Trick 'r Treat 4K UHD Gets Halloween Release

Trick 'r Treat is getting the 4K treatment. 15 years after writer-director Michael Dougherty 's Halloween horror anthology went straight to DVD and Blu-ray in 2009, Arrow Films will debut a new Dougherty-approved 4K restoration of the cult classic as a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray limited edition on October 29th. Along with new cover artwork featuring the burlap sack-clad demon Sam, the restorer and independent entertainment distribution company will release an Arrow Store exclusive edition slipcover adorned with the film's original poster art.

The restoration, which presents the film in 4K Ultra HD (2160p) Blu-ray with Dolby Vision for the first time, includes a double-sided foldout poster and reversible sleeve featuring original and newly-commissioned artwork by Sara Deck, six postcard-sized art cards, and an illustrated collector's booklet featuring new writing on the film by Becky Darke and Heather Wixson.

Both versions -- the limited edition and the original artwork Arrow exclusive limited edition -- are available for pre-order on the Arrow Video website . A listing is also live here on Amazon .

The Trick 'r Treat 4K UHD includes the following special features:

Written and directed by Dougherty ( Krampus , Godzilla: King of the Monsters ), the anthology film communes with the spirits of classic horror portmanteaus like Creepshow and Tales from the Crypt , weaving together four chilling tales, all taking place during the same fateful Halloween night.

Follow the secretive and disturbing life of a high school principal (Dylan Baker) who leads a double life as a ruthless serial killer; the journey of a young girl (Anna Paquin) looking for love who finds something infinitely more macabre; a group of teenagers playing a prank with disastrous consequences; and an old man (Brian Cox) confronted by Sam, a mischievous trick-or-treater with a terrifying secret.

With its interwoven tales of terror and unforgettable characters, Trick 'r Treat has cemented itself as a Halloween essential, paying loving homage to the golden age of horror comics and 80s creature features with a slick modern style sure to send shivers down the spine of any fright fiend. Get ready for the scariest Halloween of your life -- and remember, always check your candy.
