One thing that\u2019s always menacing about Halloween are trick or treaters, because you just never really know who, or what, are wearing those dreaded masks and whatnot.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTreaters\u201d is a short film wholly for the horror and Halloween fanatics, and it\u2019s a nasty little short that I watched at least twice because I wanted more from this world. Set on Halloween night, we follow a trio of hardcore trick or treaters, and they\u2019re led by the mastermind, a mischievous child with a Halloween mask. Sidestepping traditional Trick or treating, they instead decide to break in to the local candy store and steal as much as they can, all the while evading the cranky owner.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the owner\u2019s obliviousness to their antics in her closed store, they begin grabbing whatever they can. But when they slip up and the owner appears with a hand held weapon, it suddenly becomes every trick or treater for themselves. \u201cTreaters\u201d is such a fun and menacing horror short and one I hope is extended in the future in to a full length film. Peter Stanley-Ward\u2019s direction is fantastic, the acting is top notch, and the special effects are absolutely mind blowing. When you gander at the final scene, you\u2019ll surely take \u201cTreaters\u201d with a newfound appreciation for Halloween and how anything can happen on that magical night.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fo0JXjyszMs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Treehouse Digital and director Peter Stanley-Ward, \u201cTreaters\u201d is a short film that I would love to become the basis for a horror anthology somewhere down the road. \u201cTreaters\u201d is a surefire Halloween treat that works with a sense of whimsy but also has an admirably demented sense of humor that I was sucked in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,7,12],"tags":[349,441,477,501,703,938,1008],"class_list":["post-26816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-a-indie","category-halloween-horror-month","category-movie-reviews","tag-fantasy","tag-halloween","tag-horror","tag-indie-film","tag-mystery","tag-short-film","tag-supernatural"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26816"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26816\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26818,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26816\/revisions\/26818"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
