Trick 'r Treat [2008]

Full Story Summary :-

Movie Spoiler Warning!! [Can Ruin A Movie Ending]

The film is an anthology of four Halloween-related scary stories. One thing that ties the stories together is the presence of Sam (Quinn Lord), a mysterious pint-sized trick-or-treater wearing shabby orange pajamas with a burlap sack over his head. He makes an appearance in all the stories as a 'friendly-reminder' to those who break Halloween traditions.

Opening:-

Emma (Leslie Bibb) and Henry (Tahmoh Penikett) have set up numerous ghost-scarecrows for Halloween in their yard. After returning home from a Halloween party, Emma tries to blow out a jack-o'-lantern by their fence, but Henry tells her not to because it's against tradition; she blows out the jack-o'-lantern anyway. While Henry is inside waiting for Emma to take down the decorations, she is murdered with a large knife-like pumpkin lollipop by an unknown assailant. Later, Henry goes outside and finds Emma's severed head, with the giant lollipop in its mouth, hung up on one of the ghost-scarecrows.

The Principal:-

Steven Wilkins (Dylan Baker), the town principal, poisons Charlie (Brett Kelly) (a boy caught stealing candy from Wilkins' porch) killing him. Wilkins buries Charlie in his backyard, along with another body, and has a run-in with his neighbor Mr. Kreeg (Brian Cox) and his dog. After finishing the burial, Wilkins sees Kreeg screaming from his window, begging for help. Wilkins disregards this. Later, Wilkins helps his son Billy (Connor Christopher Levins) carve a "jack-o'-lantern" in their basement, which is revealed to be Charlie's severed head. The sequence ends with Billy saying, "Lets make a scary face this time."

The School Bus Massacre Revisited:-

Five kids, Macy (Britt McKillip), Schrader (Jean-Luc Bilodeau), Sara (Isabelle Deluce), Chip (Alberto Ghisi), and Rhonda (Samm Todd), a savant, journey to the local rock quarry where Macy tells them the local urban legend of "The Halloween School Bus Massacre". Thirty years ago, a school bus containing eight children, all mentally challenged and disturbed to the point of needing to be chained to their chairs, crashed into the lake at the bottom of the quarry; the bus driver was the only one who survived. As the group investigates the quarry, a prank meant for Rhonda instead turns deadly when the legend proves to be true. After Macy kicks a jack-o-lantern into the lake the school bus children return from the grave and kill everyone except Rhonda, who gets revenge against the group by escaping up the quarry's lone elevator.

Surprise Party:-

Laurie (Anna Paquin), a self-conscious 22-year-old "virgin", goes into the woods after deciding to separate from her group of promiscuous friends. There, she is attacked by a vampire, while her sister Danielle (Lauren Lee Smith) and her friends Maria (Rochelle Aytes) and Janet (Moneca Delain) party nearby at a bonfire with men they picked up along the way. The vampire's body suddenly drops from a tree onto the party and Laurie appears. The "vampire" is revealed to be Principal Wilkins in disguise wearing fake fangs. The girls at the party, along with Laurie, suddenly transform into werewolves and devour their dates along with Wilkins.

Meet Sam:-

*This segment takes place at the same time as "The Principal"

Kreeg, a cantankerous, Halloween-hating, curmudgeon lives alone with his dog, Spite. Kreeg shows his disgust for Halloween by scaring away trick-or-treaters. While in his house, Kreeg is attacked by Sam. During the struggle, Kreeg rips off the sack over Sam's head to reveal his head to be a cross between a jack-o-lantern and a skull. Kreeg runs to his window calling for Mr. Wilkins to help him, but is tackled by Sam. Kreeg gains the upper hand when he manages to fire his shotgun at Sam, seemingly killing him. As Kreeg dials 9-1-1, Sam attacks him again, stabbing at him with a large pumpkin sucker which lodges in a candy bar sitting on Kreeg's chest. Finally receiving his treat, Sam proceeds to eat the candy bar and then leaves the house. Meanwhile, pictures burning slowly in a nearby fireplace show a class photo of the children from the "School Bus Massacre" and the bus driver, revealed to be Kreeg himself.

Conclusion:-

Bandaged and bruised from his encounter with Sam, Kreeg answers his door to give candy to trick or treaters. While on his porch, he sees Sam go to Emma and Henry's house just as she is blowing out the jack-o'-lantern. Rhonda walks across the street and is almost hit by the laughing, human-form werewolf girls in their vehicle. Young Billy Wilkins is sitting on his porch handing out candy wearing a "Principal Wilkins" costume. Kreeg then walks back inside when there's another knock at the door. He opens the door to find the kids from the School Bus Massacre standing there with their bags outstretched, saying, "Trick r' Treat". The ending is rendered as comic book pages showing the bus driver's fate at the hands of the undead children.

Rules:-

During the film, there are four rules of Halloween which are broken by the characters excluding the first rule.

1.Wear a costume. (Broken by Kreeg and Charlie.) 

2. Hand out treats. (Broken by Kreeg) 

3.Never blow out a Jack O' Lantern. (Broken by Emma and, technically, by Macy)
