About Trick or Treat
Town miser Gideon Hackles spends Halloween hiding IOU's in his house, which he then rigs as haunted and invites local kids to search for the IOU's so he can scare them. This year, he gets his comeuppance.
Directed by Bob Balaban, Trick or Treat leans on a strong ensemble — Paul Sparer, Barnard Hughes, I.M. Hobson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1983.
