10 Best Hidden Gem Halloween Horror Movies

6. Trick

Tales of Halloween
RLJE Films

Receiving a release in October 2019, Trick sees a mysterious masked killer resurface each Halloween and add new bodies to their kill count.

That killer? That's Trick, aka Patrick Weaver, a young man whose opening act murder spree seemingly ends in his own death. Is it possible that Weaver really is alive and behind these subsequent annual Halloween slaughter sprees? If so, how did he survive what we saw in the film's opening? Either way, Omar Epps' detective - the man who thought he'd killed Trick in the first place - is determined to catch a killer that's evaded him for several years.

Away from its plot, Trick also has one thing guaranteed to put a smile on the face of many a long-time horror hound: the brilliant Tom Atkins! Of course, Atkins is a huge favourite thanks to the likes of The Fog, Creepshow, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Night of the Creeps, and Maniac Cop, and he's likewise joined here by Scream fave Jamie Kennedy.

Surprisingly brutal and with a nice whodunnit at play, Trick is very much worth treating yourself to as part of a Halloween viewing session.
