A Part of Music Box of Horrors: Dawn of the Drive-In Presented by Shudder 

There’s something special about a horror movie that actually takes place on Halloween (they’re surprisingly hard to come by!), and Trick ‘r Treat captures the spirit of the season better than most. A breakthrough hit for director Michael Dougherty, Trick ‘r Treat stars Anna Paquin, Bryan Cox, Dylan Baker, and Rochelle Aytes in four interwoven tales of terror that all connect through the character of Sam, an otherworldly trick-or-treater with orange footie pajamas and a burlap sack on his head. In the 13 years since its debut, Trick ‘r Treat has grown from a word-of-mouth cult film into a bona fide phenomenon, with Sam emerging as a mascot for all those who truly love Halloween and hold it in their hearts year ‘round.
