Ah, Trick ‘r Treat, the most modern Halloween classic I can think of. At a time when the horror and Halloween market was already so oversaturated, even the big dogs were struggling to find their audience amidst reboots and resequels, along came Trick ’r Treat, it’s lead killer Sam just swaggering in like he owned the holiday. It was a breath of fresh air while simultaneously working as a love letter to older horror. Basically, it had it’s Halloween themed cake and ate it too.
