Trick or Treat

On a chilly Halloween night in the quaint town of Maplewood, a group of childhood friends reunites for the first time since high school. As they reminisce about their adventurous past, they decide to relive their favorite Halloween tradition: a mischievous quest known as “Trick or Treat.” What starts as a lighthearted journey to reclaim their youthful spirit quickly turns into an exploration of buried secrets and unspoken fears.

Leading the group is Jess, a fiercely independent artist grappling with the disappointments of adulthood. Her best friend, Sam, now a down-to-earth schoolteacher, struggles to balance her nostalgia for the past with the pressures of a mundane present. The lovable goofball, Mike, provides levity but harbors feelings for Jess that he’s never revealed. Then there’s Lila, the enigmatic new age guru, whose eccentricities mask her troubled childhood, and Ethan, the former high school star athlete whose life took an unexpected turn.

As they traverse the town, knocking on doors and dodging mischievous pranksters, they uncover a series of bizarre occurrences: strange symbols etched on the streets, disquieting tales of a vengeful spirit, and the town’s eerie history tied to an unsolved mystery from long ago. Each candied treasure they collect holds a deeper significance, provoking poignant memories and unresolved tensions. The closer they come to unveiling the past, the more they realize their childhood fears are far from fiction.

Driven by themes of friendship, the passage of time, and the lingering shadows of the past, “Trick or Treat” blends horror, humor, and heartfelt moments. The friends must confront their fears—both personal and supernatural—while navigating their complicated relationships with one another. As they team up to face their inner demons and the vengeful spirit threatening the town, they learn that sometimes the greatest trick is facing the truth about themselves. Will they survive the night and rekindle the bonds that once tied them together, or will the secrets of Maplewood tear them apart forever? Join this thrilling, heartfelt journey filled with laughter, chills, and the magic of rediscovered friendship.
