We Are SAM APPROVED! Watch Our Sam: The Soul of Halloween Unboxing [Video]

The icon of the modern Halloween classic Trick ‘r Treat, Sam is back with brand new animated shorts, illustrations, and more from creator Michael Dougherty, who officially launched Sam: The Soul of Halloween this month, coinciding with the ongoing 30th anniversary festival and independent theater screenings of the new 4K restoration of Dougherty’s 1996 short that introduced Sam, the animated Season’s Greetings, including at our own Halloween International Film Festival this weekend on the Outer Banks, NC, and someone special has taken notice, because we just received the most unbelievable gift ever. We are officially SAM APPROVED!

Along with some cool new Sam shirts, stickers, and other hallowed paraphernalia, we received a handcrafted Certificate of Approval to our Halloween International Film Festival from the soul of Halloween himself, Sam, in recognition of everything we have been doing here at Halloween Daily News for the last 14 years and through our independent film festival.

“By virtue of this distinction,” the certificate proclaims, we shall “remain under the protection of Sam throughout this Halloween season. For now.”

Don’t miss your chance to see the new Season’s Greetings 4K restoration on the big screen, playing with the new post-apocalyptic Halloween horror feature film Hallowarrior and more surprise tricks and treats from Sam, as the closing presentation at the Halloween International Film Festival, screening on Saturday night, Oct. 24, at Roanoke Island Festival Park on the Outer Banks, NC. Tickets are on sale online here.
