However, there are some movies that are meant to stand alone. I had mixed emotions to hearing this news, as I feel that, if done correctly, a sequel could actually work. It was recently announced that Trick R Treat 2 is in development, to be written and directed by Michael Dougherty. However, without spoiling anything, those questions are put to rest by the end.

At any rate, the next few weeks here at The Puritan Post will be a mystery grab bag akin to that of trick-or-treating itself. That is, if the frugal head of our company Puritan Pictures, Pat Collier, will finally, for once, spring for an actual movie ticket for me. Some you may have heard of, some you may not have.

This deserves a 10/10 for me, very fun film, I recommend it to anyone. I was lost as to what was going on the entire movie and I love how it just all came together in the final minutes of the film. This is the first film I have ever seen that has made me laugh and then get scred just a moment after. It had alot of comedy along with alot of terror throughout. It set a new standard for Horror and for Halloween films. Why is their no reviews for this film?
