Book Reviews of Trick 'r Treat: Tales of Mayhem, Mystery, and Mischief
Book Review: Perfect companion/compilation for the movie
Summary: 5 Stars
If your a fan of the Trick r Treat movie- get this book today. All color photos and art work plus special inserts. Nice hardcover with a slip on jacket, this book will last for decades if not longer. [...]. This is definately a book you will want to pull out every October. Makes a great mantel piece and a nice conversation piece. All your guests will want to browse thru it. There are a few pictures of gore so its something you dont want your 12 year old to read. I would say the age recommendation would be over 14. (Remember the movie is rated R). The Amazon price is nice at $30 - Barnes and Noble wants $45. Amazon has the lowest price I could find.
It would be nice if all my favorite movies had a nice companion book like this one. Very sturdy, very well laid out. The book covers most Halloween traditions and it has production notes about the making of the movie.
Summary of Trick 'r Treat: Tales of Mayhem, Mystery, and Mischief
Trick 'r Treat delves into the four stories that make up the feature film, Trick 'r Treat releasing in October 2007. It reflects Dougherty's personal take on the filmmaking process, details how the ideas and art came together, and presents it with exclusive special features in a unique format. The genre encompasses drama, horror, thriller...mixed with a good dose of twisted humor.Set in a small suburban town, Trick 'r Treat explores Halloween traditions while following a group of people trying to survive the most terrifying night of the year. From a serial killer who specializes in poisoning candy; to a group of mischievous kids who unearth their town's dark secret; to a young woman hunted by masked stalker at the local festival; to a cantankerous old hermit confronted by a demonic trick-or-treater, the film is filled with horrifying surprises, nervous laughs and strange creatures of every variety--human or otherwise.
The atmosphere Dougherty creates on film mirrors the flavor of his art--whimsical, yet eerie. It seems welcoming from a distance, but the closer you look, the more you see the twisted, dark side of Dougherty's mind. Dougherty's third-grade teacher once remarked on a report card that his behavior exhibited "early evidence of what may be an extraordinary morbid ingenuity." Years later, his drawings and doodles of the youthful, eerily pumpkin-headed character, Sam--a kind of ghost of Halloweens past--along with a number of other creepy, unforgettable characters, have made it to the big screen. There, Dougherty's art and storytelling promise to take a fresh twist. At the launch of his career he's already got a loyal following eagerly awaiting his next spooky project.
