Trick ‘r Treat lingered in limbo for two years before finally
being released on DVD this October. The long wait helped build
anticipation amongst horror fans, though many may be disappointed now

that gory and even less scary, but it’s fun and the anthology structure

is a love letter to Halloween, and how much you like the film will
depend on how much you like the holiday it’s based on.
