This movie was everything I hoped for. In the tradition of horror movie anthologies such as Tales from the Darkside, The House That Dripped Blood, and Creepshow. The director weaves a delightful Halloween tale that intermingles the lives of several of the members of a small mid western town. Each story is separate but equally gruesome. You get so much in this movie, a great ghost story, a werewolf story, a serial killer story, and a story about Sam the interesting character from the front of the movie who becomes an unofficial Halloween mascot. With what has now become a tradition of a new Saw movie every Halloween, it saddens a true horror movie fan that Trick'r Treat went straight to dvd, because I have to believe audiences would have gobbled it up like a box of Good and Plenty. If you want a terrifying movie this isn't it, if you want buckets of gore you wont find it here, if you want a smart, sometimes funny, sometimes creepy, mood heavy tribute to the Halloween season, buy this movie because you will watch every Hallowen from now on.

Entertaining but a bit long winded
This movie had a great story it just took a bit long to tell it. Watch it in parts and you'll probably enjoy it a little more. If you like the Creepiness that Burton infused into Christmas in his Nightmare Before, you'll probably enjoy this movie but not nearly as much.

Amazing Mario side scroller
I love this game because it's like Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3 for the original NES. It's like a few kids like myself who grew up in the 80's went back and re-imagined Mario how we wish it could have been way back then. Simply put this game caused me to finally break down and buy a Wii, because my friend's son got one first and I kept going over his house to play it. In a world where almost everyone who plays games like Call of Duty, shooting each other to death, it's great to realize you can still have fun saving Princess Toadstool!
