Right on. These old school animations definitely bring me back to the good old days of being a kid. Even more so the good old feel of the spooky Halloween season. Crisp cool air, fallen leaves, jack-o-lanterns, ghosts and gobins...this video got it all spot on. Lord I love Halloween. :)
I've been searching for this forever as well! Last Halloween I must have done 1000 youtube searches trying to figure out what it was called or where to find it (try searching youtube with generic terms like "halloween" "animated", and you'll never find it, just got lucky this time). I love this, and remember seeing it years ago! Thanks!!!
I saw this on Atom Films,like,ten years ago. I thought from seeing photos of Sam from Trick r' Treat that he looked like the kid from this short. Eventually I read in Fangoria that Michael Dougherty did in fact make this short, and that it actually was the same character. Awesome.
That's so messed up and pretty scary if you think about it. I remember I saw this cartoon when I was 10 or something. I also remember a claymation one with somekind of bird freak guy.
ME too! I think sam is cute. Even when he took off the mask....eh...never mind. But still he was cute with the mask on. And he is my favorite killer now. :)
i haven't seen this cartoon in forever I was a kid! This cartoon was burned into my memory forever! Everyone that I told about this child memory of mine thought I was crazy haha What channel did this even come out on?
Isn't it awesome? =D It's sad. It was orignally supposed to be released in October of 2007, but Warner Brothers pulled it and didn't give a reason as to why. I was SO looking forward to it! D= People speculated it was because the director co directed Return of Superman that didn't do too well, or that it was because of the release of Saw VI. But they're finally going to release it October 9th! I'm glad they finally decided to released it!
I have also been searching for this video for years. I actually made this costume for halloween the year this cartoon aired. I wore the union suit and everything. Do you have the rest of this episode? I remember there was like a bird-man cartoon, also. THANK YOU
lol u really feel sad for Sam when nobody comes to the door and he just lowers his head
I've been looking for this for years ever since I saw it aired on MTV during the Halloween season back in the 90's. Thanks!
I saw Trick 'r Treat last night in Chicago and Mike was there to introduce the movie and this short-Sam is cute and creepy all at once
