''Trick 'R 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.
Line 9:
Set over a single [[All Hallow's Eve|Halloween]] night (although there is a flashback set on a Halloween thirty years prior), ''Trick 'R 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 'R 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]].
