[Interview] Lauren Lee Smith Talks ‘Trick ‘r Treat’, Sequel Hopes, and Halloween
The modern masterpiece Trick ‘r Treat has quickly become an annual tradition for many horror fans and Halloween enthusiasts, and we talked to Lauren Lee Smith recently about her memories of playing Danielle in the anthology film, and how she feels witnessing the rise of Sam merchandise, and being a part of a legacy that will only grow with each new generation, and her thoughts on the inevitable sequel and what her character could be up to now.
In our exclusive video conversation last week, we also of course talked about Halloween, as Lauren reveals she has always had a passion for the holiday, which she is now proud to pass on to her horror-loving daughter, and much more.
Written and directed by Michael Dougherty (Godzilla vs. Kong, Godzilla: King of the Monsters), Trick ‘r Treat weaves sinister stories set on the same Halloween Night in the same town: a high school principal moonlights as a killer; a kids’ prank has grave consequences; a young virgin’s search for the right man turns horrific; Emma and her husband learn the cost of ignoring Halloween rituals (aka not following the rules); and a cantankerous old man faces Sam in a terrifying showdown.
Lauren’s character Janet is part of the “Surprise Party” storyline, in which she costars with Anna Paquin as Laurie, Rochelle Aytes as Maria, and Moneca Delain as Janet, all of whom are hiding something vicious under the skin.
