Trick 'r Treat (2007)

Dive into the sinister and darkly humorous world of Trick 'r Treat, written and directed by Michael Dougherty. This anthology film communes with the spirits of classic horror portmanteaus like Creepshow and Tales from the Crypt, weaving together four chilling tales, all taking place during the same fateful Halloween night.

Follow the secretive and disturbing life of a high school principal (Dylan Baker) who leads a double life as a ruthless serial killer; the journey of a young girl (Anna Paquin) looking for love who finds something infinitely more macabre; a group of teenagers playing a prank with disastrous consequences; and an old man (Brian Cox) confronted by Sam, a mischievous trick-or-treater with a terrifying secret.

With its interwoven tales of terror and unforgettable characters, Trick 'r Treat has cemented itself as a Halloween essential, paying loving homage to the golden age of horror comics and 80s creature features with a slick modern style sure to send shivers down the spine of any fright fiend. Get ready for the scariest Halloween of your life - and remember, always check your candy!

Can’t believe I predicted this one. A very fun movie. WB famously buried it due to fallout from working with producer Bryan Singer. Interesting how there are no new special features. It’s just a 4K upgrade of what was on the DVD

So, this is the second WB licensed title that Scream Factory released on Blu-ray that is getting a UHD only release from Arrow. Guess all those Scream Factory WB titles are possibilities for Arrow. (Given some of the MGM titles that they let go, some of the StudioCanal titles they let go, and now these titles getting UHDs from Arrow, plus the two architects behind the line no longer at Shout, makes me wonder how much longer Scream is gong to be around.)
