Sam is back this Halloween season with the brand new graphic novel Trick ‘r Treat: Witching Hours, which was funded a couple years back by Trick ‘r Treat fans over on Kickstarter.
The new graphic novel from Legendary Comics and Rocketship Entertainment is now set for release for everyone on October 13, 2026, and you can check out the cover and trailer below.
This marks the first all-original Trick ‘r Treat graphic novel in a decade, presented by Trick’ r Treat creator and director Michael Dougherty.
Trick ‘r Treat: Witching Hours features four brand-new, original stories centered around everyone’s favorite mischief-maker, Sam. The stories are brought to life by a talented group of creators, including writers Michael Dougherty (Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Trick’ r Treat: Days of the Dead), Zach Shields (Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Trick’ r Treat: Days of the Dead), Todd Casey (Trick’ r Treat: Days of the Dead), Breehn Burns (Trick’ r Treat movie, Trick’ r Treat: The Haunting), and Curtis Waugh (Stegosaurus, the Moistest), with artistic contributions from Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night), Breehn Burns (Trick ‘r Treat movie original concept artist and comic illustrator), and Tristan Jones (Mad Max: Fury Road comics).
The lineup of new Sam stories includes…
ONE LAST HALLOWEEN
At a rundown nursing home, a group of lonely patients summons the spirit of Halloween in order to celebrate one last spooky holiday together, with unexpected and frightening results.
DID YOU MISS ME
When a man returns from the dead on Halloween, he’s given one night to find closure and reunite with his beloved wife, only to discover a horrifying and tragic secret.
HARVEST MOONS
Far across the galaxy and untethered from the now-defunct roots of Earth, a group of kids on a conservative space colony will discover that Halloween is more than a long-lost tradition.
HALLOWEEN COUNTRY
Deep in Wyoming corn country, three ranch hands break up a strange occult ritual and find themselves hunted by a half-formed creature straight out of Halloween folklore.
“I’m thrilled to return to the twisted world of Trick ‘r Treat for more of Sam’s mischievous adventures,” said writer/director Michael Dougherty. “This new graphic novel is a true labor of love, created by a top-notch team of writers and artists, and I can’t wait for fans to join us for the best Halloween party ever.”
