Re: Trick or Treat
So did Warner Bros really push this back to October 2008?? Even though they just released a gazillion 300 DVDs pushing Trick 'R Treat as coming out soon, complete with package sticker and trailer with the October 5, 2007 release date????

yep .. WB has removed it from its October 07 release for a release in 2008. Must be really, really bad for them to do this.

Re: Trick or Treat
That's weird, because reactions were positive from the test screenings and the trailer has been getting very good buzz.

Re: Trick or Treat
I think it was pushed because they didn't want to compete with the new Halloween release this year... we're not sure how it's going to affect the release of the figure at this time - stay tuned. Reaction to the trailer and screening was pretty great, so the film should be a good time. Definitely looking forward to it!

Re: Trick or Treat
There's also a planned tie-in book from Insight Editions.
Warner Bros will screw up all kinds of stuff if they indeed push this back... especially a whole year.
And doesn't Halloween come out on August 31st? That's a full 6 weeks before Trick 'R Treat's previously slated release date... an eternity box-office wise. I don't understand what the studio is thinking here. Buzz? Check. Huge marketing push (inluding 10/5/07 release date) on an A-list DVD release (300)? Check. Positive Test Screenings? Check. Cool tie-in product? Check. "Oh, let's push it back a whole calendar year!".

Yeah, that makes no sense.

Saw this trailer again last night. I am SO pissed they are delaying this (for seemingly no good reason).

Re: Trick or Treat
I was actually really looking forward to having the little guy in my collection . . . I wonder when we will hear about the shipping date for it . . . I would think that they have to wait for the movie . . . right ?

Ok so, I just watched the preview, Looks to be an AWESOME Halloween themed Horror film! Placed my order for Sam. Anyone seen what Sam looks like without the mask?

Re: Trick or Treat
I really hope someone picks this up. The same thing happened to House of 1000 Corpses before it got picked up and it did pretty well for Lionsgate. I would imagine someone would have to pick this up.
I got the 15 day notice too. I LOVE the look of this figure.

Re: Trick or Treat
Sometimes I just have to scratch my head. By and large, horror makes money because the films are do cheap to make. How much could Trick or Treat possibly have cost? 5-10M?? If they release it a couple months before Halloween (and the inevitable SAW sequal) it would probably recoup its budget in the first week. Even if it tanks, movies like these have a very strong shelf life on DVD. There has not been a cood compilation-horror movie since Creepshow.
