Bryan Singer's X2 and SUPERMAN RETURNS writing team of Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris are now off doing their own separate non-superhero things, such as the upcoming horror flick TRICK 'r TREAT. Dougherty is graduating to feature directing with the movie, which collects X2 alumni Brian Cox and Anna Paquin for the Halloween chills.

The movie interweaves several terrifying subplots, including a serial-killing school principal, a gang of pranking teens, and a guy obsessed with Halloween. Dougherty recently revealed the appropriately atmospheric teaser poster you see below -- it's also nice to know the movie will be in theaters around the time of the actual holiday.

Extra Tidbit: Dougherty's partner Harris already broke his feature directing cherry on the underappreciated family drama IMAGINARY HEROES.

C'mon, just because there's a carved pumpkin in the poster it's a rip-off of Halloween? I think it's a pretty damn good teaser poster.

I hadn't thought much of this until now. With Paguin, Cox, and the plot description, it actually sounds like it could be interesting.
