Rare ORIGINAL vintage education short film titled "TRICK OR TREAT" which explores the ethics of Halloween pranks and peer accountability.
Produced in 1969 by Dimension Films and the USC School of Medicine's division of Cinema, the movie follows a group of children navigating the rules of Halloween. It focuses on the consequences of taking a "trick" literally, highlighting the fallout from a destructive prank and how the kids must weigh the ethics of their choices against adult rules and accountability.
The 15 minute reel is in good condition, though the film has faded to magenta, as seen in our screen grabs. There is also minor perforation damage, though it's only in the opening 10 feet of film and NOT within the body of the movie.
