Writer of Superman Returns & X2 Mixes Fun with Fear in Critically-Acclaimed Feature-Length Directorial Debut Burbank, CA. Prepare to scream and laugh this October 6th as Michael Dougherty’s Trick 'r Treat arrives on Blu-ray and DVD in time for Halloween.
From producer Bryan Singer (The Usual Suspects, Valkyrie, Superman Returns) and writer/director Michael Dougherty (Superman Returns, X2), Trick r Treat is a creepy, darkly comic celebration of the scariest night of the year: Halloween. The film’s ensemble cast includes Academy Award winner Anna Paquin (The Piano, HBO’s True Blood), Brian Cox (The Bourne Identity, X2), Leslie Bibb (Iron Man, Talladega Nights), Dylan Baker (Spiderman 2, Spiderman 3) and Tahmoh Penikett (Battlestar Galactica [TV Show]).
In the tradition of Creepshow and Tales from the Crypt comes five interwoven tales set on Halloween night: a suburban couple learns the consequences of blowing out a jack-o-lantern before midnight, a high school principal moonlights as a vicious serial killer, a young virgin whose quest for that someone special takes a gruesome turn, a group of teens carry out a cruel prank with disastrous consequences, and a cantankerous old man battles a mischievous trick-or-treating demon.
Trick 'r Treat is a collection of creepy stories that mixes fun with fear, candy with poison, and laughter with screams.
