Here it is! Our favourite time of year, once again. Halloween! The ancient festival of Samhain. On this show we're focusing on a straight to DVD little gem that should be on everyone's Halloween watch list. In a few words Trick 'R Treat (2007) can be described as Creepshow meets Pulp Fiction centred on an eerie Halloween night. Its a brilliant little anthology that delivers laughs, scares, spooks, all the elements of what the spirit of Halloween is about. Join us as we discuss this film and share with you hilarious stories of our Halloween experiences when we were kids. If you love Halloween you can't miss this show!
