TRICK 'R TREAT MOVIE TRIVIA
- The film was originally slated to be released in October 2007 for a Halloween release. Warner Bros., without explanation or reason, pulled the film from the schedule and no reschedule date was announced. One reason might have been that Saw IV was slated for release around the same time and Warner Bros. did not want to compete against it in fears of a big opening against them. Another possible reason the film was buried by the studio was that it was possible fallout from the box office disappointment of Superman Returns, which was co-written by Trick 'r Treat writer/director Michael Dougherty and both produced and directed by Bryan Singer, whose production company produced this film. There was brief talk that the film would finally be released around Halloween 2008 and possibly early 2009 but neither release ever materialized. The film was finally released straight to DVD in October 2009.
- The film is based on Michael Dougherty's animated short film Season's Greetings, which debuted the character of Sam.
- The film had many title changes before filming began. Originally titled Season's Greetings (also the name of the short film), it was changed because it sounded too much like a Christmas film. Then it was called Halloween Terrors, Jack O' Lantern Tales, October the 31st, and Trick or Treat. The final title was kept but since there was already a movie of the same name out, they changed the spelling to Trick 'r Treat.
- The name of the character Sam is derived from Samhain, the ancient Celtic festival of the dead from which modern-day Halloween is derived. Despite having been portrayed as such in this film and several other works, Samhain is not a deity or other personage of ancient Celtic polytheism; it is only the name of the celebration. However, the idea of being either a deity or other personage dates back to at least the late first century, largely thanks to an Irish bishop named Cormac mac Cuilennàin and his book "Sanas Cormaic" (Irish Gaelic for "Cormac's Narrative"), which had identified Samhain as such.
- Several of the cast members have appeared in other productions based on Marvel Comics. Anna Paquin has played Rogue in all three "X-Men" movies. (X-Men, X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand) Brian Cox also appeared in _X2 (2003), playing William Stryker_.Dylan Baker played Dr. Curt Connors aka "The Lizard" in both Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3. Leslie Bibb played reporter Christine Everhart in Iron Man. Moneca Delainappeared in 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer. And both Lauren Lee Smith and Quinn Lord have appeared in different episodes of Blade: The Series
