Editorial Reviews:
Wizard Magazine
“The best Halloween film of the last 30 years.”Sammuel Zimmerman, Fangoria
“We have a new classic on our hands.”Fangoria
“No film since John Carpenter’s HALLOWEEN has captured the creepy spirit of the holiday.”Andrew Kasch, Dread Central
“Trick ‘r Treat is the film that horror fans have been waiting for – the antidote to every insipid remake, sequel and over hyped “holy grail” we’ve had to suffer through in recent years.”Dustin Putnam, themovieboy.com
“Twisted, violent, tense, and blissfully maniacal… One of the most handsome, lushly detailed horror features in years. Trick ‘r Treat is destined to put the most sour of souls in the Halloween spirit.”Product Description
The doorbell rings, the cry goes out: Trick ‘R Treat! But, wait. What’s actually going on during this ghostly All Hallows Eve? Something eerie and unexpected. Something splattered and spooky. Something that brings ghouls, vampires and werewolves into the night. Answer the door – a shocking surprise awaits. From producer Bryan Singer (director of X-Men and Superman Returns) and writer-director Michael Dougherty (co-scripter of X2 and Superman Returns) comes a multitale bag of wicked yarns, four cleverly interlocked stories built on Shocktober admonitions like always check the candy and don’t extinguish the jack-o-lantern before midnight. So answer the door now: Experience horror made for today’s fright fan. DVD Features: “Trick ‘R Treat: Season’s Greetings” with optional commentary by Director Michael Dougherty

The low-budget horror film weaves four stories that take place on Halloween night. The film languished in distribution hell for a few years until festival screenings and film blogs helped resurrect it.
Per SciFiWire October 6th is the release date:
…Confirming what director Michael Dougherty told us at Comic-Con, Warner has announced that his Trick ‘r Treat movie will drop on DVD and Blu-ray on Oct. 6; the Blu-ray will feature Dougherty’s commentary, a “Season’s Greetings” animated short film, “Trick ‘r Treat: The Lore and Legends of Halloween,” additional scenes and special effects comparisons….
