Rob Zombie Taking on Halloween (Page 1 of 2)

This is by far the best thing that has happened to this franchise of films. If anyone can get the interest back its Rob Zombie.

I look at this as a whole new movie with a whole new antagonist.  With Zombie at the helm it will be plenty scarry and strange to sure.

Zombie's grasp of the camera and screenplay is incredible, I'd love to see some of his great creative style mixed with the old "cha cha cha cha..." sound, to quote Ned Flanders, "Sounds spine-tingly-dingly."

As soon as Halloween went past the fourth installment it flailed in the water and pretty much drowned creatively, no rapper fights, so Rob will surely bring it back to the visceral style of the old ones, and hopefully some great deaths, I wonder if he'll continue the tradition of a "he's not dead!" ending in this one.

The thing with Halloween 3, I've heard two accounts of how that came to be.  One was that the company suddenly felt they had a bust on their hands and put the Halloween title on in hopes of getting money.  The second I believe John Carpenter told that after H2 there was an idea going around maybe Halloween could be some kind of a horror anthology with different movies about things going around the time of Halloween.  3 is evidence that didn't work out.

Onto za main topic.  I have never listened to Rob Zombie's music but The Devil's Rejects just blew me away of how good he was at directing.  It was very gritty, bloody, and raw...something I like in my horror movies and it had a very old school feel and look to it.  So, I think Zombie will make Michael someone to fear again.

Halloween III is a cool movie IMO. I think the public would have accepted it better if it were simply named "Season Of The Witch"

agreed. I enjoyed the movie just not as much as I should've because of the name.

Only one I really remember was H20 and it wasnt to bad.... it was a fun horror movie.

I never really got into the Halloween series. In fact Halloween III is pretty much the only one I like if that tells you anything. I haven't seen all of them because the ones I have watched just never caught my interest. But, I am willing to give Rob Zombie's version a shot. I really enjoyed House and Rejects, so it will be interesting to see what he does with it.

Just found out who's gonna play Micheal

So far the casting seems solid.  I'm really excited to see this how this movie turns out.  I just don't get not releasing Halloween on Halloween though!

I really can't  wait to see the zombie take on Halloween, I love his heart love'n 70's twist on horror, our minds, terror in general.

I'm so looking forward to seeing this movie and its kool to see Rob brining some of the actors he used in the devils rejects and house of 1000 corpses and also halloween..
