We still can't get enough of Trick 'r Treat and were happy to see Michael Dougherty return to that world last year for a number of FEARnet holiday shorts featuring Sam. There hadn't been any new releases this year, but Sam came back just in time for Christmas:
FEARnet, the cable industry’s premier genre network, is giving its audience an early Christmas present today when it begins airing a specially produced ‘holiday-themed’ interstitial by Trick ‘r Treat’s writer/director Mike Dougherty and Zach Shields (Dead Man’s Bones.) The interstitial stars the Trick ‘r Treat cuddly pumpkin-filled character Sam, who not into mischief not only on Halloween but during Christmastime, too.
Sam doesn’t act alone in this festive interstitial but has the help of a little girl in creating snowmen of all shapes and sizes. In true horror fashion, these Sam-created snowmen are just that…real men (victims) encased in snow!
“This interstitial is our way at FEARnet to wish our audience a Happy Holidays,” said Sarah Shannon, Director of Programming, FEARnet. “Michael and Zach both captured the true spirit of Christmas in this production, and we love that at the end they remind us that FEARnet’s Trick ‘r Treat 24-hour Halloween marathon is only 10 months away!”
