I dont think the situation of her wanting to take down the decorations ASAP was all the ridiculous, it was obvious (and well stated) that she hated Halloween and knew if she didn't do it they would still be up when her mother arrived the next day.
Anyways, loved this movie so much. Would be up for properly done sequels.

I'm afraid I also found this move very dull, and waiting for it to end.
I had such high hopes based upon the reviews here which may have been the biggest problem. I'll give it another viewing in a few weeks, but overall was very disappointed I'm afraid.

Decided to watch this tonight. I really liked it but can see how you feel but having said that; since you were expecting "so much more" which in my opinion, is a statement that absolutely no film will EVER meet....watch it again. I know I need to before I give a more solid opinion about the film.

Sam was def my fav part of the movie. I didn't think it was great, but pretty good. I went back and watched some of it again...and appreciated the connections between the storylines more...and the production values are very good on it. For me, the kids paying respects to the school bus tragedy was the weakest story, and I guessed the identity of the bus driver right away (and I'm not that smart, movies usually fool me) Other than that, Dylan Baker showing up as the other character didn't work for me at all... I wasn't convinced. Anyone else feel the same?
If the director really was up for sequels he shouldn't have killed off so many characters I thought... but other that... give me "Sam: the movie" and I'll be happy.

I need to watch more of Dylan Baker. I can only remember him as the pedo guy from Happiness. So when he started talking to the kid I thought: "Oh no! Happiness again!".
And I actually liked his story.

My guess is a sequel would be another anthology with different stories. No need for returning characters with that path.

With all the buzz on this ... could this be the first movie released direct-to-video to get a theatrical sequel? (And before you go there, don't mention High School Musical.)

This film only has buzz within circles of horror fanboys and movie fanatics (basically just us).
Ask anyone outside of those circles if they've even heard of this movie, people will just look at you with a confused glare on their face.

No chance in hell. If there's a sequel to this, it'll most likely be a much cheaper production and go direct-to-video.

I thought this movie was wonderful. About as perfect a Halloween movie as you could ask for.
I liked a few of the stories better than others, with the School Bus story standing head and shoulders above everything else. This is the kind of movie that would be great to watch as a halloween party is dying down, or just to watch to get you in the mood for the season.

wow, i cant believe how many ppl are hating on this movie and are "disappointed" in it. This was better than any of the crappy horror movies that have come out in the past few years (possibly longer). I can easily put this in my top 5 of horror movies.
I heard about the sequel and am already looking forward to it. Hopefully that movie doesnt get put on the shelf like this did.

I think this movie is not your typical horror movie and is a bit too complex for most people.

Great Halloween flick. I had a lot of fun watching this. Reminded me a lot of Tales From the Crypt. Good stuff.

I finally got around to seeing this last night. I LOVE the way this movie captures the spirit of Halloween, particularly the three 'ages' of Halloween fun: kids trick-or-treating, teens playing pranks, and adults partying. The school bus story was my favorite of the bunch, and I actually think it could have worked as a standalone feature.
I love the Sam character and the idea behind what he represents, but I hated the

Trick 'r Treat wins the award for Most Bungled Handling Of A Film, Ever, by a major studio.
Warner Bros sits on it for years and then dumps it on dvd, presumably because there's no interest.
Now, two weeks before Halloween, there's not a copy of it to be found (all the stores near me sold out in a week, and it's oos at most online sites), because they underestimated the demand.
Good one, WB.

I got my Sam several months ago using another gift card (Indiana Jones I think) and it is really cool. However, it is shameful that they added the code to the package if these were no longer available.

Did anyone buy Trick r' Treat on Blu-Ray that isn't going to use the $25 Gift code for the 15" Sam figure? I would be greatly appreciative if I could get a code from someone. I don't have a Blu-Ray player yet, but I really want to order the Sam figure from Sideshow Collectibles. Send a PM if you have one. Thanks.
Unless I missed something?

Definitely my favorite part of the movie. Dylan Baker is the man. I thought Trick 'r Treat was pretty good, but I cant say I loved it.
