Did anyone else give the Trick or Treat DVD a spin for Halloween 2008?
I sure did. It's STILL awesome!

I did too, it is a Halloween tradition for me since when I first saw it on Pay Per View on Halloween night 1987. Since then, I always put aside two hours every Halloween to watch it, with the exception of Halloween 1996, the only time I missed watching it.
I however, still am an 80's man, because I don't have the dvd, I still watch my old VHS copy of it when I taped it off of Showtime in April 1988!!! VHS still satisfies me. The 80's were a great decade!

I watched it this year, as well. The trip served as a reminder of how much of a big deal the movie was for me 20+ years ago and how dismal the current DVD releases are. While the film wasn't a monumental hit, everyone I knew at the time saw it and dug it, so why hasn't anyone capitalized on that fanbase and devoted the time and effort to a proper re-issue? Oh well, I've been bitching about that for the past six years.
shareAnchorbay (a cult DVD releasing company) were all set to release a special 20th Anniversary Edition of Trick or Treat back in 2006 but had to cancel it when they encountered problems with the film's music licensing. Talk about a major bummer.

Could they have worked something out? share
Michael Felsher (the guy who put the Gate, Pumpkinhead, Monster Squad and Night of the Creeps Special Edition DVDs together) reported to me in an e-mail that he has been trying to resolve the Trick or Treat music dispute for some time. Hopefully it will all be resolved soon.
I NEED a Special Edition Trick or Treat DVD on my shelf.
