Watched this last night as part of my Halloween viewing. Its directed by Michael Dougherty, who would later go on to make G:KOTM 2019. He's got a real eye for film design. I really liked the visuals of the movie.

Its a sereis of four somewhat interconnected stories about Halloween night in a small Ohio town. Its decently scary. I've seen scarcer but it is enjoyable. I'd say give it a watch.

I watch this almost every Halloween. A real treat, and super rewatchable. I love Sam.

It's a modern halloween classic with mostly good reviews. Always confusing to see certain movies in the bad movie forum but oh well. Anyway, this kicked off my October viewings this month.

I love this movie! Since I am completely burned out on the "Halloween" film series, this has become my October perennial.

Agreed but I would like to see Halloween Kills though.

I'll get to "Halloween Kills" eventually, but I've seen most of the earlier films so many times that I rarely revisit them nowadays.

I love Trick R Treat and hope that one day the sequel will finally come out. I did enjoy Halloween, until the big plot twist and then it just killed it for me. I'll watch Halloween Kills eventually, but it might be a while. Have you seen the petition to cut the killing of firemen out of the movie?

This movie is nothing short of a modern classic.

saw this about 10 years ago and loved it. just the right balance of almost disney-esque charm, and genuine creeps.

however I rewatched it maybe about 3 years ago and to be honest I found that it dragged a lot more than I remembered. perhaps I just wasn't in the right mood. might have to give it another shot this haloween
