Trick 'r Treat screenings and DVD
After two years of waiting...
Both Fangoria and Bloody Disgusting are announcing that this may be the year Lauren Lee Smith's Trick 'r Treat is finally released on DVD. The director, Michael Dougherty, has also promised a tour of several film festivals around the world, along with an associated graphic novel by Wildstorm Comics.
From Icons of Fright:
Finally! TRICK 'R TREAT Release Details!
Finally, this fall you'll be able to see what is universally being hailed as one of the best Halloween themed (let alone horror!) movies ever made, Michael Dougherty's TRICK 'R TREAT. The writer/director announced at this past weekend's FANGORIA convention that the film will be available on DVD this October! Plus, much like the REPO road tour, he's taking the film on several theatrical stops from July through October. (Please do make an effort to see it on the big screen with an audience. You will NOT be disappointed!)
FANGORIA has confirmed these early cities so far:
FANTASIA FILM FESTIVAL, Montreal, Canada July 9-27
TORONTO AFTER DARK, Toronto, Canada August 14-21
MORBIDO FEST, Mexico City, Mexico (MySpace)

In other TRICK 'R TREAT related news, you'll be able to pick up the soundtrack to the feature in September, and DC/Wildstorm will also be releasing the graphic novel to the movie in October as well. SlashFilm.com got a preview of several pages from the comic.
