Trick'r Treat, a renaissance for American Halloween culture

The first impression is that the whole film basically gives me a sense of suspense. Unlike many films, which have revealed a horrific hobby of a perverted murderer or the so-called hero overcoming evil, the stereotyped plot, but five. Interspersed with very simple little stories, this constant suspense is created.
All five stories are summed up in four sentences: the couple's quarrel over Halloween culture, the principal's dark side, the compromise of an old man with a criminal record, the joy and pain of the prankster, and of course, the quest to lose the "virgin" beauty werewolf. The director's cutting technology and the overlapping of plots have greatly improved the visibility and the continuity of the horror.
Of course, I personally think this film is to meet the increasing cultural needs of the American people, and to impact the unpretentiousness of Halloween movies over the years. Of course, I mean the unpretentiousness. In fact, the old Americans think that Halloween is now more of a It is a kind of entertainment and leisure festival, and it has almost nothing to do with the Celts to commemorate the death of their ancestors, so in the film, the perverted principal talks about the principles of Halloween:
warnings against smashing pumpkins
checking your candy before you eat it
the perils that befall those who do not stock up on candy
so those who do not respect these regulations in the film will not get a good end, of course I don't understand why the werewolf scene is set up, is it to meet the needs of male prostitutes And giving Anna Paquin a chance to star? I don't know, but overall it's still a very good movie. I recommend everyone to watch it. It's not disgusting, quack!

The above only represents personal opinions. Due to limited knowledge and experience, if there are any mistakes or omissions, please laugh them off.

    Macy: Jesus, will you shut up and let me tell the damn story?

    Rhonda: You said a bad word.

    [Macy rolls her eyes at Rhonda before telling the story]

    Macy: It happened 30 years ago on a late Halloween afternoon.

    Macy: [begins narrating the flashback] A school bus was on its usual route. But this wasn't your typical school bus and they weren't your typical kids. There were eight of them and they were different. Troubled. Disturbed. Every day, parents put their dirty secrets on this bus to be driven to a school miles out of town.

    [we see the kids each in their creepy Halloween masks and costumes]

    Vampire Kid: [we see the vampire kid in his seat counting the addresses outside] 3260. 3264. 3266.

    Macy: [continuing to narrate] But that day... the driver took a different route.

    Vampire Kid: Wrong way. Wrong way. Wrong way.

    Macy: And instead of taking the students home he drove the bus to an abandoned rock quarry. This rock quarry.

    [narrates]

    Macy: What the kids didn't know is that, over the years, their parents had become exhausted, and embarrassed. And they were willing to do anything to ease their burden. So one day, the parents approached the bus driver and made him an offer. With the money collected together, they asked him to do the unthinkable. It almost worked perfectly.

    [the bus driver quiets the kids and begins to walk down the bus checking that each chained down kid is correct, passing them each a piece of candy]

    Vampire Kid: [the vampire kid begins to try and slip out of his chains] Wrong way. Wrong way. Home. Home. I wanna go home. I wanna go home. Home.

    Vampire Kid: [the vampire kid manages to get behind the steering wheel of the bus] Home. Home. Home. I wanna go home. Home.

    [the bus drives forward off the rock quarry with the bus driver surviving]

    Macy: [narrating] The driver was never heard from again. As for the bus, some say it sank so deep that it couldn't be found. Others say the town just didn't want it to be found. For all we know, it's still down there and so are those kids.

    [silence as the kids look down into the rock quarry]
