Overview

  • Fathom Entertainment is partnering with Warner Bros. Pictures, Legendary Pictures, and Saga Arts to present the two-night event nationwide.
  • The program features a new 4K restoration of Trick 'r Treat alongside a 4K remaster of Michael Dougherty’s 1996 short Season’s Greetings.
  • Screenings include a bonus featurette in which Dougherty reflects on the Halloween inspirations and the creation of the character Sam.
  • Showings are scheduled for October 14 and 16 only, with tickets available through Fathom Entertainment and participating theater box offices.
  • Originally shelved and released straight to video in 2009, the film has since built a strong cult following with Sam becoming a prominent Halloween icon.
