Writer Mike Dougherty will make his feature directorial on TRICK 'R TREAT, a horror movie he wrote that will be produced by Bryan Singer, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures are teaming to co-finance, with Legendary's Thomas Tull and John Jashni on board as producers. Warners will distribute.

TRICK 'R TREAT is four interwoven stories that take place on Halloween with such characters as a staid high school principal who is a Halloween serial killer, a college-age virgin seeking that special guy, a woman who hates dressing up for Halloween and whose husband is obsessed with the holiday and a group of young teens who pull a cruel prank.

While filmmaker deals are still being finalized and no cast is in place, the movie has a tentative release date of Oct. 5, 2007. A fall shoot in Vancouver is being eyed.
