The independent film Trick ‘R Treat (2007) was released
straight to DVD/BD/Digital without much fanfare despite being a huge success at
film festivals. When audiences finally
got to see the film it became an instant cult classic. Most of the awareness from the film came from
the short film that inspired the feature film and the book Trick ‘R Treat: Tales of Mayhem, Mystery & Mischief written by
John Griffin. The book was unleased upon
the public the same year the film was supposed to be but the release of the
film was delayed by almost a year but audiences were still able to experience
the film through this book.
Griffin has crafted a love letter for the film which gives a
detailed analysis of the making of the film as well as the history of the Halloween
tradition. This is done through artwork
and production stills from the film but also through the many pieces of the art
embedded within the book from post cards, a mini comic, a costume sketch book,
stickers, pumpkin cut outs, a Sam face mask and even a poster, to name just a
few of the great items that come with the book.
This is a treasure trove of great items that will enhance
anyone’s enjoyment of the film and a great book that explains the mechanics of
how the film was made.
