positive · AI labelView post →Completely slacked on my Halloween movies this year, so I guess I'll try doing some post-holiday movie binging. Trick 'r Treat is a bit special. While it clearly wears its inspirations on its sleeves—the comic book–themed intro and outro segments being a clear nod to the likes of EC Comics and Creepshow—it manages to do something different from other horror anthologies: instead of standalone segments, you have interwoven plots all taking place in the same town on Halloween.
