I enjoyed it enough to add it to my small, and highly-selective, collection of horror Blu-Rays, but I wasn't completely floored by it like they were. But then again, I'm sure that if I were a bigger horror fan, I would have appreciated it on a completely different level.

Fair enough assessment. I think we have all had this happen to us at some point. Same thing happened with me with movies like "Superbad" and "The Hangover." They just didn't do anything for me, but everyone and their mother swears that they are the some of the funniest movies ever written.

My favorite part of "Trick R' Treat" is the fact that it was an anthology movie, done in the style and paying homage to others like Creepshow, Tales from the Darkside (and Hood...which I also loved), The Twilight Zone and of course Tales from the Crypt. Seeing how everything tied together and wrapped up on that one fateful night was really awesome...especially when we see the role that Sam plays in all of it.

My favorite episodes of "Tales From The Crypt" were not so much the jump scare or horror episodes, but the ones that made you kinda stop and think for a moment going..."That's really F'D up!" Here are a few of my favorites...

"Dig That Cat...He's Real Gone" - Season 1
"The Secret" - Season 2
"The Switch" - Season 2
"My Brother's Keeper" - Season 2
"Yellow" - Season 3
