in 2009 despite the positive vibe--Now filmmaker Michael Dougherty's cult anthology horror tale "Trick 'r Treat" may finally be getting its due.
The film has grown a sizeable cult audience through disc and VOD, so much so that a sequel
has officially been confirmed and will be financed by Legendary Pictures.
The first film had a fan screening last night at the Los Angeles’ Egyptian Theater where Dougherty revealed the news and says the property could live on with a new anthology film every few years.
The burlap sack-wearing Sam would be the connecting bridge for the various stories. Things could still change though as there's no script at this point, but one thing likely to be included would be a further exploration of Sam's story.
Dougherty tells EW:
"This is a sequel which is definitely being made because of fan demand, and because of word of mouth, which has been building for years. It’s not a sequel that’s just being rushed out because the movie had a big opening weekend. This is a sequel that people actually want, which I think is a rarity. I’m just eternally grateful for the fans for the constant, constant support."
This is great news! The original film is truly one of the BEST genre movies of the last decade...Period.

I had this in my instant queue on Netflix forever, then they took it off before I could watch it. I put it back in my disc queue, I'm looking forward to it. The hype has always been great.
