we can get into spoilers…..overall I absolutely freaking love this film, it’s become a tradition where I watch this film every October, along with John Carpenters Halloween…..I highly recommend checking this film out, it’s a great horror anthology film…so I’ll give this film a solid 10/10, warning spoilers ahead y’all been warned…

So we open up with a woman and her boyfriend coming home from some Halloween event, the woman is dressed up as a robot, and she’s fed up with Halloween she wants it to be over….uh ohh….she’s not for the holiday, so she takes her costume off and starts tearing down the decorations…..now I love this scene because it does something unorthodox for horror…..we get 2 fake outs before we see the killer….we see a discounted Michael Myers standing across the road staring at her…so maybe he’s the killer? It ain’t then she slowly walks to one of her decorations that’s a ghost sheet she pulls it down maybe it’s the killer underneath? Nope but then the killer jumps out of the basket she’s tossing the sheets into…the killer being this ancient Halloween demon named Sam…

And he stabs her with a half-eaten pumpkin designed lollipop….then her boyfriend comes out a little later and pulls down a sheet and finds his dead girlfriend hanging as a prop, dead with the lollipop in her mouth….dunn dunn dunnn…we then cut to open theme credits which with the opening credits I’m getting heavy Tales From The Crypt vibes mixed with Psycho Music…

Anyway we then cut back to a few hours earlier….yeah few hours earlier….where it’s also established this town the film is in is Ohio and they really take their Halloween traditions seriously…..Is Ohio taking Halloween traditions seriously? I doubt it…..moving on we see these teenage girls dressing into Halloween clothes all while their small-year-old brother is peeping in on them….ewww ewww that’s nasty

Anyways they head out for Halloween and we cut to a chubby kid passing by pumpkins on fences and he’s knocking them over…he passes by a teacher’s house and goes up to the house and steels more candy out of the bowl…more than the bowl says to take, then the teacher guy returns home with some groceries and he asks the kid to take a seat…then he pulls out a knife and a pumpkin, starts carving it while telling the kid the original traditions of Halloween and how no one celebrates it the way it was meant to be anymore….how shameful…all while this kid is eating one of the chocolate bars he stole out of the teacher’s bowl….

Then he tells the kid that he should have checked the candy before eating it then the kid starts profusely vomiting….. uh ew, that’s disgusting….then the kid dies so he drags the kid’s body inside, takes the body to the backyard to bury the body…..ok what a suspicious character huh….anyways his son starts screaming down at his dad from his bedroom window about he wants his dad to come back in to do pumpkin carving together…..all while being oblivious of his dead burying a dead kid….

Then all of a sudden the teacher sees a glimpse of his next-door neighbor in his neighbor’s house, he hears him scream help me….and the teacher just walks away ignoring him…..don’t worry it will make sense later why this teacher ignored his neighbor……

Also before I move on keep this In mind the teacher can’t carve a pumpkin with his son because the teacher is gonna go out to get a quick bite…..pun is completely intended

Anyways we then cut to this group of kids waiting for a girl who’s dressing up as a Witch to come out so they can go trick or treating….but the other girls have another plan in mind, to scare the girl who’s dressed as a Witch…..so they head to this giant hole where this legend about a bus filled with mentally ill kids was in it, the bus driver was hired by the kid’s parents to drive them into the hole because they were having enough of they’re own kids…..damn what cruel parents…

They basically be like damn hey bus driver we can’t stand the sight of our own kids…we will pay u to drown them for us?

Anyways they send the girl down to the crater…..these undead people come popping out of the water scaring her…turns out it’s her friends dressed as dead people to scare her….what a bunch of shite heads, so she heads back up via the elevator…just then the real undead kids show up behind those kids and attack them…

Good riddance, the girl walks off happy, she also in the distance sees Little Sam just staring at her…then he walks away…

The next story involves this group of teenage girls…..there going to a late Halloween party to get drunk and hooked up…..also one of their younger brothers Is spying on them changing into Halloween clothing, ew perv…

So the girls go out to a parade first, where this vampire stalker starts stalking them, we see him biting into teenage girls’ necks in alleyways…..the hell is going on here?

Oh if that’s ur thought right now, how do I explain this…things about to completely flip onto their head, so for u see these teenage girls make their way to a forest where these groups of girls are at….they all get together, they are all wearing hoods…

They start chanting some incantation…..witches? Kinda, anyways the vampire stalker follows behind….but ends up being caught….they knock him out of a tree, and he’s on the ground…..they remove his fake teeth, yeah the fangs are fake….and guess who the so-called vampire is? That teacher from the other anthology story I mentioned earlier, Dunn dun dun!

Then the girls surround him. He asks who are they…..the girls proceed to take their clothes off, proceed to dance then start tearing their skin off….the F**k? Yeah, they are werewolves….what a twist, I actually liked this plot twist because it took the traditional helpless girl, the hunter monster, and flipped it on its head…

Turns out these helpless girls are the hunters, anyways they tear their skin away revealing werewolves underneath….they go ahead and eat the guy alive, yikes…

BTW there was a not-so-subtle hint to all this earlier when the girl’s younger brother spied on them. The girls in the room said I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow ur house down….wow subtitly ain’t I right?

So onto the final story which takes us this this grumpy old guy next door to that teacher We’re gonna call him Scrooge because he’s the Scrooge of Halloween…

Anyways since he doesn’t like Halloween and doesn’t give kids candy. Heck, when his neighbor who’s the teacher says hi to him…the guy walks back inside with an angry face…what a dick….so as he’s about to wind down for the night near his fireplace…we see a Pic he tossed into the fireplace…

Turns out this Scrooge guy is the bis driver who was paid by the parents to drive those kids to their deaths…. dun dun  dun…

Anyways so that night Sam comes into his house and starts attacking him….the guy looks out at his neighbor who’s outside in the backyard….he screams for help. The teacher goes back inside and says what an Asshole……well this is what u get for treating everyone like crap….anyways Sam gets on top of him….he wrestles Sam which rips his sack mask off…

Revealing underneath a skeletal pumpkin face….ok I like this design because it embodies the true essence of Halloween…or All Hallows Eve, depending on what u wanna call that time of the year…

Anyways he shoots Sam off of him. Instead of blood coming out of Sam it’s pumpkin seeds…. Oh clever, so then Sam gets up. Proceeds to take his half-eaten pumpkin lollipop, then stabs the guy in the chest…not to kill or hurt him…no because there’s a chocolate bar in his shirt pocket which he wants…

So he takes it and leaves, well ain’t that convenient…..anyways now Scrooge is so scared he now celebrates Halloween….he opens the door and gives kids candy…even though he has bandages on his head and arm… doesn’t know when he had the time to get all those on him in 1 night before the night was over but still…

The kids compliment him, saying nice mummy costume…he smiles at them as they go away, and he closes the door….just to hear the doorbell ring again so he opens it and guess who’s at the door? The decomposing corpses of those kids he killed in the bus drive….womp womp. They’re back for blood…

So the film ends with them going into his house to kill him, the end……so yeah that’s Trick R Treat….this film was such a blast to watch….I highly recommend it, anyways hope y’all enjoyed this review, and here’s a tease for the next review I’m working on….catch y’all next time..

Also happy Halloween, have yourself a wonderful spooky Halloween…
