The WNUF Halloween Special cinematic universe is expanding with Trick or Treat with Reed Richmond.
George Stover reprises his role from the franchise’s second installment, Out There Halloween Mega Tape, in Trick or Treat with Reed Richmond, an in-universe spin-off presented as a regional TV broadcast from 1995 — complete with commercials.
Join cult icon Reed Richmond on a jack-o-lantern–lit journey through history and mystery as he explores the origins of Halloween and the most memorable monsters it celebrates. From witches and werewolves to vampires, mummies, and more—Reed and his ghoulish guests unearth the terrifying truth and fearful folklore behind our wildest nightmares in this eerie hour-long special.
Initially aired on the now-defunct Monster Planet channel in October 1995, Trick or Treat with Reed Richmond is a spine-tingling time capsule of basic cable creepiness produced just a year before Richmond’s participation in the ACE Network’s controversial “Out There: Alien Expose” program.
The film is available for pre-order on DVD for $31. Due out in August, it comes with a reprint of the October 1995 issue of What’s Your Damage? featuring an interview with Richmond.
Special Features:
- Audio Commentary with Head Archivist Chris LaMartina
- Audio Commentary with Reed Richmond Historian George Stover
- Bloopers and Outtakes
- Trader Tony’s Twisted Trailers excerpts
“I’ve joked that if the plan is to make WNUF a true trilogy, Trick or Treat with Reed Richmond is my Ewok Adventure,” WNUF mastermind Chris LaMartina previously told Bloody Disgusting. “It’s this weird little standalone project that’s not really a movie; it’s an honest-to-God one-hour special that you might find on the History Channel or Sci-Fi Channel back in the ’90s.
“It covers the origins of Halloween and the folklore behind iconic monsters such as Dracula, Frankenstein, werewolves, witches, and mummies. It’s very bizarre and I’m not sure folks will like it, but that’s how I felt when I created the original , so who knows. The movies just keep getting weirder, but I figure if I’m having this much fun making it, then we’ll find the audience it was meant for.”
