The imagery, strong stories (in spite of not meeting their full potential), filming, acting and overall presentation were simply stellar. Definitely had a great throwback feel to the 80's horror movies for me. I see the Creepshow vibe in it (and that's a GOOD thing) but by no means get the Quentin Tarantino comparison used earlier.This was NOT some gritty, f-bomb ridden gorefest it was in fact a SOLID movie. Instead of using gross-outs over scares, "trailer trash" dialogue over good writing and CGI (at least the over-use of) instead of creativity this movie relied on tried and true fundamentals circa those found in classic horror movies from the '80s...the decade that (arguably) was the genre's finest. My personal favorite stories from Trick 'r Treat were The School Bus Massacre and The Virgin (GREAT TWIST on this one). Meet Sam was a cool entry as well and tied things together nicely.I believe Trick 'r Treat will become a yearly Halloween favorite that will be seen over and over again as a staple of the holiday/season on the networks.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndby the tarantino comparison, what i meant was the stories all mixed and the characters coming up in all the other stories. like grindhouse: deathproof/planet terror. cool idea, but a obvious rip off. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":tongue:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" /> mike
