Its insane that this never got any sequels

Can you imagine how successful this series would be if they released a new one every Halloween? The name alone would bring people in, they'd make a fortune. It just baffles me to this day we never got any sequels.

I mean Spirit Halloween every year has a ton of Sam merchandise, he's one of the icons now, yet we only get this 1 movie nearly a decade ago. The gimmick is great with the different stories taking place on Halloween, its incredibly marketable and almost a sure fire hit, i just don't get it.

There actually was supposed to be sequel. It was finally green-lit around 2013 I think, and then shortly after news of that was released, "Krampus" was also green-lit. From what I recall, after they got the ok to make Krampus, they were more excited to make that rather than the sequel for Trick r Treat, so it got put on the back burner and they made Krampus instead. Unfortunately I don't know if we will ever see a sequel at this point.

New article, posted today. https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3734488/trick-r-treat-sequel-in-very-active-development-according-to-michael-dougherty/

Regarding a Trick ‘r Treat sequel, Dougherty says he’s excited about the possibility, Legendary is excited by the possibility, and it’s currently in active development, stressing that doesn’t mean it’s greenlit, but does add, “Very active development.”

Seems like it could be happening.

It's better that way. Think of the awful sequels to Creepshow.

Creepshow 2 was OK. Kind of sucked they only did three tales and one of them wasn't very good.

They will ruin it with woke nonsense, better to just let it be.

There are many similar movies to this. For example, Creepshow 1 and 2, and also the British Amicus anthology films.

Yeah. The story really lent itself to a sequel. I think it did pretty well, though it didn't have a big theatrical run.

Kind of puzzling.
