My Single Mom Life

Last night (Tuesday night) the teens and I watched a most awesome Halloween movie!
We watched Trick 'r Treat, and it is seriously awesome!
It stars most notably, Anna Paquin of HBO's True Blood, and her Academy Award winning role in The Piano, when she was just 9 years old.

Trick 'r Treat is 5 stories interwoven into one tale that takes place on Halloween night, all on the same block in one neighborhood, and they have a special little trick or treater.
That special trick or treater is named "Sam", and he is the spirit of Halloween itself.
Sam does not like it one little bit when people do not follow the traditions of Halloween.
Don't blow out your jack o' lantern before midnight, don't mock the dead, always give out candy to children when they say trick or treat, and several other traditions or rituals of the one night of the year when the dead are said to walk to walk the earth.

There is one story that is just so beyond messed up, like whoever thought of it is just totally screwed in the head, it is quite possibly the most evil tale that I have ever heard in my entire life.
I don't want to give anything away, so let me just say that Trick 'r Treat is probably one of the best Halloween movies that I have seen in ages!
The stories are perfectly played out, the blood and gore totally adequate, and some of the tales are just fabulously beyond twisted, I loved it!
I was sitting here in my own house applauding the ends of each of the 5 stories arcs, they were that perfect!
If you love Halloween movies and like a bit of a scare, (it's not super scary at all, it's just right and totally twisted!) you need to Netflix it or get it on demand from your cable provider like now, it's really just a totally super awesome Halloween movie.

I would so totally love a little stuffed toy of Sam, he's freaking awesome!
