The horror anthology film masterpiece known as Trick ‘r Treat is finally getting the 4K treatment. Ever since Mike Dougherty’s Halloween treat went straight to DVD and Blu-ray back in 2007, it has maintained a loyal following and earned a cult classic status. To this day, Sam merchandise will always reign supreme during the Fall because, well, he’s quite the cute little demon.
