I've heard there were some companies interested in it. And with the remake in '09 (if it really happens), you know we'll get one. I'd die for some deleted scenes! And I know there are some in existance.......

Apparently, cult movie disc company Anchorbay were all set to release a special edition DVD for 'Trick or Treat' in 2006 but had to drop it when they encountered problems with the music licensing. Dammit!!!

that blows.

Yeah! It sucks! But even if the Special Edition DVD never sees the light of day, according to both Joel Soisson and bloodydisgusting.com, we may still get a sequel/remake in 2009! That would be sweet!

A re-make of Trick or Treat?. My god that would be interesting, but we all know that re-makes of horror or cult movies always fails.

[–] DemonGate 17 years ago

Not always...remakes such as 'The Thing' (1982) and 'Dawn of the Dead' (2004) have done quite well at the box office. I don't think 'Trick or Treat' (2009) will fail because the fans will support it no matter how 'b' grade it might turn out!

If they're going to do a "re-make", why not do a sequel too? I even got an idea for a short, 5-minute sequel that could be shown right before the re-make:

Sammi materializes in today's world of rap music. And a'la Austin Powers, finds out the world he once knew no longer exists. He comes back to a world where both Ozzy and Gene Simmons (co-stars from the original film) have become morons on reality TV and are no longer the demons of yesteryear, Rob Halford has come out of the closet, Michael Anthony from Van Halen has been replaced by a 15 year-old, and heavy metal is a memory. Sammi then decides to flush himself down the toilet forever.

You just made my laugh my head off.

...Sammi then decides to flush himself down the toilet forever.

Or simply pours gasoline all over himself and can't find an ignition source. No matter how hard he tries he can't get back into hell.

The only good thing about a remake would be the fact that the DVD of the original would come out.

Heavy metal of the 80s has soo much charm and fun to it. I can't see how they'd make it as fun. Some maralyn manson type returning from the grave? Nah, not for me. Make a horror film set in the 80s in that style, that could be great fun, but to set it now you'd have to take into account how media savvy everything is. Why not have one where the band are some kind of ghouls, be it demons or whatever and they are hidden in plain sight, they claim to be these things knowing it's taken as a stunt, kill people on stage? part of the show to the unknowing audience, hell i'd go watch that. Go the full hog and have it so that the records really are telling the kids to kill and murder, play on all the silly fears people have about music, metal in the 80s, rap and hip hop now.

I just played a record backwards and it said "don't remake this movie!" ha.

I rented it years ago and loved it.

Teenagers, eh?

There is a film called Reverb as well that covers this kind of topic. Not watched it yet but was intrigued.

Funnily enough....I actually agree with this statement!
