With Steve Buscemi as Melt Man! With the power to … erm … melt!

It's like sleeping on a Toaster Strudel.

The guy used a brutal slash-and-burn technique to take out a single target. He walked into a crowded nightclub and sprayed bullets from one wall to the other because he had absolutely zero regard for human life. It was frightening, and made the movie effective. Nowadays though, for better or worse, you just can't

Christmas is my favorite kind of carol!

D-TV Monster Hits.

I think what makes Trick r Treat enjoyable is similar to what makes It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown so timeless. The star of both is simply the day. Neither tries to focus on one character and put him in some creepy situation, it just sort of wanders around and observes the goings-on through several phases of

He was way ahead of me.  I didn't get to listen to a girl explain in ever more intricate detail how we would never go out with each other until senior year.

That makes so much stupid sense.

"Pretend I'm the pizza delivery guyyyy annnd! … watchmewhackoff."

 I could never figure out what the dudebuddy was saying when he wanted an M&M.  "Choc at me buddy"?  Like "beer me" but with chocolate?  "Chuck at me?"
