Before there was Avengers and Ultron or even Dollhouse, there was Buffy. And before there was the groundbreaking television show about Buffy, there was this cheesy movie. Joss Whedon has said that this flick didn't turn out as he'd hoped, but it is still fairly good. Rutger Hauer (Hobo with a Shotgun) and Paul Rubens (Pee-Wee Herman) tooling around together as a couple of powerful but silly vampires is reason enough to watch for me. Throw in Oscar winner Hillary Swank (The Next Karate Kid) doing her best valley girl impression, and that guy from Office Space (Trailer Park Boys) as the principal and we've got ourselves a movie!
Trick R Treat pretty much gets better every time I see it. The interweaving stories cover most of the ground that you want explored in a good Halloween yarn. And they do it in, like, an hour and twenty minutes. That sounds like success to me.
