What happens

Trick 'r Treat is a 2007 American comedy horror film written and directed by Michael Dougherty (in his directorial debut) and produced by Bryan Singer. The film stars Dylan Baker, Rochelle Aytes, Anna Paquin, and Brian Cox. It relates four Halloween horror stories with a common element in them: Sam, a trick-or-treating demon wearing orange footie pajamas with a burlap sack over his head, who appears in each story whenever one of the other characters breaks a Halloween tradition. Trick 'r Treat premiered at the Butt-Numb-A-Thon on December 9, 2007, and had other festival play and limited theatrical screenings before being released on video by Warner Bros. Pictures on October 6, 2009. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
