Five interwoven stories that occur on the same block, on the same night.
It’s Halloween night in Warren Valley, Ohio. Emma blows out a Jack-o-Lantern in front of her home despite the remark of her husband Henry.
Earlier that evening, Laurie buys a Little Red Riding Hood costume with her sister and two girlfriends and they invite some guys for a party.
Meanwhile, the glutton Charlie destroys many Jack-o-Lanterns on the street. When he arrives at the house of the high school principal Steven, the boy discovers how much the disturbed man respects the dead and the traditions of Halloween.
Just around the corner, four teenagers invite the outcast Rhonda to join them in their journey to an abandoned rock quarry where a tragic accident involving a school bus filled with eight troubled children happened thirty years ago. They play a prank on Rhonda, but when mean Marcy blows out the last Jack-o-Lantern, they need the support of Rhonda to escape.
Is Trick r Treat scary? No. Besides the opening scene, this is not a “scary” movie. Is it entertaining? I think so.
This film has a Tales from the Crypt vibe running throughout the show. It’s a little creepy, but not enough to make you jump. What I like best is that the storytellers take the time to show how all the stories are connected.
