TRICK OR TREATS is a deservedly forgotten comedy horror film from 1982 that attempts to spoof HALLOWEEN but does so in perhaps the least funny way ever. The story is about a struggling blonde actress who takes on a one-night job as a babysitter to one of the most annoying brats you'll have seen in a while. Most of the screen time is made up with the endless repetitive pranks that the kid plays on said babysitter; they lose steam after about five minutes. A sub-plot involves a maniac escaping from a mental asylum, but this never really goes anywhere and is tied off in a 30 second scene. Mild interest is raised by the presence of familiar faces in supporting roles (including David Carradine, Carrie Snodgress, and Steve Railsback) but very little is made of them and overall this is a chore to sit through.
