Nothing is what it seems when a suburban couple learns the dangers of blowing out a Jack-o-Lantern before midnight; four women cross paths with a costumed stalker at a local festival; a group of pranksters goes too far and discovers the horrifying truth buried in a local legend; and a cantankerous old hermit is visited by a strange trick-or-treater with a few bones to pick. Costumes and candy, ghouls and goblins, monsters and mayhem...the tricks and treats of Halloween turn deadly as strange creatures of every varietyhuman and otherwisetry to survive the scariest night of the year.

Ratings and reviews

This was a pretty fantastic horror film. It didn't do anything particularly groundbreaking, but it still managed to put all the part together in the best possible way. This was probably the most enjoyable Horror movie I've watched in years, and I'm on a quest right now to watch all of them... sooo that's saying something.

It seems all the negative reviews didn't get that this is an anthology. Meaning it's a bundle of shorter stories that kind of blend together in a spot or two to make a cohesive whole package. That being said, it's far from the scariest or goriest. But it is the most Halloween. It's one of those films you just watch and get a rush of flavor.

A creepy 4 and a half out of 5. This is a disturbing, well crafted terror that it seems only Dougherty can bring. He did great with Krampus later on. He's defiently great on horror. There are great set pieces in this, like the rock qaurry, and Sam in the film is a true fright. Defiently somewhat of a classic.
