I can't even explain in words how much I love this film. If you haven't seen
Trick 'r Treat yet, GO TO THE VIDEO STORE AND RENT IT NOW. It is the quintessential Halloween film, even more so than
Halloween, which sounds like blasphemy, but
Halloween isn't really about the holiday itself. It's about a guy who happens to be doing bugfuck crazy things on Halloween night. This is all about the holiday of All Hallow's Eve (the Samhain stuff even gets a shoutout! Score!), its traditions, and what happens to you when you break those traditions. Basically, an adorable little trick or treater with a bag over his face and a sack full of cats will FUCK YOU UP.
I only picspammed my favorite scenes from the film, which are the opening scene with Leslie Bibb and the Anna Paquin story. If you don't want to be spoiled, stay away. There's a huge twist in the Anna story that needs to be kept under wraps. Also if you don't want to know what happens if you blow out your jack 'o lantern before midnight on Halloween, stay out.
