Only two days after I whet your appetite for TRICK ‘R TREAT with a few choice words from writer/director Michael Dougherty (read that HERE), I serve up an even more filling hors d’oeuvre in the form of the Halloween flick’s teaser poster, coutesy of Dougherty’s Myspace page.

Creepy, huh? While it may look like this film is about a lonely kid with a tennis ball for a head who’s only friends are an evil pumpkin and sack of leaves, it’s really an anthology horror film about various killers, helpless victims, stalkers, naughty kids, deranged trick ‘r treaters, and other neighborly types interacting together in a small town on Halloween night. I hope Dougherty and producer Bryan Singer hit this one out of the park, cuz the potential is there for a really great time.
