October 29, 2024 Alex DiVincenzo Arrow Video, Home Video, Michael Dougherty, Reviews, Trick r Treat

She blows out the lone jack o’lantern and whines to her husband Henry (Tahmoh Penikett) about taking down the decorations on Halloween night. Moments later, she gets her comeuppance and […]

Scream Factory, working under Dougherty’s supervision, has now restored those excised bits to deliver the definitive “Naughty Cut.” […]
