Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures brought director Mike Dougherty horror anthology Trick ‘r Treat (watch it Here) to home video in October of 2009 – and fans almost immediately began asking for a sequel. Fourteen years later, we’re still waiting for Trick ‘r Treat 2 to make it into production. Last year, Dougherty said the sequel is in “very active development“. Now, during a Q&a that was conducted for a screening of Trick ‘r Treat, Dougherty has added that Trick ‘r Treat 2 already has a really great script in place.
The filmmaker told Collider, “We have several drafts of a script. I brought back the same storyboard artist I mentioned before, Simeon Wilkins, so we have a stack of storyboards and a good fat stack of concept art done by Breehn Burns as well. So it’s inching along. I’m hoping to talk to Legendary. They’ve been wonderful,...

It’s Time for Our Annual ‘Trick ‘r Treat 2’ Update; Michael Dougherty Teases a “Really Great Script”
The legend of Trick ‘r Treat has only grown and grown in the years since its original release in 2007, with Michael Dougherty’s seasonal anthology becoming something of a holiday horror classic. Sam is of course at the center of the property as a true Halloween icon, with various toys, costumes and decorations filling up stores like Spirit Halloween every October.
But while the world of Trick ‘r Treat has been expanded upon with various comics, we’ve still never gotten the sequel we’ve been waiting over 15 years for. It’s become an annual tradition to get an update on the status of the project each and every October, with Dougherty revealing at Beyond Fest just last year that Trick ‘r Treat 2 was in “very active development” at the time.
It’s now one year later. And we’re less than a week away from Halloween. Like Santa Claus...

For as much as I love horror and the Halloween season, I am something of a softie at heart, so the Christmas season is the time of year when I really thrive. I love Christmas songs and holiday treats, and I will pretty much watch any and every movie that has some kind of a Yuletide angle to it. That being said, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Michael Dougherty’s Krampus was a film that immediately captured my heart back when it was released in 2015, and it became one of my required viewings every December once it hit home media, ultimately becoming part of our traditional viewings to celebrate the holiday season. And I think that’s something most genre fans have done as well over the years, so I’m not sure that I have to do much to sell you on the film with this...

The Bottleneck Gallery is about to open a new show called Turtles in Time, which celebrates 30 years of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It is co-presented by Nickelodeon and Chogrin, who curated the show (All the cool galleries are having Chogrin curate their shows these days). Chogrin always brings a lot of international artists, and it's fun to see what pop culture touchstones mean to artists from other countries. We have a few pieces to share with you today, but with over 75 artists participating, there was no way to include them all. If you want to see more, you can head over to the event’s tumblr, or if you’re in New York, you can see the show in person when it opens this Friday, September 3. The poster for the show, above, is by artist Glen Brogan, who just finished his own show at the gallery.

I am always wary when the masses of online movie bloggers fall in line for a film. Such was the case for Michael Dougherty's long-delayed Trick 'r Treat, which was slated for a theatrical release as far back as October 2007, but was subsequently shifted to Warner Bros.'s direct-to-dvd label and shuffled onto shelves for a DVD and Blu-ray debut. Of course, when such a scenario takes place the champions of the film cry even louder and a film gets an undeserved hype behind it, or at least a hype the film can't live up to and that's what we have here as the premise of Trick 'r Treat is entertaining enough, but as a film it just doesn't do anything more than make for a decent passing of the time.
Trick 'r Treat, to my knowledge, is the first wholly dedicated Halloween film. I could be wrong, but...
