“Trick ‘r Treat” with artist Audra Cohen
Description
</figure>It’s part two of our Halfway to Halloween celebration, as The Hallo-Rewind welcomes artist and ghost tour guide Audra Cohen, the creative force behind the show’s iconic logo. Together, they dissect Michael Dougherty’s Trick ’r Treat, exploring why it’s the ultimate Halloween movie, how its interwoven stories still reveal new details on every rewatch, and the cult status it’s earned over the years.
Audra shares their love for horror fan art and the influences that shape their work—from growing up on spooky stories and haunted attractions to a deep affection for the Saw franchise. We chat about how Jigsaw has a special place in their horror heart, their artistic process, and how horror inspires the way they create.
The trio also discusses dream horror crossovers, how Trick ’r Treat cleverly breaks slasher “rules,” and how Sam’s candy-powered bloodlust make him Halloween’s most adorable enforcer. And of course, we tackle the real questions—like how would Sam feel about trunk or treat? (Spoiler: probably not great.)
So leave those jack o’ lanterns lit, check your candy, and join us for a deep dive into this seasonal favorite.
