Happy Halloween, everyone. For real this time. Now we have finally reached the last movie of this crazy month. Are tu excited? I know I am. So let’s talk about the Halloweeniest cine out there, otherwise known as Hallowee- Oh, wait. I already reviewed Halloween… Well, don’t worry. I got something even better. Something even más Halloweeny. And that movie is the underrated horror movie, Trick ‘r Treat.





Now, is Trick ‘r Treat better than Halloween. I can’t say for sure. However, what I can say is that Trick ‘r Treat definitely feels más like a halloween movie (The holiday, not the actual horror movie). Trick ‘r Treat doesn’t really follow one group of characters in one big story, and instead follows four short stories all set within the small town of Warren Valley, Ohio (There are way too many horror cine set in Ohio. It’s like it was meant to be.). Anyway, the movie follows four short stories, and shows what happens to unlucky people who do not celebrate o respect the halloween tradition. por that, I mean, you’d better celebrate halloween o a group of creepy ghost children will come and murder you. So, why don’t we talk about a few of these short stories that the movie talks about and see what could happen, shall we?





The first story follow Principal Wilkins, a seemingly kind man who enjoys the feeling of Halloween, and has a talk with the local ruffian, who steals dulces and smashes pumpkins. Probably the least scariest one of them all, but still a good one. It’s just the least interesting. siguiente is the story of three teens, who go to the lake to go and explore the lake where it is rumored that eight kids died por drowning in the bus. The siguiente follows a girl who is told por her sister and two friends to lose her “virginity”, while all the while a vampire stalks the town. And the final story follows a man who hates Halloween, being terrorized por a group of cuchillo wielding children… Easily the best one of the bunch. The entire movie isn’t really much of a movie. It’s más of a series of short films. However, I really do like this movie, and I can assure tu of one reason as to why the movie is good… The feeling of Halloween.





halloween is EVERYWHERE in Trick ‘r Treat. I mean, with a name like that, tu can expect there to be some sort of relation to the holiday. There are jack-o-lanterns lit everywhere, people are all wearing costumes, people getting violently murdered por ghost children. It’s what you’d expect from a halloween movie. Well, maybe not the last part, but still. I saved this movie for last for those very reasons. halloween is más popular, yes, but there wasn’t very much halloween decorations until the end. Trick ‘r Treat, however, is nothing but Halloween, until the very end, and it all looks incredible and is just amazing to watch, especially around the halloween season. Sure, tu could watch the movie at any time, buy the DVDs, and help give this movie más money that it deserves, but it feels so much better and kinda right to watch this movie during the halloween season. And not to mention, the one character that is very recognizable. The little scarecrow ghost boy, Sam.





Even if tu have never watched Trick ‘r Treat (Which I’m assuming tu haven’t), tu may have at least seen this character at one point in your life. This little killer is the poster boy of this movie. Sam is the main boy who is part of the group of the killer ghosts kids, and he comes for tu if tu do not want to follow the traditions of Halloween. If tu do anything against the halloween tradition, like smash pumpkins, have sex with others, o just in general hate everything about Halloween, Sam the killer scarecrow boy who can climb up the walls like Spiderman and place dulces and razor blades on the floor for tu to step on will hunt tu down and kill tu no matter what. Honestly though, this kid is kinda creepy. He doesn’t speak, he doesn’t mostrar his face, and that burlap sack is way scarier than when Jason wore it in the early years of Friday the 13th. Not to mention, with his ghost abilities, instead of doing generic stuff like jump scare the audience into submission, he uses it to bend the environment to harm others, like get people pulled into the water, o place razor blades on the floor, probably from the help of the other ghost kids. And every single story has Sam in it. Even when he doesn’t even do the killings, he’s there. Hell, he doesn’t even try to kill anyone until the near end of the movie, but when he does, it’s very creepy. So, don’t hate on Halloween. Hate on another holiday. Like Christmas. Yeah, fuck you, Christmas. Stop telling me to be happy, bring joy to the world, and playing those cheesy songs on the radio.





Trick ‘r Treat is the perfect film for Halloween. It has everything, from the colors, to the autumn leaves, to the jack-o-lanterns, to the creepy killers. It’s got everything. Sure, the movie did do a bit poorly in theaters since it didn’t air much, just barely getting it’s money back at the box office. But, por some miracle, the movie was able to make enough money to get a sequel, Trick ‘r Treat 2, which is being worked on as we speak. Please let this be good, Hollywood. The creator still works on other horror movies, like Krampus, a navidad horror movie. Maybe I’ll review that during navidad time. Maybe a bunch of other cine as well……………… Anyway, Trick ‘r Treat is a timeless classic, and is a movie well recommended for Halloween. If tu amor Halloween, than I assure tu that this is the movie for you. Take care.
