Back in that article, we let you know that extras from the previous DVD and Blu-ray release will be ported over and more new interviews are underway with director Michael Dougherty very much involved. More specifically we told you that all-new extras and specs were still in progress and would be announced "later in September."

This will be branded as a "Collector’s Edition" that will come with a slipcover guaranteed for three months after its original release date. The newly-commissioned artwork (which you can check out in its entirety below) is Director approved and comes to us from Devon Whitehead. This art will be front-facing and the reverse side of the wrap will be a theatrical art alternative that Mr. Dougherty asked if Scream Factory could include.
For those of you who may have forgotten, TRICK 'R TREAT follows:
Interwoven stories demonstrate that some traditions are best not forgotten as the residents (Anna Paquin, Brian Cox, Dylan Baker) of a small town face real ghosts and goblins on Halloween. Tales of terror reveal the consequences of extinguishing a Jack-o-Lantern before midnight and a grumpy hermit's encounter with a sinister trick-or-treater.
TRICK 'R TREAT Collector Edition Blu-ray via Scream Factory hits October 9th.
