Must Watch: Official Trailer for Mike Dougherty's 'Trick 'r Treat'

After endless delays and hesitation, Warner Brothers has debuted one final trailer for Mike Dougherty's new cult classic horror film Trick 'r Treat, which will sadly go straight-to-DVD in early October (go pre-order it now!). Here's the crazy thing - we first featured a trailer for Trick 'r Treat two years ago, in July of 2007, which you can still see here (it was on the 300 DVD). This thing has been delayed for so long, but I wouldn't hesitate calling it a near masterpiece, as it's absolutely brilliant (read my 10/10 review). One of my quotes ended up in the trailer below, near the end of it, so be sure to check this out and be sure to go see it, too.
Watch the final official trailer for Mike Dougherty's Trick 'r Treat from YouTube:
Trick 'r Treat is both written and directed by Michael Dougherty, who helped write the screenplays for X2 and Superman Returns before making his directorial debut on this. This was originally set to hit theaters in October of 2007, but has been delayed by Warner Brothers ever since, with a few small screenings building buzz. Warner Premiere has now set a straight-to-DVD date of October 6th, although Dougherty has been touring it around with small theatrical screenings. You can find out more info on those over on Facebook.

This looks awesome. If the movie is as good as that trailer im sold. This movie should do really well in oz as we like a good throwback to the classics. Hopefully if it does achieve a bit of cult status it might help revive some more decent horror

I'm with #4 and #8, totally a Creepshow vibe. Multiple stories, comic book... I just hope it's better than Creepshow.

Four final destinations sullied the screen, yet this one won't get any play.

This flick ACTUALLY looks bad ass. I just don't get why WB is sending this straight to DVD when we keep getting the same tired "Halloween", "Final Destination" and "Saw" crap. 🙁

Looks good. I prefer my home theatre over the theatre for a horror anyway. Can't wait

Saw it at Comic-Con this year with about 4000 other people... I great time. Everyone was laughing and seemed to really be enjoying themselves. Definitely one of the best horror movies of recent years. I loved the way the stories played with your mind.

The little pumpkin-headed kid sure looks an AWFUL lot like the little ghost boy in "The Orphanage".

About time!!! Not a fan of the horror genre, but this looks fantastic. What happened to the theatrical release?! Definitely looks like a Halloween classic horror film.

This looks awesome...why in sweet jesus is Warners going straight to DVD? Is it something to do with the financial crisis? How come we get Halloween 2 the remake by Rob Zombie but when something original and actually scary comes across the studio holds onto it like a constipated turd... Speaking of which how does this compare to that other delayed horror movie Paranormal Activity?

over here in Australia we get it on DVD a lil earlier, and I was lucky enough to check out a screener. And yes, it's awesome. But this trailer kind of sells it as a flat-out horror film, which IT IS NOT. It is more like a horror movie spoof - although more along the lines of Drag Me To Hell rather than Scary Movie. It's still nice and gory, but not likely to give you nightmares. The highlight - a demented tribute to The Goonies that goes very wrong.

No Blu-ray option where I live...but this movie ROCKS! Best "Halloween" movie since Sleepy Hollow all those years ago... Buy this, but if not, rent it.
