Line 3: {{quote\|''Poison, drowning, claw, or knife ''So many ways to take a life.'' }} ''[[Trick 'Rr Treat]]'' is an [[Anthology]] comedy/horror movie that was [[Screwed by the Network\|Screwed By The Studio]]. It was produced by [[Bryan Singer]] and directed by Michael Dougherty, and developed from Dougherty's 1996 animated short, ''Season's Greetings''. The conceptual designer was Breehn Burns, co-creator of ''[[Dr. Tran]]''. ''Trick 'R Treat'' was originally slated for a theatrical release in 2007, but was held up until a DVD release in 2009. Set over a single [[All Hallow's Eve\|Halloween]] night (although there is a flashback set on a Halloween thirty years prior), ''Trick 'Rr Treat'' is less interested in plot than it is in the holiday itself: the fears, emotions, atmosphere, and the traditions that have coalesced into what people imagine Halloween is about. == ''Trick 'Rr Treat'' has several subplots, loosely connected, that are the focus of this anthology: == * A young couple is divided by his love and her (Leslie Bibb) hatred of Halloween. * A school principal (Dylan Baker) carries out a double life as a [[Serial Killer]]. Line 15: * A group of kids, inspired by the town legend of the "Halloween Schoolbus Massacre", play a prank that [[Gone Horribly Wrong\|goes horribly wrong]]... * An elderly curmudgeon ([[Brian Cox]]) with a [[Dark and Troubled Past]] attempts to get through the night without acknowledging that it's Halloween. All these stories frequently overlap and share characters, particularly a mysterious trick 'r treater named Sam (pictured). ---- {{tropelist}} ~~'''This movie provides examples of the following:'''~~ * [[Adaptation Expansion]]: From the original short. * [[All Hallow's Eve]]: Of course. Line 35: * [[Children Are Innocent]]: Averted, overall. ** [[Kids Are Cruel]]: Macy and her friends. Charlie also fits. * [[Covers Always Lie]]: Inverted with the [[Blu -Ray]] release as it clearly shows {{spoiler\|Sam's true face}}. * [[Creepy Child]]: Sam, the schoolbus kids, and {{spoiler\|Billy Wilkins}} * [[Deadly Prank]]: {{spoiler\|Macy and her friends pretend to be the undead schoolbus kids to scare Rhonda, who panics and cracks her head against a rock. The trope is subverted when it turns out that Rhonda is still alive, and subsequently inverted, when the real schoolbus kids show up and kill the pranksters.}} Line 112: [[Category:Film]] [[Category:Trick 'r Treat]] [[Category:Cult Classic]]
