Trick 'r Treat: Days of the Dead by Michael Dougherty
4.0
I'll be the first to tell you that I don't watch horror movies but I love horror comics! I don't usually write long reviews but I am reviewing this. I am a huge fan of Fiona Staples (Saga) so I figured I'd at least enjoy the art. Ok, this graphic novel has 4 parts and each part is a different section of a collective universe.
Spoilers:
Part one is a typical horror story. It takes place in a suburban neighborhood where kids and families are actively trick or treating. However, each family has a unnatural incident and the neighbors or unaware they each of them will experience a horror-filled night. The first story was sort of predictable but filled with gore. The second story involved a sadistic teacher who is also a father who gets his kicks off poisoning kids with candy. His kid is getting on his nerves as he digs graves in his backyard. His neighbor shouts out to him. Remember this neighbor.
Part two was my favorite. In typical horror tropes, women are assaulted. However a group of girls decide to attend a Halloween costume party and while most of the girls are dressed either sexy or scary, these friends are dressed as vanilla Disney princesses. They lure men into the forest and eat them alive because they are on their periods
