There are only four rules. Follow them, and survive the night. Break one, and you’ll end up having a not-so-happy Halloween. In other words, Sam’s coming for you with his sharp little lollipop. Trick ‘r Treat is a Halloween classic that’s much more treat than trick. The film has pulled a sizable cult following since its debut in 2007. Many revisit the collection of interwoven tales each year. From the twisted imagination of Trick ‘r Treat creator Michael Dougherty comes an entirely new grouping of stories. Trick ‘r Treat: Witching Hours is a graphic novel that tells four never-before-published stories following everyone’s favorite mischief maker, Sam.
Trick ‘r Treat: Witching Hours offers four brand new narratives that answer the question: what happens if you break the rules of Halloween? The answer: bad, bad things. The four stories are as follows: “One Last Halloween,” “Did You Miss Me,” “Harvest Moons,” and “Halloween Country.” Read the official description of each spooky tale below.
One Last Halloween
At a rundown nursing home, a group of lonely patients summons the spirit of Halloween in order to celebrate one last spooky holiday together, with unexpected and frightening results.
Did You Miss Me
When a man returns from the dead on Halloween, he’s given one night to find closure and reunite with his beloved wife, only to discover a horrifying and tragic secret.
Harvest Moons
Far across the galaxy and untethered from the now-defunct roots of Earth, a group of kids on a conservative space colony will discover that Halloween is more than a long-lost tradition.
Halloween Country
Deep in Wyoming corn country, three ranch hands break up a strange occult ritual and find themselves hunted by a half-formed creature straight out of Halloween folklore.
The graphic novel is published by Legendary Comics and available for pre-order now. Dougherty is the writer/director of Trick ‘r Treat, Krampus, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters. What spooky punishments will Sam cook up for those who break his rules next? Trick ‘r Treat: Witching Hours arrives on August 18.
