Trick 'R Treat

Cast:  Dylan Baker, Rochelle Aytes, Anna Paquin, Brian Cox, Lauren Lee Smith

Director:  Michael Dougherty

2007


Quite possibly the best Halloween film outside the classic Michael Myers franchise.  This takes on a bit of everything from a serial killer, a "vampire," a pack of werewolves and ghost zombies from a Halloween massacre 30 years earlier!  The story is told as an anthology of separate stories, all in the same town on Halloween night that tie together in the end.  A brilliant film and a must see for any Halloween lovers.  The film's writer, Michael Dougherty, announced he is planning a sequel.



Story:  Four interwoven tales on Halloween night:  A school principal who has a secret life as a serial killer; a self-concious 22 year old virgin girl, out to celebrate the holiday with her friends; a group of kids out to pull a prank on their classmate, but find themselves getting it in the end; and a wife who hates Halloween but must contend with her husband's love of the holiday.  In the background of all the stories is a mysterious scarecrow kid, "Sam."

Gay Factor:  Unfortunately no gay characters, but the film's producer, Bryan Singer, is gay and the film's co-star, Anna Paquin is bisexual.
