Warner Premiere’s long delayed debut of Trick ‘R Treat starring Anna Paquin, Dollhouse’s Tahmoh Penikett and a robust ensemble cast is coming to Blu-ray Disc and DVD on October 6, a couple weeks earlier than originally expected.
Trick ‘R Treat will ring Blu-ray’s door dressed up with a 2.4:1 1080p transfer and 5.1 Dolby TrueHD audio.
Though the DVD edition is being released the same day, Warner is clearly playing favorites with Blu-ray by giving the high-def format all the cool supplements:
* Trick ‘R Treat: Season’s Greetings – Animated short with optional commentary by Michael Dougherty
* How Did Many of our Scary Traditions Start? – The lore and legends of Halloween (BD exclusive)
* Commentary with director Michael Dougherty (BD exclusive)
* Additional scenes (BD exclusive)
* Special effects comparison (BD exclusive)
* BD-Live content (BD exclusive)
The movie follows five interwoven tales set on Halloween night: a suburban couple learns the consequences of blowing out a jack-o-lantern before midnight, a high school principal moonlights as a vicious serial killer, a young virgin whose quest for that someone special takes a gruesome turn, a group of teens carry out a cruel prank with disastrous consequences, and a cantankerous old man battles a mischievous trick-or-treating demon.
I just watched this much anticipated movie and it is quite good! Anna is cast in a small, unexpected yet, brilliantly cast role. She was excellent …Anna is just being Anna. IMO, neither Blue State nor Trick R Treat were properly marketed because they are both hidden cinema gems!
