Sometimes I like to do a rough sketch of a shot before handing it off to a much more talented artist to flesh it out. The school bus sinking being a great example of that. @trickrtreat #Halloween pic.twitter.com/519WKXMGP7

More amazing @TrickrTreat concept art by @Breehn and @SimeonWilkins1. Visual development is easily one of my favorite parts of the process, and their work played a huge part in getting the movie greenlit. #Halloween pic.twitter.com/9lAXsqinqw

Other than GINGER SNAPS and the werewolf queen in THE HOWLING, there weren't a lot of female werewolves on the big screen, which is where the idea of a pack of female lycanthropes came from. Why should guys get to have all the fun? @TrickrTreat #Halloween pic.twitter.com/TL3lT6iwea

Brian Cox's @TrickRTreat storyline was meant to be the Halloween equivalent of A CHRISTMAS CAROL, with Old Mr. Kreeg being Ebenezer Scrooge. Only instead of being visited by three ghosts, he's visited by the spirit of #Halloween himself: Sam. pic.twitter.com/Mj8p2FvTqL

I was always bummed that #Halloween didn't have a singular mascot character like Christmas had Santa or Easter had the Easter Bunny, which is partially where the idea for Sam came from. @trickrtreat pic.twitter.com/kRl6RZffXf

I also always felt bad for Linus. Waiting in the pumpkin patch all night for the enigmatic Great Pumpkin to rise. Always knowing he'd be disappointed in the end. But what if Linus was right? And the Great Pumpkin, or his equivalent, was real? pic.twitter.com/WnKI8MeWrZ
