Hey #CoSoHorror community, what do you think of TRICK ‘R TREAT (2007) dir. Michael Dougherty?
@Apocryphiliac I’m an absolute sucker for an anthology film and this was one of the better ones in recent memory. It’s not at the top of my list but I’d rank it above a few in the V/H/S series for sure. And Krampus is basically my household’s A Christmas Story so I’m generally a fan of Dougherty’s style.
@deadweirdo I’m sorta so-so on anthology films, myself, but there are some great ones. This one is close to top-tier for me, because it’s consistent, which is something most of them lack. I *like* the first two VHS’s, but I don’t know if I could say I *love* them bc they’re pretty hit-and-miss. What are your favorites in the sub-genre?
@deadweirdo I haven’t seen most of those… I kind of avoided a lot of them in favor of singular feature films, but I’ll have to give them a go!
@Apocryphiliac I liked Southbound (2015) a lot. Horror Noire (2021) I really dug, especially the final segment. The Mortuary Collection (2019) was super fun. Tales of Halloween (2015) was mostly strong. I dug the first 2 VHS movies too. Viral and 94 had some strong segments and 99 has some fun ideas but they definitely have diminishing returns. I even dig a lot of stuff like Torture Garden (1967) or Dr Terror’s House of Horror (1965). Depends on my mood.
