10 Fun Things You Might Not Know About Trick ‘r Treat
4) In several scenes in the film, you can see trick or treaters roaming around and collecting candy in the background. Due to the fact that most of those scenes were filmed very late at night, when actual children weren’t available to work, dwarves were brought in to double as trick or treating children!
5) The look of Rhonda’s house was modeled after the White home from the original Carrie – a hint at the fact that Rhonda would soon be seeking revenge for her torment, much like Carrie did. Particular inspiration was taken from the scene towards the end of Carrie, where the home is lit by various candles in the windows. In fact, in the original concept art, an image of Carrie’s house was actually used to depict Rhonda’s house!
6) Before Laurie chooses Principal Wilkins as her very first victim, her sister calls her up and tips her off to a potential “date” – a big fat dude dressed up as a giant baby. C. Ernst Harth was the man in the baby costume, an actor who had several years prior played the role of ‘The Giant Child’ in the remake of Thirteen Ghosts, a character who was also a giant baby – a fun little homage to another Warner Bros. property!
