Equally funny and frightening, Trick 'r Treat captures the spirit of Halloween through four intertwined stories set on the same block. Horny virgins, homicidal school principals, crotchety old men, nosy kids, and a sack-hooded hellraiser named Sam rub shoulders on All Hallows Eve, occasionally running afoul of the night’s traditions. This loving homage to such anthologies as Tales from the Crypt boasts superb production values and a solid cast including Anna Paquin, Brian Cox and Dylan Baker.  - American Cinematheque

Preceded by "Season’s Greetings" (Dir. Michael Dougherty, 1996, 4 min, DCP)

On a late Halloween night, a young trick-or-treater on the hunt for candy discovers the dangers of staying out past midnight. Written and directed by Michael Dougherty (Trick ‘r Treat, Krampus, Godzilla: King of the Monsters), "Season’s Greetings" is the original animated short film that introduced the world to Sam, the mysterious trick-or-treater who would later become a modern horror icon. Created using traditional hand-drawn animation methods, the film unfolds like a dark holiday fable: playful, eerie, and quietly unforgiving. Now restored in 4K with remastered 5.1 audio for its 30th Anniversary, "Season’s Greetings" preserves the charm of its original 16mm presentation while inviting audiences to experience Sam as he first appeared.
