@@camron147 Honestly, I never thought he captured the spirit of Halloween. This might be a hot-take, I don't mind being in the minority.

@@camron147 Michael Myers doesn’t really fit to be a mascot for Halloween sure he kills when it’s Halloween but that’s it because his more of a boogeyman than a killer on Halloween to be honest
Sam is the best and most adorable horror monster ever, for me at least. He's so monstrous, but still so sweet, I adore the little shorts made over the years too. I'm so glad CZ is covering him :D
Sam is my favorite Horrormovie-character, simply because he is something different, original instead of just another supernatural monster or emotionless serialkiller
It's really unsettling with the contrast of cute to horrifying with Sam. And I can't help but love him for it. It's also rather refreshing, as others have pointed out, how he's not just some other supernatural powerhouse or a mindless serial killer. Instead he's just a spirit upholding traditions and it's nice seeing him be friendly to those who keep to that tradition. Here's hoping this video can help the movie, character, and franchise grow in popularity.
13:45 “I’d rather be a monster than a man like you.” I cannot express in words how much I love that line. Seems a bit odd for Sam to put up Jack-o-lanterns outside Krieg’s home, since they are protective. But it may be a bit of mercy, given he did celebrate a bit, or just telling the other spirits, “This one is mine.” Either way, his goal was to aggrevate Krieg, and he did.
I believe since he had upheld the tradition of giving candy in the flash back but was interrupted by the child driving them off a cliff, Sam gave him a chance to get back the spirit of Halloween before it was to late like the creator states. But he doesn’t. And in a twist of fate, after Sam tries to m*rder him, because his lilli-knife stabbed the candy, the character was spared. That line though was great though.
You know i don't think it should these days evey movies even bad ones have sequel and complicated lore so if you just want to spend time with your friends and family, instead of trying to understand complicated lore you can just watch a scary movie
Personally I never heard of it but when I finally saw it, I thought it was one of the coolest horror movies ever. The intertwining story lines was a seriously unique idea
I think I recall an animatic where Sam is terrorizing somone on Xmas, before Krampus comes in and chases him out by whacking him with a broom, like shooing a naughty child off of his turf.
Ok something you then might not understand. Samhain, was a celebration of end of the year. It originally ran over 15 days ending the "wicker man" the actual burning of dead children and a young woman no older than what would be 15. There is modern term to show what Samhain and a part that goes with tha album done by the band Samhain, album name "November Coming Fire" it has a reason behind it. NOVEMBER coming Fire is the Last night of Samhain for the year. BTW on my grandmother's side the family was originally Irish moved to Scotland under Cromwell's force, so understand I was born under the morning of the November coming Fire.
@@caolanochearnaigh9804 it's NOT misinformation it's truth. Did years of studying for truth. So if you don't know what you are talking about go learn. It's why movies like "The Wicker Man" was written and twice done. It didn't just exist from "Ireland " Hence Stonehenge. Picts Celts, ect. So go learn the truth.
not fun fact: “changlings” were normally babies with genetic disorders (ie, down syndrome etc) that affected their physical appearance, and because medical science wasn’t was it is now they thought that “their real kid” was swapped at birth with a “changling” it’s actually really sad
I'm working at spirit halloween this year and I get to see a lot of different people who just really love halloween and it's adorable I met Sam's #1fan the other day, an elderly woman who was buying so much merch. She said it was her favorite film and she knows her husband might be tired of it but she still wanted to buy as much Sam as we had. Aside from going on about how adorable he was she also went on to say that she loved the werewolf scene I love meeting elderly horror fans
My elderly neighbor loves Halloween but he got to old to decorate so I always give him a pumpkin from my garden or a small ghost decoration every year for all those years he gave me candy.
It did so good to connect 4 separate storylines. Felt like a better scary stories to tell in the dark. *it’s been a while so I don’t remember either vividly*
This is one of the most underrated Halloween Horror of all times. It is slept on on so many levels. Sam is one of my favorite characters and I love the stories and how they all connect.❤❤
Why are sooo many people saying this in these comments? What make's you people think Trick R' Treat is underrated? Because it definitely isn't. Sam has some of the most merch I've ever seen of ANY horror character. He's mainstream. I know sometimes fan's like to believe that what they like is "underground" and they like it that way, but this film isn't one of them lol.
I can’t be the only person to think Sam is absolutely ADORABLE! I feel like part of it is that, yeah, he looks like, and has the mannerisms of (aside from murderous thoughts) a regular 5 or 6 year old… ok, and that costume is kinda cute. Makes me think of a “little brother or cousin we all had”
I've been waiting for a sequel to this for years. It was announced a decade ago and has been in development since last year, but hasn't been officially greenlit. Factor in the strikes and who knows if it will ever actually happen. It's a shame because this movie is a gem. The School Bus Massacre is my favorite segment from it.
Personally, I wish they'd just not. Sequels are never as good and most of the time, they're not even just ok. They always end up making the franchise look stupid, and the attempt just comes off as desperate and all for the money. Obviously, it is all for the money because it's a business, but damn, just no! lol I don't even understand how they'd do a sequel. Just make another random horror anthology and shoehorn Sam in there? I mean, I guess that could be ok, but seems like it'd be your typical Tales from the Crypt, Creepshow, Tales from the Darkside, etc... with Sam wedged in there.
I'm from Ireland and have an unnecessary love of Irish culture/traditions, especially anything to do with the dead. My level of delight that CZ got everything pretty much right has made me so happy! 😭 One thing is that sídhe doesn't have a direct English translation! It normally is used to mean fairy or fairy mound (which is another term used for burial mounds)! 🥰
I love the fact that a kid actually dressed up as a devil john at the end of the haunting of jake and Sam segment,I know it’s off topic but still a cool Easter egg.
O' Hallow's Eve is actually October 30 and Samhain/Halloween October 31 and then finally All Saints Day when the spirits that celebrated with the living go back behind the vail
I've often tried to explain the rituals of Halloween to people after watching Trick or Treat and no gets it until hopefully now. I will refer anyone who is looking for lore on Halloween to this video. Awesome awesome awesome job.
Charlie broke the rules, by taking other kids' candy, and by smashing jack-o-lanterns. Consequently, he decided that Wilkins was doing his job for him.
Trick r Treat was such a great horror movie for it's time! If I remember correctly the ending had Mr.Kreig hand out candy after his attack from Sam only for the kids from the Bus crash come back to him. Another great video, hoping for that sequel for this movie!
Sam is one of my fave halloween "protagonists" i mean yeah he does kill people but its not that hard to have the halloween spirit and making it out alive. I am Mexican/Honduran born in the states and truth be told, i was more influenced with Mexican culture since i found i was half like two years ago. Anyways, Dia de Los Muertos has always been a big part of my life and something i always look forward to more than Halloween. Its a beautiful tradition that brings our community together by remembering our loved ones even more. This holiday helped me to realize that Death shouldn't be feared as its part of life (as long its not brought upon by a living being). For a celebration thats all about Death, its brings such comfort and it does make some people uncomfortable. Some people look at Santa Muerte is a deity that is used by bad neighborhoods who practice dark rituals and affiliated with cartels which sadly tarnished our Lady of Death's image. She is a deity that protects, brings good health and wealth, and guides our loved ones to the afterlife. What im saying is that i think Sam would love this celebration. He is a deity who watches over October festivities. Its also amazing how many different cultures have different celebration during this time of year and have some similarities. Its truly amazing.
All things considered, for me personally, the fun never ends this time of year. I was born and raised on Halloween and my godfather is Cubano. So I get the best of both worlds. I love Dio de Los Muertos!
I viewed Trick 'r Treat the first time a couple of years ago and instantly thought of Sam as fae. It makes a lot of sense given his actions in the movie. It's cool to see that touched upon in the video.
OMG, I literally did a comment where I mentioned asking to cover Sam on Horror History a month ago. Didn't know it would end up becoming a reality. Thank you Zac. 🎃🕷️🕸️🐈⬛🦇🖤😈🍭👻💀
I love trick r treat I only saw it this past year and Sam is both adorable and everything I love about the holiday. It’s basically why it was my favourite growing up! Spooky, folklore, treats, parties, pranks, mischief all happen on Halloween! 🎃
Thank you CZ's world for doing this video on one of my favorite horror characters of all time. It's safe to say that Sam is iconic and adored by many. Hope you are having a great spooky season Zack.🎃🤘
This was SO fun! Thanks for digging into the extra media I didn't know existed. Sam definitely strikes me as an old god like Crom Cruach or a diminished faerie king like, Balor the chaos god. His diminishment was both literal and figurative as he became more childlike in stature and nature.
Wish there was more media available with Sam... More movies, comics etc etc a better franchise than the current batch of shite exorcist and 'halloween' movies. Sam is a character that we can all love🎃🎃🎃
People said the same thing after Halloween 1 and 2. Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street... etc. The more content you put out of ANY character the more watered down and repetitive it get's. What make's you think Sam wouldn't end up in the same position if we got way more of it like you want?
@@Remmy0930 i can see your point but Id just like to see more of him. A bit more exposure. Maybe another movie but not 10 of them. I went to see the new Scream movie and I can't remember a thing about it 😂
The way the stories in this movie were all threaded together was absolutely brilliant. This movie is so underrated. I LOVE it as a Halloween movie, and scary movie in general.
I love that Sam and Trick r Treat are getting the recognition they deserve! Also you're fucking amazing and the detail and research that goes into all of your videos is PHENOMENAL.
When I was a kid we used to carve turnips (actually a swede or rutabaga in the US) at Halloween to carry around with us when we went 'Halloweening'. Pumpkins and Trick or Treating didn't become popular (in my area of England at least) until I was too old for it but pumpkins are sooooo much easier to carve than a turnips! x
This quite literally has to be the greatest roll CZ has ever been on. Freddy (which we all waited god know's how long for), Art the Clown and NOW Trick R' Treat Sam. CZ has single handedly made this spooky season farrrr better. 🎃👻
Well I sure hope they get to make another one. I was so impressed with the film back when I first saw it but being older, wiser and learning so much about all the lore from this video gives me a deeper appreciation. I'm curious to see how what story they'll come up with.
I love these History / Lore videos. I'm from Shetland and this is the first time I have ever heard Guiser (which we spell Guizer) out of that context. The pronunciation is identical. Mind...blown!
Whether Sam is Good or Evil (as with many ancient deities) depends on where your morals lie. If you honor his rules and respect his traditions, he will do no harm. But if you break his rules, you must be punished. Sam had no reason to go after Wilkins as he followed the rules. If anything, he would have gotten Charlie, had Wilkins not taken care of him first. He also had no reason to save Wilkins as Laurie also followed the rules. The only reason he's there is because the werewolves are throwing a kickass Samhain party and he's vibing
Sam reminds me of a kid Jack Skellington. Both based off Jack O’ Lanterns and Skeletons. Halloween has never had its own Santa Clause but these two are up there.
I just bought the blu-ray (new) at Goodwill for $3.99. It was probably one of the best Halloween movies I've seen in years and years. (If not, the best). I plan on watching it every Halloween from here on out.
I have never ever heard of Sam until I watched this video. Great work. This is brand new to me. I'm going to see if I can find those old animations. Sam is a cool character.
5:06 what? Halloween's official mascot has always been David S. Pumpkins. What does he mean there's no mascot for halloween? Didn't we all grow up with David S. Pumpkins?
Here in Newfoundland, Canada we still have mummers but it occurs around Christmas. We dress up and go door to door with our "ugly sticks". A good time is had by all!!
The only reasons Wilkens didn’t draw Sam’s ire for poisoning that bully is both due to him properly following the candy tradition with the other kids…including Sam himself…but also due to his actions being balanced by his killing essentially balancing the Halloween Karma of the act. The bully was smashing pumpkins if I remember correctly, among other things. If not Wilkens…then I’m sure Sam would have caught the lad
Alright, thanks for another cool video, especially one like this. My Birthday is on Halloween day and being such, it’s my favorite holiday and time of the year. I always look forward to the shortening and cooling of the days along with the spooky television shows that come along with the month of October. Not forgetting to mention the kinds of feasts that the end of the year is know for. Thanks again for the video, I really enjoyed it. Take care and happy Halloween to ya. Peace.
My first run in with 'Samhain' was The Real Ghostbusters in the 1980s, he was a pumpkin headed Halloween related spirit & an actual powerful threat. Wonder if this played a little inspiration?
"Trick r Treat" has been one of my favorite Halloween movies and traditions through the years. I had no idea there was expanded material in the form of comics and short films. This and "May" are criminally underrated and ignored Halloween films.
I love how Sam isn't a typical evil villain. He can be your best buddy, or your worst nightmare if you break the rules.
Yup he’s evil imagine not knowing the rules and just wanna dress up and boom ur dead
Or both if you try to take Sam in bed.
@@andy56dukybro he's got the body of a child, I don't care if he's thousands of years old he still has the body of a child.

Well I sure hope they get to make another one. I was so impressed with the film back when I first saw it but being older, wiser and learning so much about all the lore from this video gives me a deeper appreciation. I'm curious to see how what story they'll come up with.
I love these History / Lore videos. I'm from Shetland and this is the first time I have ever heard Guiser (which we spell Guizer) out of that context. The pronunciation is identical. Mind...blown!
Whether Sam is Good or Evil (as with many ancient deities) depends on where your morals lie. If you honor his rules and respect his traditions, he will do no harm. But if you break his rules, you must be punished.
Sam had no reason to go after Wilkins as he followed the rules. If anything, he would have gotten Charlie, had Wilkins not taken care of him first.
He also had no reason to save Wilkins as Laurie also followed the rules. The only reason he's there is because the werewolves are throwing a kickass Samhain party and he's vibing
Awesome video man
I like how Sam gestured “Offering excepted,don’t make me come back here again” and then he basically supervised Kreil to make sure he kept his end
Dr. Loomis pronunciation of ‘Samhain’ never gets old😂😂
He actually wanted Sam to look like a mix between a pumpkin and baby fetus. To maintain that childlike wonder of Halloween.
You always make great horror vids
Sam reminds me of a kid Jack Skellington. Both based off Jack O’ Lanterns and Skeletons. Halloween has never had its own Santa Clause but these two are up there.
I just bought the blu-ray (new) at Goodwill for $3.99. It was probably one of the best Halloween movies I've seen in years and years. (If not, the best). I plan on watching it every Halloween from here on out.
I have never ever heard of Sam until I watched this video. Great work. This is brand new to me. I'm going to see if I can find those old animations. Sam is a cool character.
5:06 what? Halloween's official mascot has always been David S. Pumpkins. What does he mean there's no mascot for halloween? Didn't we all grow up with David S. Pumpkins?
Yay, I love a CZ upload day 😅
Happy Samhain to those who still celebrate it by that name like me
Samhain and Yule are the only seasonal festivities I DO celebrate.
I love Sam I can’t wait for more about him . Also I love in the movie how the old man still gets what’s comin to him
Can't wait for trick or treat 2 😊
Me2
I haven’t seen your vids since last Halloween!
CZ you are the best man ❤️ love the work you put in
Trick r Treat has become a favorite since hubby introduced me to it a few years ago. I love this! I hope they don't CGI Sam in the sequel.
Sam isn’t as much a villain as he is a supernatural creature who only punishes the ones who break the rules.
I love how this movie has turned into a classic. It's hard to believe it's 17 years old now, 17 years before '07 when it was released was 1990.
Here in Newfoundland, Canada we still have mummers but it occurs around Christmas. We dress up and go door to door with our "ugly sticks". A good time is had by all!!
32:30 Haha that's awesome. I was there that night when they first showed Trick r Treat in theaters. Awesome event.
The only reasons Wilkens didn’t draw Sam’s ire for poisoning that bully is both due to him properly following the candy tradition with the other kids…including Sam himself…but also due to his actions being balanced by his killing essentially balancing the Halloween Karma of the act. The bully was smashing pumpkins if I remember correctly, among other things. If not Wilkens…then I’m sure Sam would have caught the lad
I love Trick R Treat. It's one of my favourite horror movies. Sam is a great villain. Great video Zac
So good as always.
Sams chill bro, he doesn't care how you celebrate, just aslong as you do you're good
Alright, thanks for another cool video, especially one like this. My Birthday is on Halloween day and being such, it’s my favorite holiday and time of the year. I always look forward to the shortening and cooling of the days along with the spooky television shows that come along with the month of October. Not forgetting to mention the kinds of feasts that the end of the year is know for.
Thanks again for the video, I really enjoyed it. Take care and happy Halloween to ya.
Peace.
18:49 fun fact the actor who playing the peeping tom also plays sam
I noticed that Sam cut the old man's calf like how the baby from pet semetary cut juds ankle
I've been waiting for a sequel
My first run in with 'Samhain' was The Real Ghostbusters in the 1980s, he was a pumpkin headed Halloween related spirit & an actual powerful threat. Wonder if this played a little inspiration?
I didn’t get into the show until after it aired but I absolutely loved all the characters the stories. This was a great recap and intro
This is the best Halloween ever! 🖤🧡
i love how sam was kind enough to play catch with that dad it made my day
Candyman or Jeepers creepers would be cool to see covered
"Trick r Treat" has been one of my favorite Halloween movies and traditions through the years. I had no idea there was expanded material in the form of comics and short films. This and "May" are criminally underrated and ignored Halloween films.
