Trick R Treat : The Film WB Doesn't Want You To See

I've been hearing about the Sam 6inch figure hitting store shelves, and while I don't have one
(I purchased the deluxe edition "Doll" for my best friend for Samhain, and it rocks !), I thought
it would be cool to do a little entry on the film Sam comes from, the long shelved Trick 'R Treat.

This film has been finished since 2006, and was written and directed by Michael Dougherty and produced by X-Men director Brian Cox (who also has an acting cameo). The film was initially planned for a October, 2oo7 release,that however did not happen. It was again purposed for October 2008, and still didn't make it to theaters. No explanations. Even the director doesn't
seem to know why. Or if he does, he's not saying.

The movie is supposed to be an anthology of four stories that intertwine and tell the legends
of Halloween. Sam is reportedly the key to linking all the stories together. I for one am
dying to see this movie, as the design for Sam is amazing. The intricate little elements of
his footy pajamas. For a good look at Sam, here's the trailor for the film, originally released
on the DVD for 300



I wonder why the WB would shell out the money to make a film, only to shelve it for two years.
Speculation is that one of the four stories in the anthology is about the death of children, and
it's making them uneasy. However, if they gave the script a green lite, why complain about that
now ?

The film has played to audiences of few, at a few horror conventions, all garnering rave reviews.

The film stars such top notch actors as Academy award winning, Golden Globe recipient Anna Paquin (X-Men,Tv's True Blood) Leslie Bibb (TV's Popular,Iron Man) and Lauren Lee Smith
(Tv's The L-Word, Art School Confidential). Hopefully, with Paquin's recent Golden Globe win,
they will choose to release this movie, either to the masses via theaters or even direct to DVD.
