Michael Dougherty, co-writer of X2: X-Men United and Superman Returns, stepped behind the camera last year for Trick 'r Treat opening, appropriately, on October 5th via Warner Bros. Now, the fledgling filmmaker has presented a web teaser poster for his film on his MySpace page, setting the chilly tone for what's to come and harkening back to his early mischievous animated efforts.

In the film, four divergent stories (think Go) advocate why the seemingly fun traditions on All Hallows' Eve need to be upheld. Trick 'r Treat centers on the denizens of one small town who are trying to "survive the scariest night of the year." Anna Paquin (the "X-Men" trilogy), Ronny Cox (The Ring), Dylan Baker (Spider-Man 2) and Leslie Bibb (Midnight Meat Train) are just some of the stars who make up the film's ensemble.

I dunno about this, it may be my vendetta against bryan singer that is making me not think this is gunna be good

but its appears to a horror movie with an actual original twist to it, so i am game
 
I thought this was a redo of the Gene Simmons/Ozzy flick Trick or Treat. Looks good! Hopefully this'll be another great horror without topless teens and all that b.s.
 
That's his new myspace page, he released that photo of the kids on the bus on his original myspace page months ago. I am impressed by Mike, and I love that teaser poster.

AICN EXCLUSIVE! New Image From TRICK ’R TREAT!

Mike Dougherty is, it’s safe to say, a big Tim Burton fan.

And I don’t mean that as a knock. I think Mike’s got a twisted sensibility that is all his own, but he strikes me as a guy who saw Tim Burton’s success and thought, “Oh, thank god... there’s room for me in this business.” Mike’s a cartoonist, and his macabre drawings have a hint of Edward Gorey, a touch of Charles Addams, a dash of Tim Burton. He loves drawing monsters and pumpkins and creepy crawlies in ways that are one part scream, one part laugh.

Can he do the same with a feature film? That’s certainly what Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures are hoping with the release this October of TRICK ‘R TREAT, a film that’s been described as “GO, but with supernatural elements.” Four stories, all taking place on on Halloween night, all intermingle with a cast that includes Dylan Baker, Brian Cox, Leslie Bibb, and Quinn Lord.

There are a few images from the film online now, including the film’s creeeeeeeeepy teaser poster if you go by Mike’s MySpace page, but we’ve got an exclusive one for you today.

’m sure we’ll have a lot to say about this one before it hits in October, but for now, enjoy what looks like a shot from Tim Burton’s THE SWEET HEREAFTER.
 
Just saw that illustration on his page. That's great stuff.

I am excited about this one.

I saw this months ago, but it's now on his Trick R Treat Myspace page...
 
so cant wait to see this, ive been waiting for so long!!
 
Dougherty has never written anything on his own that has impressed me. Plus the horror genre is easily the most hit and miss genre in cinema. Ontop of that, horror anthology movies are even more difficult to do. Not to mention his only other entry into the horror genre is the atrocious Urban Legends 3. I'll read some reviews, see how it looks, but likely wait for DVD.
 
I really like the look of this movie, should be a lot of fun around Halloween.
 
You beat me to it with the new photos Hunter...this movie is looking better and better as I see more photos.

I don't know how you missed this one Hunter.
 
First review's up from AICN:

Here's FuturamaFan...

*This Review Contains Some Spoilers*
Tonight, I was given the chance to to see the new Bryan Singer Produced Horror Flick Trick R' Treat. Written and Directed by Michael Dougherty. This was the first time hearing about this film, so I had no idea what I was getting into the moment I said yes to my friend in going. So, we get to the theater (Pacific Theaters in Winnetka) and got some good seats. Apparently, we were the first people to see the film. Of course, we got the usual "This film isn't complete" stuff, but if you never heard the music before(I heard some Danny Elfman cues), it looks pretty done. So the lights dimmed and the movie started.
The film opens like a horror flick usually does, with a graphic killing of a hot girl. Then we find out about a principal(Dylan Baker), who seems to have some sort of vendetta with kids, as he poisons the candy and kills the fat kid from Bad Santa. That was a pretty gross scene, as the kid proceeds to vomit mountains of chocolate and possibly blood. It seems this guy leads a double life of being a serial killer, and burys his victims in the backyard, next to the oblivious Neighbor (Played by Brian Cox). He also carves up human head with his son, and then he goes back on the job.
Elsewhere, a group of teenage girls get dressed for a party, and one of them is the typical virgin girl (Anna Paquin), who is nervous about the whole ordeal, and tells them to go along while she catches up later. Meanwhile, a group of kids go of to a site where a bus driver attempted to kill a bunch of "Special kids" and failed, as one turned on him and drove the bus into the lake, killing everyone but one. And they decide to pull a prank on the nerdy girl that went with them, but weird stuff begins to happen.
So, just so you guys/girls know, these are all seperate stories taking place on the same night. Normally, this sounds like your average typical slasher flick. However, about 20 minutes into the film, everything turns incredibly bizzare. Since I knew nothing about the film before walking in, nothing could prepare me for the onslaught of weirdness that took place. Pretty soon, we get Werewolves, Zombies, and a little demon child for good measure, all thrown into a 90 minute bloodfest. Though not as graphic as some horror films these days, it's still very R-Rated. This was film where you think you know where it wasgoing, but then it quckly changes gears and introduces something completely messed up. Everything comes together at the end, but man, it was weird as hell. There was no real main character, as everyone got more or less equal screentime. But the best part easily was Brian Cox as the old next door. He faces off with the evil demon child. Forgot to mention, this thing is freaky as hell. It's got the head of a pumpkin, and it's filled with pumpkin juice.
So, what did I think of this movie? Well, for all it's randomness, and for the fact the the film was messed up beyond comprehension, it was definitely a hell of a lot of fun. It was more of a horror comedy than a straight up horror flick, there are as much laughs as scares. The audience seemed to be into it, but most were very confused about the various 180's the plot took. It almost seemed like Singer and Doughtery walked into a room, sat down and said "Hey, let's make a horror flick with Zombies, a serial killer, Werewolves, and a little pumpkin demon child, and set it during Halloween, and just go nuts."
That's exactly what this film was....nuts. Yet it was also great. The film is destined to be a cult classic.
If you must call be something, call me FuturamaFan.

Sounds great.
 
Whoa,I only read a little bit cause I don't want to spoil myself but :up:
