SEED: 3/5☆~ this one was decent. love me a good witch story and the art style was nice. also reminds my of the video for the song The War by SYML. at least the end part, but only a little 😅
CORN MAIDEN: 3/5☆~ white settlers gotta be awful to indigenous tribes, as they do. fun story, wonderful art style, not the biggest fan of the ending, but still.
ECHOES: 1/5☆~ I like the premise, that's it. apparently a more crime noir style with witch elements, but the story's chaotic, the art style is awful, and I did not enjoy. NEXT PLEASE
MONSTER MASH: 5/5☆~ by far my favourite and the best part of the collection. fun, spooky, heartbreaking & touching. it ties into the framing device established at the beginning & has the most pleasing art style. big fan!
the extra treats in the end are nice, some full colour pages of art & sketches from the artists of each story. overall, an ok addition to the Trick r Treat world. love the movie, hopefully that real sequel comes to be. at least theres the comics, for now. even if they aren't all hits.
overall: a 3.5/5☆ (adding up & averaging all stories then an addition 0.5 for the bonuses in the end that I liked)
