Movie Preview: Trick r' Treat

Here's a little something for horror fans to look forward to...



Director: Michael Dougherty
Writer (WGA): Michael Dougherty (written by)
Release Date: DTBA 2009
Genre: Comedy; Drama; Horror; Thriller

Synopsis: Four interwoven stories that occur on Halloween: An everyday high school principal has a secret life as a serial killer; a college virgin might have just met the one guy for her; a group of teenagers pull a mean prank; a woman who loathes the night has to contend with her holiday-obsessed husband.

Sadly it won't be released at theaters until next year, if at all. It was first slated to hit theaters in 2007, then got bumped from the schedule. Then it was decided that this year would be the year, until it was again shuffled around until it fell off the radar. This just goes to show you that, yes, Hollywood is being run by a pack of mentally and socially handicapped rejects with no sense of what an audience likes anymore. I for one am sick and F'n' tired of watching movies with nothing more to offer than new and creative ways to hack up a body. I'm ready for some good old fashioned ghost stories and horror tales myself, the stuff that used to actually scare me instead of gross me out. And... shock, gasp... they actually have people who can act in this one!
Mark H Harris from about.com's Horror and Suspense blog gave the movie a raving review, which only makes me want to see this even more. You can check out the review here...

Seriously, could you imagine what kind of fun this would be to go see on Halloween?! And to think those idiot dumb asses in Tinsel Town didn't have the common sense to pull their heads out of their overpaid butts long enough to release this in time for Halloween. Morons :-p
