Trailer For Arrow’s 4K Restoration of The Classic Halloween Horror Film TRICK ‘R TREAT — GeekTyrant

Director Michael Dougherty’s Halloween classic Trick ‘r Treat is getting a new 4K release thanks to Arrow Video, which recently did a restoration of the film, and you can watch the new trailer for the film below.

This is my favorite Halloween-themed film of all time and this is a copy of the film that fans will want to get their hands on!

Dive into the sinister and darkly humorous world of Trick ‘r Treat. 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!
