Tom Atkins Gearing Up For Halloween 3?

Last we heard about Halloween 3D it didn't sound good. Scout Taylor-Compton had come out and said she thought it was a dumb idea. So it would be some feat to release a Halloween 3 without her. It could be done but would they really try and do it... Apparently not.

Tom Atkins recently spoke with Fangoria about his upcoming role in Patrick Lussier's Drive Angry and the topic of Halloween 3D came up. “They’re still looking for the money, but it’s pretty much set to go this December or early next year. Me and Scout Taylor-Compton are both going to do it.” And his role in the sequel? “Sort of like a Dr. Frankenstein—‘It’s aliiiiive!’ No, I’m a shrink in a mental hospital that Laurie [Taylor-Compton] is in with a bunch of other girls who have been up to no good. I’m trying to help them find a way to the light.”

So it looks like Scout is pulling a Rob Zombie here and taking the job. I guess she saw that "fantastic script" she mentioned in her last video and decided to jump on board. Well since this is coming directly from Mr. Atkins this must be what is going down. Keep it here for more as we follow this one closely.
