It had the same late '70s or early '80s vibe that Eli Roth was able to capture in his "Thanksgiving" trailer that he created for Grindhouse (including the gratuitous nudity which was such a staple of horror and teen comedy films of the time). It also had characters (partly because of the writing but also because of some great performances) that I want to visit again and again. I order the Trick 'r Treat coffe table book as soon as I got home that night, it arrived today, and it is gorgeous! Not only does it have pictures and stories about the making of the film but it includes a comic book based on Season's Greetings (Dougherty's animated short that first introduced the character of Sam), post cards, stickers, and envelopes containing jack-o-lantern stencils, a paper Sam mask, and a Trick 'r Treat poster (plus other assorted fold-out goodies). It's every bit as charming and an obvious labour of love as the movie itself. With the soundtrack coming out in September and the dvd in October, it's going to be an extra special Halloween this year! :D Check out the video review of the book on the Amazon.ca page http://www.amazon.ca/Trick-Treat-Mayhem-Mystery-Mischief/dp/1933784512/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1251155491&sr=1-1 I completely agree Trista, Trick ‘r Treat was great fun and totally charming!

I do think that he's emulated them well here, hopefully intentionally, and it'll certainly take its place in my horror collection for multiple watchings when I want to put my brain on mute.

I'll give it points on structure though, it seriously fit together like a puzzle at the end.
