Ain’t It Cool News mogul Harry Knowles will moderate a panel featuring Dougherty (Superman Returns, X2) and members of the cast. The movies stars Anna Paquin (True Blood, X-Men), Tahmoh Penikett (Battlestar Galactica, Dollhouse) and Brian Cox (The Bourne Identity, X2). Trick ‘r Treat will be released on Blu-Ray™ Hi-Def and DVD and On Demand by Warner Home Video in October 2009.
