I'm not sure you lot have watched Trick r Treat recently.
I admit it's been over a year, but I remember distinct stories involving different themes, families and other assorted. On Wikipedia it says about the film that "It centers on four Halloween-related horror stories. One common element that ties the stories together is the presence of Sam, a mysterious child trick-or-treater wearing shabby orange footie pajamas with a burlap sack over his head, who makes an appearance in all the stories whenever a character breaks Halloween traditions."

For me, that is enough to put it into the anthology rather than hyperlink category, but if you feel different than you are more than welcome to leave it off your list!
