Trick Or Treats On Halloween
Happy Halloween from Retro Slashers! I’ll be celebrating all weekend – because one day a year just isn’t enough. The Michael Myers flicks are the defaults to fall back on, but round this time of year I find solace in alternatives like the late Gary Graver’s Trick Or Treats (1982 – not to be confused with the 1986 heavy metal horror romp). Like 99.% of my favorite movies, a movie typically trampled on even by the genre-enlightened, it has an all-star cast, a sense of pure fun, and a near real-time pace for the progression of All Hallows Eve.
Hmm… Never heard of this one.
I have 2 VHS of this one. The concept of the film was good, I enjoyed it but it was filmed WAY too dark. There are some things that don’t make sense in the screenplay but I’m willing to overlook it because I like the film’s atmosphere. I’m hoping a DVD will come to light but I’m not holding my breath

Just wanted to post that New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles is playing The Stepfather on Sat. at midnight!
If I remember correctly you spend a lot of time just watching the chunky kid play pranks on the babysitter. I do remember Carradine and his totally 80’s shiny-ass suit/ponytail combo.
I was surprised to find out that it was [R]. I remember it being so tame that I thought it must have been made for TV. ‘Course it has been 3 grips since I’ve seen it. In fact, I think I’ll comb the house for it right now…
