Legendary Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Saga Arts are bringing “Trick ‘r Treat” to screens nationwide for the first time ever, newly restored in 4K and with partner Fathom Entertainment. The re-release of the Halloween classic will screen for two nights only, October 14 and 16, 2025.
This special nationwide re-release will give die-hard fans and curious newcomers the chance to relive the frights, the laughs, and the twisted traditions of this cult favorite. Plus, audiences will get bonus content straight from writer/director Michael Dougherty!
“Trick ‘r Treat” has grown into a modern Halloween classic that’s part horror anthology and part cautionary tale. At the center of it all is Sam, the mischievous spirit who punishes anyone who dares to break the rules of Halloween. The film weaves together sinister stories set on Halloween night: a high school principal, Dylan Baker (“Spider-Man 2”) moonlights as a serial killer; a young virgin’s, Anna Paquin (“X-Men” franchise) search for the right man turns horrific; “Emma” Leslie Bibb (“The White Lotus”) and her husband discover the cost of ignoring holiday rituals; and a cantankerous old man, Brian Cox (“Succession”) faces Sam in a terrifying showdown.
“Horror fans have long been thirsting for Trick’ r Treat to take its rightful place back on the big screen and in cinemas nationwide. Fathom is thrilled to bring this classic horror film back in theatres in sparkling 4K with our partners just in time for Halloween,” said Tom Lucas, Vice President of Studio Relations at Fathom Entertainment.
Fans will also be treated to a special featurette where Dougherty revisits the Halloween memories that inspired “Trick ‘r Treat,” taking us through the evocations that brought the iconic Sam to life.
And before “Trick ‘r Treat” begins, experience the very first appearance of Sam and the spark that started it all with the all-new 4K restoration of Dougherty’s 1996 animated short, “Season’s Greetings.”
Tickets for “Trick ‘r Treat” are available at Fathom Entertainment and participating theatre box offices.
