Trick ‘r Treat Dominates the First Annual Straight-to-DVD Movie Awards

Writer/Director Michael Dougherty’s Trick ‘r Treat won four awards in our First Annual Straight-to-DVD Movie Awards, including Best Picture.  Dougherty won for Best Director and Samm Todd tied with Van Wilder: Freshman Year‘s Kristin Cavallari for Best Actress.  Trick also nabbed Best Horror.

Other winners include Cuba Gooding Jr. and Reece Thompson, who tied for Best Actor for Wrong Turn at Tahoe and Assassination of a High School President respectively.  Road Trip: Beer Pong won Best Comedy, while Best Family Film went to Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure.  Perhaps the most unsurprising win was in the Title-So-Bad-It’s-Awesome category, which went to Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus.
