Trick R Treat - Oct 31, 2008

[quiksilver022]

ComingSoon just gave it a 10/10, which made me search for a trailer, and wow.. This movie looks great! Very atmospheric, creepy trailer, I definitely want to see this! Anyone else?

[Fanible]

I've seen it being called one of the best horror films in years. Unfortunately, for some reason it's had a long limbo phase thanks to some odd decision making on Warner Bro's part. I wasn't sure if it was getting a theatrical release or not. It was a long time ago that I read that it was probably just going straight to DVD, but that could have changed.

[the elmo zombie]

yeah i really hope for a theatrical release and cannot wait to see this but theres no way this thing hits theaters next week. its likely it will be leaked online soon and then warner will just slap it a dvd release

[FranklinTard]

i had heard a lot about this a while back... if its touted as being so good why wait?

[steintym]

Just checked out a trailer, looks pretty cool. I'm sure I'll be checking it out. I do hope it gets a theatrical release and not straight to DVD.

[Matrix_Fan]

Jesus, I saw this movie May of last year. I doubt anything has changed since the cut I saw was pretty much done, aside from music. I think the 10 out of 10 is a little overboard, an 8 or a 9 would work though, since I thought the flick was really damn good. I'm surprised WB is pretty much dumping the film into obscurity, I really think it could be a new horror classic.

[unity768]

heard good things..but heard bad things regarding its handlers (release date? wtf?)

[quiksilver022]

There was a poster in my Cineplex saying "October 31" .. So I think it might be limited release on Halloween? I don't know, I just know that I want to see it!

[Tzarinna]

I think that they're just having screenings in random places. :mad:

I really want to see this.

[DVDAVE]

Yeah they are basically having random screenings. As far as I am aware that Waner Brothers now wants to release the film sometime in 2009. I do not understand studios sometimes. I really want to check it out.

[unity768]

heres a really positive review http://www.horror.com/php/article-2147-1.html

[Daniel]

i have been anticipating this movie for about a year. i am kind of irritated that i still can't see it. hope something happens.

[jbailey84]

saw the trailer on youtube and looks pretty interesting.

ive seen a toy of that sam charcter and was wondering who he was from.

[SnoBorderZero]

It looks pretty good, though the one thing I'd like to point out concerning the rave reviews are that the majority are from horror sites, which needless to say, give out great scores to really terrible movies (I believe they account for the only positive reviews of Saw V for example). The multiple storyline aspect is extremely interesting though and I'm very disappointed that there isn't a set date with this. We could've used a horror movie like this this year.

[jbailey84]

yea i watched 300 last night and the trailer is shown before the movie.
i read the storyline is like Creepshow, has 4-5 different stories but they seem to link together with Sam.

i really hope it isn't a straight to dvd release.

[Tolkien]

i have been anticipating this movie for about a year. i am kind of irritated that i still can't see it. hope something happens.
I gave up on this a while ago. Month after month, now year after year. Its annoying now.

I mean, interesting story[s], good cast, Bryan Singer, how hard is it to market?

[jbailey84]

and the poster with Sam looked cool

[Daniel]

i had a dream about this movie fairly recently.

must ... see ......

[Daniel]

sigh

[jbailey84]

really :(

ShockTillYouDrop reader iangibb2005 has pointed us to a new extended trailer for Michael Dougherty's long-delayed horror anthology Trick 'R Treat, which ends with an announcement that it will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray this October, just in time for Halloween. We've been informed that there will be more details about the release in June, though it's not yet clear whether the movie might get a theatrical release sometime before October.

[Matrix_Fan]

Bout friggin time. I've been wanting to see this sucker again since I saw it in 2007. Yeesh.

[fast1]

lol why do you want to see him?http://photosnag.com/img/3322/n09x0302vnsn/clear.gif

[jbailey84]

Bout friggin time. I've been wanting to see this sucker again since I saw it in 2007. Yeesh.

you're lucky to have seen it on the big screen.

[Matrix_Fan]

Yeah, this was definitely worth seeing on the big screen. Shame WB is unceremoniously dumping it onto dvd. At least it's also coming out on Blu Ray. Hopefully, it has some great bonus features.

[jbailey84]

i wish this had came out last year. would have been better than that suckfest Saw V

[Tolkien]

I gave up on this a long time ago. What has it been, year and a half, two years waiting now? And now I only get to see it on DVD? That blows... :(

[FranklinTard]

meh i wasn't gonna go see it in the theaters anyway. glad it gets released.

[jbailey84]

yea its better that its coming out on DVD than nothing.

[Daniel]

wait, what?

what is this news you speak of?! DONT TEASE ME!

[jbailey84]

[badbiology35]

I saw this film at LA Scream Feast!!!

Trick r' Treat is one great horror film!!!

A 10 out of 10!!!!

[jbailey84]

well you're one of the lucky few to have seen it.

some are comparing it to those who have seen BigFoot or a UFO, few have seen it, many won't.

[Escape]

well you're one of the lucky few to have seen it.

some are comparing it to those who have seen BigFoot or a UFO, few have seen it, many won't.
lmao!

Like everyone else, doubt creeps in my head as well. And I've been waiting it's release for as long as the next person.

Anyways, I'm going to hope your link a couple posts above is right this time though cause without hope.........all is lost. http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r49/Escape_bucket/Album 2/1-33.gif

[Justin]

Maybe this movie doesn't actually exist....

[Matrix_Fan]

So I guess that movie I saw nearly two years ago was just a wonderful dream. ;)

[Justin]

That's not completely out of the realm of possibility.

[Matrix_Fan]

You just might be right.

sweet!! Austin!!

[Neverending]

It's about time!

[jbailey84]

[Daniel]

I live in Austin!!!
How do I see this movie? I will go research now, but if any of you know offhand, tell me what you know.

[jbailey84]

i live in Abilene and I plan on attending that Fest in Austin

[quiksilver022]

Jesus why can't this movie just get released already!? I've never felt so confident in a horror movie before. Awesome trailer, and judging by early reviews and impressions, it deserves a wide release.

[EnderDeschain]

You know, I haven't seen such positive buzz for a horror flick in quite some time, especially having gone on as long as it has. Midnight Meat Train had a sorta similar trajectory, but I've heard even better stuff about this one. It really is surprising that they ain't releasing it to the theaters, with the ass-ton of ridiculous junk that gets thrown out there. I bet if they put this out in October it would kill, at least on opening weekend, with all the anticipation it's built up. Maroons, I tells ya, maroons run Hollywood.

[jbailey84]

this would probably destroy the Saw movies from word of mouth

[Apple Pie]

So when will it be released on DVD again?

[jbailey84]

October

[Daniel]

getting closer

[jbailey84]

yea really.

[Daniel]

Going nuts. Not looking like I will be able to go to the screening here in Austin.
: (

[EnderDeschain]

Holy crud, I'm glad you said that or I'd have never even realized there was a screening in Austin. I just looked up that Fantasticfest thing, that looks pretty groovy. Too bad VIP tickets are sold out. It says if you buy a regular ticket for $150 you might not necessarily get to see the movies you want to see, which ****in blows for that much. It does look swell, though, I think I might go. If anyone else is, that would cinch it for me.

Oh yeah, thread topic. I'm still quite looking forward to this movie, too.

[jbailey84]

yea i read the same thing about the tickets for Austin :mad: hopefully one or a few of the theaters there will show it. i'll be moving back down to San Antonio, so it's always a nice drive to Austin.

[horrorfan81]

anyone know of any screenings in california?? seems like they seem to be everywhere else EXCEPT the west coast!

and is anyone doing the fan art contest at the official website? they're giving out playstation 3's!! ! too bad i dont know how to draw :\ good luck to anyone doin it tho www.trtmovie.com

dvd cover art

[jbailey84]

the best halloween film of the last 30 years, and it couldnt get its deserved run in the theaters

[the elmo zombie]

odd that my most anticipated movie of the last two years is a stv release....

[Matrix_Fan]

That cover....it looks familiar.....too familiar....

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51DMYL3wBvL._SS500_.jpg AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

At least Trick R' Treat rocks.

[FranklinTard]

leaked.

edit: wow i liked this a good bit actually. creep show style almost.

[unity768]

I'll try and write a review tomorrow night. Had tons of fun watching this.

[carnage4u]

I enjoyed this movie. It was many stores at once, while still doing a good job of being 1 complete movie.

[Myerszilla]

It's a great movie, I recommend all horror fans to get their hands on it. It's truly a great horror movie, likely in the top 10 of the best horror movies of the decade.

[Deexan]

The only thing truly horrendous about this was its inability to illicit any fear from me or the person I was watching it with, who is the most easily scared person I know.

[Ewok Droppings]

I didn't really think it was a horror movie as much as it was a fun Halloween movie.

[FranklinTard]

yea i didn't see it as a horror movie really, unless you count their loud noise scares.

[jbailey84]

I didn't really think it was a horror movie as much as it was a fun Halloween movie.

ditto

i really enjoyed it though. Man Anna Paquin looked hot as Little Red Riding Hood :D

still would have been cool to have seen it on the big screen.
