I have been waiting a long time for a horror film to come out with an original plot, and cinematography that reminded me of how Halloween used to be growing up. Finally, to my surprise I was introduced to the film Trick ‘r Treat by Michael Dougherty. The film was inspired by the directors short film “Season’s Greetings”, which was based on a creepy little character named Sam. Originally slated for a 2007 release, the film was pushed back for various reasons and eventually came out straight to DVD in 2009. Since its release, fans and critics alike have praised the movie for its originality and visual appeal. It remains one of the only modern horror films that can take me back to when I was a kid getting ready for my favorite season/holiday of the year.
