Trick 'r Treat director Michael Dougherty revealed that his beloved burlap sack-donning mascot Sam will have a nemesis in the sequel.
The Big Picture The long-awaited Trick 'r Treat sequel is finally escaping development hell and Michael Dougherty has big plans for his adorable little demon Sam. Back in 2022, the director announced at Beyond Fest that the follow-up was in development, though he didn't give away any details of what to expect in the new anthology.
Technically, Sam already had one foe whom he scrapped with in the original film - Brian Cox. The Succession star played Mr. Kreeg, the old and grouchy next-door neighbor to Dylan Baker's murderous principal Steven Wilkens. He fails to obey the rules of Halloween, scaring kids off with his dog rather than giving them candy which is enough to land him on the wrong end of Sam's sharp Jack-o'-Lantern lollipop.
Sam is the connective tissue that helps make Trick 'r Treat so special. Rather than be a malevolent force in the vein of other slasher villains like Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees, he's a good boy working as an enforcer of Halloween and Samhain traditions as the citizens of Warren Valley encounter real monsters. If you respect him and the Halloween spirit, he respects you.
'Trick 'r Treat 2' Hails From the Team Behind 'Krampus' Dougherty will be behind the camera once again to capture Sam's new adventures and inevitable battle with a new grumpy Halloween foe, and he's bringing back much of the team that helped design the original Trick 'r Treat. Additionally, he's brought aboard his Krampus co-writers Todd Casey and Zach Shields to help pen the script for the anthology sequel.
Stay tuned here at Collider for more on Trick 'r Treat 2 as it continues development. For this Halloween season, however, you can stream the original exclusively on Max.
