Is there a more iconic Halloween movie than Trick ‘r Treat? Between its adorable icon, Sam, the mischievous spirit guardian of Halloween, its spooky scares, and hilarious laughs, it IS the quintessential movie of the best season. When you put Trick ‘r Treat on and settle in with your cozy blanket, the very essence of Halloween moves through you; you can hear the laughter of trick or treaters, smell that specific scent of Jack ‘O Lanterns in the air, and hear the crisp autumn leaves under your feet. But now, you’re going to be able to capture that feeling and amplify it. Because, for the first time ever, Trick ‘r Treat, newly restored in 4K, is heading back to theaters for a long-awaited nationwide release. Yes, we are so excited to exclusively announce that this October, Trick ‘r Treat will be back in theaters thanks to Legendary Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, Saga Arts, and Fathom Entertainment. Can we get one big “HAPPY HALLOWEEN!” in celebration?
Trick ‘r Treat will be back in movie theaters on October 14 and 16 of this year. And for the very first time, the Halloween classic will be getting a nationwide release in its newly restored, stunning 4K version. For two nights only, you can relive the cult favorite in its most glorious form ever. Die-hard fans and new initiates can spend a delightful Halloween night with Sam, learning all about his rules… And what happens if you don’t follow them. As we said, Trick ‘r Treat delivers an immersive experience, one of nostalgia and terror all wrapped into one. Seeing the movie as it’s meant to be witnessed, on a massive screen with powerful sound, will surely only make that feeling grow.
Plus, if you think Trick ‘r Treat‘s Sam is adorable now, just wait until you see him shine in the theater. There’s a reason why Sam has become one of the top-selling Halloween icons of our nation, and the unofficial mascot of Halloween enthusiasts everywhere. If you love Halloween, you know that Sam’s rules aren’t terror-inducing; they are just common sense.
And if that weren’t enough to tempt you out of the house (but don’t go out alone), if you decide to go and see Trick ‘r Treat in movie theaters, you’ll get a special treat, bonus content from Director Michael Dougherty. Fathom Entertainment shares, “Fans will also be treated to a special featurette where Dougherty revisits the Halloween memories that inspired Trick ‘r Treat, taking us through the evocations that brought the iconic Sam to life. Generation after generation, keeping alive these rituals of indulgence in our deepest fears; our Halloween legends ultimately show how many of us are interconnected by the vibrant & macabre nature of life.”
If you can believe it, the Halloween fun doesn’t stop there. There are no tricks here, only sweet after sweet. If you head to the movie theater to watch Trick ‘r Treat, before the movie begins, you’ll get to experience the very first appearance of Sam in an all-new 4K restoration of Dougherty’s 1996 animated short, Season’s Greetings. Trick ‘r Treat wouldn’t be here without it.
Tom Lucas, Vice President of Studio Relations at Fathom Entertainment, shares of Trick ‘r Treat‘s iconic return to theaters, “Horror fans have long been thirsting for Trick ‘r Treat to take its rightful place back on the big screen and in cinemas nationwide. Fathom is thrilled to bring this classic horror film back in theatres in sparkling 4K with our partners just in time for Halloween. A stellar cast helps make Trick ‘r Treat a frightening cinematic experience fans will not want to miss!”
Just in case you didn’t know, Trick ‘r Treat comes from writer and director Michael Dougherty (Godzilla vs. Kong, Godzilla: King of the Monsters).The movie weaves together “sinister stories set on Halloween night: a high school principal, Dylan Baker (Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3) moonlights as a serial killer; a young virgin’s, Anna Paquin (X-Men franchise) search for the right man turns horrific; ‘Emma’ Leslie Bibb (The White Lotus) and her husband discover the cost of ignoring holiday rituals; and a cantankerous old man, Brian Cox (Succession) faces Sam in a terrifying showdown. Darkly funny, gruesome, and endlessly rewatchable, Trick ’r Treat secures Sam’s place as the true spirit of Halloween.”
We feel like Sam’s secret Halloween rule is that you can’t miss Trick ‘r Treat‘s return to theaters. As mentioned, Trick ‘r Treat will play on the big screen on October 14 and 16. Get your tickets for Trick ‘r Treat now at Fathom Entertainment.com and participating theatre box offices.
