Director:Michael Dougherty. Starring: Dylan Baker … Steven; Rochelle Aytes … Maria; Quinn Lord … Sam / Peeping Tommy; Lauren Lee Smith … Danielle; Moneca Delain … Janet; Tahmoh Penikett … Henry; and many more. The movie is a single story of 4 interwoven tales … sorority-like girls from the big city on prey in the small town for cute boys they just want to gobble up during a bonfire party where things are not what they appear and transformations take place as well as ghastly flesh tearing horror; a couple returns from the city halloween fest to bicker about how the woman doesn’t like Halloween and flicks out a jack-o-lantern, cursing her existence into a ghastly death by some hidden creature of the night; a kid who kicks over jack-o-lanterns doesn’t check his candy and is poisoned and gets turned into a jack-o-lantern by the town’s school principal; pranking kids try to scare a local ‘special’ girl with tales about the Halloween bus massacre and meet an untimely death; A bitter old man meets revenge from spirits of the past to get his; and all along a pumpkin headed midget is somehow behind it all. Classic. Great plot and funny film. Definitely abide by the rules of Halloween or you’ll get yours. Rated 4.5 stars out of 5.
