Bring back Scout Taylor Compton.

This is just another shining example of how film studios will do anything to rake in more money. A sequel to Rob Zombie's Halloween? I honestly haven't heard a worse idea since they decided to remake the original Halloween... not that Rob Zombie's version was terrible or anything, but let's face it; it was a bad idea.

Honestly I think this SUCKS but only for one reason. I submitted a script to them for a Halloween 2 and was in talks w/ Trancas about maybe using the script but oh well. I wish them all the best luck and maybe Michael will come back in a HUGE WAY!!

I just don't see how its possible. We all know how Zombie's ended... so now what? It could go some different directions but I think it would just start to become ridiculous.

I Think Zombie Killed Him For A Reason, So It Would Save His Art Work, Just Like Killing The Firefly Family, What Are They Gonna Magically Come Back Too?

Really all they have to do is Copy the style, the atmosphere, and the brutality that they used perfectly on Inside and this will be the best horror film of the decade.

Zombies Halloween was terrible. I like Devils Rejects and House of 1000, but Halloween was just not for Zombie. Its a very different kind of film that Zombie tried to do in his style and it just didnt work, not to mention the "mtv" style of camera work he used was just plain bad. Lets bring back Curtis and go back to the original style of JOHN CARPENTER'S Halloween.

Hell Yeah cpanthers I agree Scout did a great job and that Scream is just amazing!!

Scout sucked in the remake. I just wanted to bash her head in with a baseball bat. >:(

It will be amazing to see what Bustillo and Maury can do with a sequel to the EXCELLENT Rob Zombie's Halloween.

I liked-not loved- Rob's version. Scout SUCKED!! Without a doubt. No question. HATED the ending. She freaks out and goes insane?!! And WHY show Danielle's breasts?!! We saw her as a child in 2 previous films. It felt unnecessary and perverted. The original is sacred ground and NO ONE could top it. I am up for a "new" Halloween 2. I mean-if I could sit through 5,6 & Resurrection: I can sit through a re-imagined Part 2. Could it possibly be as bad as those films?!!

Best news all day!!

Well it could be better than RZ's. I'm a big myers fan, so ill see it.

the next one should play as if its a sequel to the original halloween and not zombies.

i dont even remember how it ended. but dont continue it. there beating a dead horse. This has probably been repeated lots but much rather see a VS. movie then anything else then another remake and or sequel.

id rather a continuation from the john tate storyline left from h20 with michael after him

I liked Rob Zombies Halloween, because sometimes I just like to see my favorite icons become far too overly brutal and suddenly have the ability to crush ceilings like butter. That being said, I really don't think we need a sequel to that. A for the "miracle" of him coming back from an apparent death...WHAT? Is a horror icon surviving an apparent death a surprise??? I just hope it doesn't take a Jason-like twist and have him rise from his grave. THEN I say we start burning down studios.

Glad to see they are going ahead with a sequel to one of the most under appreciated horror films of the last few years.Bring back Scout too, just don't keep her doped up in a hospital room for most of the movie.

Michael Myers becomes a hermit drag queen who chronically masturbates to amputee porn...

It was bound to happen, Zombie's movie made money. I would see #2. But PLEASE !! NO COMING BACK FROM THE DEAD CRAP !!

IDK if they make it gory and scary as fuck instead of cheese like the others then we will be good. only carpenters, and robs were truly scary everything after that was so so and just mindless fun.

It's about time! o and Jonny Horror, of course he's coming back from the dead...He's the Boogyman.

As long as good old Michael Myers keeps getting some screen time, I'm up for it. Zombie's version, was nothing compared to the original, but how could it be? It NEVER was going to compare. So i took it for what it was, Michael hacking shit up. Which is always cool. Hated Scout though. She was fucking annoying. And I agree with "Friday Part 7 Rules!!" about Danielle Harris's boobies. I felt vaguely paedophilic watching her. It was pointess having her topless for MOST of her scenes! Don't get me wrong. I LOVE me some boobies...but it was a but much. I was just "WHY ROB? WHY?" So..where to go with the next installemnt? Hmmm, i dunno. Would they remake the original Halloween 2 and set it in hospital? Could be cool. Or will they go a different way all together and set up a whole new series? Just as long as it is treated with respect. But damn! How the hell are they going to bring him back without him being legally braindead. NO ZOMBIE MICHAEL!

YES!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HALLOWEEN 2!!!!!!!!! I ALREADY KNOW I'M GONNA FREAKIN' LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inside fucking DESTROYED, so a sequel with these two crazy bastards as the directors would be epic.

we need a NEW REALLY GOOD STORYLINE for the sequel, with originality, and this could beat easily Zombie's version of the film

I agree with Mr. D. They should better go the Eddy Norton route and do "The Incredible Michael Myers" (Scary, Menancing, well developed characters - at least 2,5D, improved photography) and completely disregard the sh*tfest that is RZ's Halloween. (My personal opinion)

Zombie's version wasn't craptastic. A lot better than I was expecting tbh.

Besides, I don't think Bustillo & Maury really love the Zombie's version, they are really fans of Carpenter's classic (like us, uh ?) so... Wait & see. The thing I hate about that, it's the fact there comes to USA to make some remakes from Dimension Films & cie... There is no other destiny for foreign directors in States ?

I might regret sayin this, but I think this is great news. "Inside" was fuckin amazing!

i agree with irving, they should just do a sequel to tie in halloween 4-6. explain the dr. weiss thing. i didnt care for scout either, im sorry she aint no scream queen or jamie lee curtis.

forgot to add y is it that noone wants to try and tie up the lose ends of sequels/stories? like again like i said halloween 4-6. noes ya we all know that freddy was a child molester and killed the kids tie up that. and ya i know that they did lil bits of it in freddys dead.

Rob Zombie's Halloween was a huge let down... And I had PLANNED to love it! Would rather they do a sequel unrelated to it - even a straight to DVD sequel to Resurrection (tying up Halloween 4-6 is fine)... But it seems unlikely that the two Halloween franchises would coexist. :(

For the most part, I didn't like Zombie's Halloween. However, there were some great moments in the film, especially in the Workprint Version. Hopefully these cats will provide more of those moments. I don't understand why people are so mad about a sequal, atleast we'll get to see Michael for another 90 minutes. My only wish it that they'd continue the storyline from 4, 5, & 6. Pleatherface out......

If they were to do anything with a halloween sequel, they should just get Zombie to do it as his image of myers was more brutal and imagitive and in some way realistic to wat a killer would be like so i say zombie should do it if it were to happen

i just saw tyler mane at a con this weekend and he kinda hinted this was going to happen. i personally cant wait. i loved zombie's halloween, though i believe it shouldn't have been soo zoomed in and shaky. but i like these directors, and i would love nothing more than to see a sequel a.s.a.p/ i hope they bring back Danielle Harris also, i just love her.

Rob Zombie's awful "Halloween" continuity? No thanks. Rob Zombie destroyed one of the greatest horror icons of all time. See you in Hot Topic, Mikey.

I hope they will ignore Zombie's film. Nothing in 'Zombieween' is worth revisiting in a sequel. Not even Myers really. I'm hoping they'll just start the film with The Shape happening upon babysitters and leave it at that.

just tying up, re-explaining, filling out what was avoided but shot for 6 would be great. But as unlikely as anything I can think of. A Sequel to RZ Halloween is fine, and I agree to not have to follow other sequels. No HOspital, blah blah. I just really want to see more Michael in the ward, as a youth. As the kid what played him is older now,bang, later years. And Show him getting closer to what he became. Maybe like in a number of his comic books, some early murders as a youth that no one could really connect to that "poor" nearly comatose patient. But ...nah. Wont happen. But that's what I'd say they should take from Zombies, the history, early michael stories. Face it, that's what we havent seen before, I"m all for more of that.

Am I hallucinating or did someone say let's tie in 4-6. I think I just vomitted in my own mouth. Yeah, those Oscar winning sequels! Good grief people get a grip. You knew that if Zombies re-imagining made money, another sequel was coming with or without Rob Zombie. Zombies movie wasn't great, but wasn't bad either. We quickly forget that if the original Halloween was put out today, it would suck as is! It was great in 78' but couldn't work today. It's too seminal by today's standards. Zombie had to re-invent the wheel and should be given credit. What was he supposed to do. I guess he could have followed up those Oscar winning sequels that took place on farms complete with Barn parties. Or for that matter, follow up the classic Internet, Kung Fu Michael Meyers. When did Haddonfield become a farming community anyway? Yeah those movies where a skinny actor playing Michael, complete with funny non-Myers looking mask was created by the stars and phantom strangers break him out of jail. I wonder what his bond was? Maybe the stranger could have called a bondsman rather than kill all of those cops. Classics, I say! By the way, even John Carpenter bailed out on H2. He knew that there was no way to top the original, but he took the royalties and ran all the way to the bank while others ruined his creation.

Seeing as Rob Zombie basically took a shit on all that was the original halloween when he did his 're-imagining' the news that there is a sequel, although it doesnt suprise me, is yet another slap in the face to the fans of the original. It kind of depresses me when people say 'as long as it gets Michael back on the big screen'. You're really willing to compromise the horror icon that WAS Michael Myers for the two-bit, generic Myers that RZ imagined? Forgive me, but I have taste and would much prefer to throw in a DVD of the previous Halloweens than spend an hour and a half imagining ways to put RZ out of his misery.

My spider sence is tingeling on this one.

I thought Rob Zombies new vision was good, it wasnt incredible like the original but it was good. I didnt want a remake back then, i thought it was completely unnescasary but rob zombies movie was if nothing else entertaining. As for a sequal, i think it couldnt hurt. The French dudes seem to know what they are doing and it may final take the series in a NEW direction that hasn't already been done. It cant just be a remake of the original part 2 because the remake ended differently, so i think its the best thing for the series right now...hopefully they have some good NEW ideas to bring to the table and start something different with Michael Myers.

whats up with all the rob zombie haters i loved his version of halloween of course carpenters is the original and the best but at least zombie kept everything from the original and also he made micheal badass again and he also showed what happened thats why i dont understand people they bitch about remakes but when someone actually makes a kick ass movie they still bitch about it . so yew i think a sequel to halloween will kick ass but thats just me i would rather see a good kick ass slasher flick than a piece of crap family movie or another pg 13 i want my blood sex and violence . and i was raised in the 70s and 80s but you know what i say bring back the classics like my bloody valentine and friday the 13th and halloween 2 and piss on all you whining lil bitches that want to complain about remakes

Oh no! I was just thinking and saying earlier last week(not on this site though) that there probably would´nt be a sequel and that it should´nt, I only saw the workprint of the remake but judging from that it was rubbish, definitely one of the worst if not the worst horror remake I´ve seen. But it looks like these new French directors have potentials so I´ll just wait.

Ya know, everyone is saying (well not everyone) that RZ's Halloween sucked and all this but can you imagine if they continued the original series? What would have happened after Resurrection? Michael in Hell or space what? Personally I think it would have went straight to Hell. I think the new Director's would work great an a re-imaging of Halloween 2 wouldn't be a horrible thing. Honestly RZ's Halloween isn't a great film but it isn't a bad film. You look at Halloween 5, 6, and Resurrection they were not good at all RZ's Halloween was better than those. I submitted a script for Halloween 2 and am waiting to hear some news on it. Now I don't know if these new directors are also then official writers or not but we will see. I just think we need to stop hating on RZ's Halloween cause if you watch it without the original in your mind it really isn't that bad of a film. We could have had a straight to DVD Halloween or some really stupid Hall9ween film. Anyway I think we need something really good to compete w/ the upcoming Friday the 13th and I hope for the best for the film and franchise.

I think this is a good idea. There is no point in starting over again, just continue it with a new style.

Sigh...things should have been left alone after H20. It was a great reboot, while at the same time it closed off the series. Unfortunately for us fans, the studio's goal is to make money. If they really cared about Halloween, do you honestly think we would have been treated to Parts 5 or 6? or even the concept of "The Thorn"??? They know us "fanboys/girls" will go out and see/rent this movie because we are addicted to Michael Myers. They also know we are gonna check it out just to see if the last one can be outdone (and considering how horrid a couple of the sequels have been, that isn't all that hard). All in all, it just makes me sad.

they don't need to be ruined by american filmmakers! let them continue with their own shit! how about an INSIDE 2 instead???!?!?!?!

I liked Rob's Halloween. I liked it better than any of the sequels after the second one. BUT, one of my favorite things about it is the ending where she BLOWS HIS FUCKING HEAD OFF. I think that it's a strong ending, and Robs way of keeping it from becoming a new franchise that would decay like the first did. If anyone can pull off a sequel, it's these guys, but I would SO much rather see their Hellraiser, or better yet, something original from them.

Resurrection destroyed the series, the only thing Rob did was inject life back into the series, and as long as Myers is out there on a rampage, I'm pretty sure I'll be there watching.

PLEASE PLEASE ignore Zombies film... opne of the worst films I have3 EVER seen. YES I thought it was that bad.

HOW ABOUT JUST MAKING SEASON OF THE WITCH II: RETURN OF SILVER SHAMROCK

I'd read all the comments before mine, but let's be honest.. we all know what they say. Anyway, the original Halloween series was beaten into the ground and had nowhere left to go. Zombie did his and killed him off(like he should have been after part 2 anyway). So yeah, continue on with your assumed hate fest, hope your asses and wrists don't hurt from sitting here typing too long :)

sure this is great news until they flip to a new project or they do this one a can't make lightining strike twice, it's happened before.

How do we know RZ killed Michael Myers? Did we see where the gun shot him? No, we didn't how do we know it shot him in the head it may have got his shoulder remember he grabed the gun before Laurie shot it so maybe at the last ditch sec. it got his shoulder.

Wow. Inside gets reviews prettier than diamonds, and when news comes that they want to do a Halloween film, people bitch. This is why I believe that if anything got fucked up over the years, it's our own damn fault. It's just as bad as the F13 fans who flocked whenever Jason was shipped off to some bizzare location, only to cry outrage when he's brought back to Crystal Lake.

i liked zombies version we got to see the early years of myers life i think thye should do a movie witch laurie strodes son john gets to battle his uncle ,dont bother doing a 2nd one coz that will just turn in to another not wanted remake!

im all bout a sequel. why not? zombie restarted the franchise. if you like myers why not see more? same w freddy and jason. if you really liked them you would want to see more. the last few sequels sucked but we all watched them and love them. why? Cuz its michael, freddy and jason!!! fuck all you haters!!!!

I thought Rob Zombie's Halloween was one of the best sequels (re-imaginings) I have seen in a long time. Bring on 2!

Rob Zombie's Halloween sucked...bad. I like the new directors and I am glad to see a sequel in Hollywood horror. Excited!!!

I agree RZ's Halloween wasn't soooooo bad as everyone says. I agree the original series is done it was time to end it and like it or not RZ's Halloween is the NEW beginning for the film. I don't want to see the franchise die or go back to the original series including Laurie's Son John Tate that would have been ok following H20 or Resurrection but there is no going back in my opinion. The Franchise has been RESTARTED anf has new life. If we didn't go this way Michael would have went straight to DVD or Hell one. I think a sequle would be great. If the bring back Laurie (Scout), Loomis (Malcolme), Brackett (Douriff), Michael (Mane), & Annie (Danielle). Keep the story going. With the way RZ's Halloween ended I think they should maybe do a revamp or imaging of the original Halloween 2 but make it different. Make Michael even more aggresive and ruthless. I dont know but I do think it is to soon to start a new year and a new Halloween w/ Laurie 2 or 3 or 4 years older. The night isn't over, the horror/evil is still out there walking among us.

Figuring as a 4year old could make a better Halloween than what Rob Zombie gave us, it couldn't be any worse right? *shrugs*

"Where should the franchise go from here?" The garbage can. Leave it be! He is dead. And why is everyone bashing Zombie's film? I thought he did wonders to the franchise, I enjoyed his version more so then any other previous film (maybe except for Part III which is still my favorite in the series).

What in the hell? Why "re-imagine" anything or "continue" any of the other movies other than Zombie's film? If another re-imagine came out everyone would bitch "it wasn't as good as the original," just like they did with Zombie's. I believe the new movie should start right where the other one ended but it should take the franchise in a different direction. I'm with "betz1369" people will see it because it has the Halloween name.

yah, agreed, i just wonder, will michael be missing an eye

Pick up the sequel where Rob left off, but please just no running around a hospital for most of the film like the original H2! And keep Danielle Harris as Annie!

I've said it before & I'll say it again. RZ"s Halloween sucked more than Megamaid's vaccuum. May the ghost of Donald Pleasence take you all!!! As far as a new Halloween II. "That's probably the worst idea since New Coke"-----Free Enterprise.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH HALLOWEEN SUCKS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"He waited with extraordinary patience. There was a force inside him, biding it's time.....he didn't talk, he didn't cry, didn't even move...he just waited...waiting for some secret, silent alarm to trigger him off"-----Dr. Loomis.

Where are you horrorchick81? I'm seeking to find you!!!! "All she can do is take you straight to hell"----Pumpkinhead.

Another worthless piece of sh*t movie? Oh boy. Do something original! Hollywood sucks.

I don't think it's worth making as the first one went so wrong. The problem with the first remake is that over half of the film is about Myers' back story to explain why he is psychotic. In my opinion that is where the film (and other upcoming classic slasher remakes - Friday the 13th, Child's Play and A Nightmare on Elmstreet will all go wrong) went wrong. By all means give the killer a motive but traditionally horror slashers were about a sentence to summarise their madness then killing after killing after killing (and if the film was any good some suspence inbetween. Micheal Myers is a psycho, end of. Jason Voorhees is a mumma's boy, end of. Freddy Krueger is a pedophile seeking revenge because of the parents, end of. Charles Lee Ray (Chucky) is a strangler who needs to get out of that dolls body quickly! End of. We don't need anymore back story than the oringal and that's why Rob Zombies Halloween didn't work and why a second film seems a little pointless.

Only two positives I can see: 1. They can't make a film worse than Zombie's remake. There is nowhere but up to go. 2. The directing duo did a nice job on Inside so hopefully they could do something of quality with this sequel.

Any opportunity to see Michael on the big screen is welcomed by me! I know there's a lot of remake haters here, but come on. That franchise wasn't exactly Lawrence of Arabia before Zombie came along!

I just hope its not in subtitles. I just can't stand having to read the words.

To be honest I'm all about more micheal. The problem with Zombies vision was trying to show Micheal was once a normal child. He wanted to make a serial killer movie with Halloween in the backround and come around with Halloween in the second half. The way Loomis explained him in the first and the scene in Halloween 2. Personlly I think they should redux the whole fucking thing and give us Micheal the way we want him. Let the Shape live

Scratch that the way Loomis described him was not the Zombie version we got. Making Micheal talk was a bad idea and really the ending could work. It doesnt show where she shot him just the blood. It could work. Zombies vision wasnt bad really there was no way it could have succeeded.

As long as there's no ridiculously understaffed hospitals and annoying as hell ambulance drivers in this one, I'm up for new writer/directors.It certainly can't fall any shorter than Zombie did with his take.

I say bring it on! The new Myers was badass, made old Myers look like a pussy but the film was nowhere near as good as the original Halloween. I thought it was better than all the sequels though but that's just my oppinion. How the fuck do they bring him back though? The only way i can think of is if they don't really explain it like in H2O. Oh and for the ppl moaning about 4,5,6 (even the producers cut) those films sucked, fucked up the series (along with 3) and they don't deserve a true sequel! Let them die already!

PLEASE DO NOT TIE THIS IN ANY WAY WITH ROB ZOMBIE'S REMAKE; HE RUINED THE SERIES BY TURNING IT INTO TORTURE PORN!

This is one of those situations where if they don't get the concept right, it won't matter how good the execution is. The original franchise is dead. It died with Laurie Strode and "DANGERTAINMENT!" As disjointed aas Zombie's film was, it was still head and shoulders above most of the sequels. I have faith that the team behind Inside can do something unique with the character, but it really has to be set in the universe that the last film was. They cannot set it in a hospital because Dimension doesn't own the rights to Halloween II.

Wow, when Halloween comes up the nerds get vocal. haha. Rob didn't ruin anything, it was a good movie in it's own right. No one on earth can lay claim to the remake being worse than any Halloween sequel after #2. Period. Where ever thes guys decide to take the series, I'm interested.

So.....we're going to see a part II to this piece of shit after all. I guess the $58.2 mil bomblet from 2007 wasn't enough of a sign to nail the coffin on this idea. Remember that 58 mil is subpar by today's inflationary stub prices and below almost all of the high profile horror projects that studios have pushed in the mainstream movie community (in Zombie's case, shoved down our collective throats). ROB's "vision" most definately underperformed at the box office. So what I wonder, do these 2 guys think they can bring to the table.....These boards just got a lot more interesting.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWN. Boy, somebody sure did suck the life out of Hollywood's creativity. Let's make another sequel cum remake to a piece of crap film that shouldn't have been made in the first place. Where are those Guinness boys to yell "Brilliant!" when you need them?

Great news! I enjoyed RZ's Halloween for what it was: an exploitation film. What were you haters expecting, seriously? I'm glad we'll be seeing more of Michael Myers. He's in great hands. Here's a quote from Bustillo and Muary talking about their approach to making Inside scary: "JULIEN MAURY: Thank you. It was very important to give this ghost aspect to Le Femme. From the beginning we worked with our DP Laurent Barès. We told him we need some dark corners on the frames and dark places, but really dark – black, where you can see nothing. We wanted the audience to have the impression that she could be wherever there was darkness. I think it worked because of one of our favorite sequences is behind the couch when Sarah (Alysson Paradis) is falling asleep with the television on. La Femme is behind her coming at her floating like a ghost, coming closer and closer and then Sarah [suddenly] wakes up and she disappears back into the darkness. This sequence is the expression of what we wanted for this character. She is like a ghost [who can be] everywhere and so the danger can then be anywhere. ALEXANDRE BUSTILLO: It’s like in Halloween for us too. We are big fans of this John Carpenter movie. In this moment of the movie Julien described, Beatrice is like Michael Myers in that she is only a shape, no body and just a white face. This was a little homage to Carpenter’s Halloween."

It didn't show him die, it was just implied. It could be worse, a dog could piss fire on his grave to re-animate him.

the funny thing is nobody seems to remember Michael getting shot in the face at point blank range with a 357 magnum in the original serious... I think a sequel would be great. RZ halloween was not anywhere near as bad as resurrection. besides the original halloween 1 & 2 always seemed like one movie to me so why not do it again? How do you just submit scripts? I've been having soooo many ideas and scripts but I never knew you could just submit them.

I appreciate Rob Zombie's enthusiasm for the genre, but he really should just be a producer and put up the money for someone with more vision to direct. His version of "Halloween" was overly brutal, unrealistic far beyond what any horror film should be (Michael busting through oak doors...DUMB), and NOT scary. Hopefully these guys can take Halloween more in the direction of the classic where being creepy and understating the gore leaves more to the imagination and makes the scares more unsettling and real. And when will they do a slasher movie that follows the life of the killer...I think that would be an interesting take on this genre that seems to be floating dead in the water.

I think when they made him die in the remake he shouldn't stay dead because he got stabbed and it didnt slow him down. He is a monster. GO MICHAEL

RZ's Halloween wasnt THAT bad, come one, it was better than the abomination that was Ressurrection, it was Halloween done through his eyes ie loaded with white trash characters. It was brutal but not very scary so hopefully the sequel will make Myers scary again. If thats possible. Would love to see him portayed the way Carpenter first did and thats mysterious and a touch supernatural

Honestly, I think that Rob Zombie's version was awsome! One thing's for sure, it had way more violence than the original and I think I preffer the "new mask" of Michael Myers. THEY SHOULD NOT BE DOING A SEQUEL TO RZ'S HALLOWEEN!!! That was suppose to be just a remake of the original,and Rob did a great job! Don't add anything to the story! It ended really well and I hope it stays that way! THEY SHOULD DO A SEQUEL TO RESURRECTION INSTEAD,MAKE A HALLOWEEN 9! If they liked Rob's version so much, they can just use the "new mask" of Michael in a sequel of Resurrection! I'm a big HALLOWEEN fan and even I think its a bad idea to continue Rob's story.COMMON! RZ'S HALLOWEEN WAS NOT MEANT TO HAVE A SEQUEL!!!

"Why now? You've waited ten years, don't go to Haddonfield. If you want another victim, take me. Leave those people in peace, please Michael....god-damn you"-----Dr.Loomis.

58.2 million dollars is not a "bomblet." You have to realize that films these days are judged by how they did in relation to the budget. Rob's film cost less than 15 million dollars, and it went on to make almost 80 million worldwide. That doesn't count the 40 or so million dollars it's earned with DVD sales, and the monies it will earn when it goes to cable this fall. This film made it's money back and then some. There is no way that Malek Akkad and Dimension will let anyone even think of making a sequel to the original franchise.

Hhhhmmmm.....A challenge. Well, let's get right into it then, shall we..... Stepford Wives-$59.4, Amityville-$65.2, Chainsaw-$80.5 The Haunting-$91.4 (all remakes that were released before ROB's little underperforming piece of shit when ticket prices are rated less due to inflation. Shall I continue..... Saw 4-$63.3 Saw 3-$80.2 Saw 2-$87.0 Dawn of the Dead-$59.0 Freddy v Jason-$82.6 Halloween, Halloween 2, H:20, and Resurrection-all higher grossing when adjusted for inflation which is universally accounted for in the industry when calculating the ACTUAL NUMBER OF TICKET STUBS SOLD and therefore the actual number of people who went to see a movie. ROB's turdling did 60% of its business in it's opening labor day weekend frame(most probably due to the push that the Weinstein's, NOT the Akkads, gave it in the mainstream media). To put it into perspective for you.....All of the geniuses with custodial rights over he michael myers character got a bright idea fresh on the heels of this horror revival to go gonzo brutal with the Michael Myers character, hoping that they could at least break the 80 million barrier as leatherface, freddy, and jason had recently done. Henceforth we were privy to an extreme media bombardment with this piece of shit that we have rarely seen for this type of movie before. Why...you ask? Because the Weinstein's and the Akkads had little stars in their eyes and teepees in their shorts about milking the cash cow with one of the most iconic characters in the genre coupled with one of the more controversial (if not talentless) directors whose star was supposedly on the rise. The end result.....why don't you look up THE PRINTED QUOTE out of Bob Weinstein's mouth that was uttered after the opening weekend receipts were made public. If you can't find it, I'll show you where to look. Not a pretty picture to say the least. There is no way that the Akkads turned the franchise over to the Weinstein's expecting that it was going to perform like the omen remake, and that's EXACTLY what happened. Look it up if you don't believe me.

Hello Sauron. Been a long time. Hope you are well. As I'm sure you remember, I was very much on the fence with the re-imagining. I was against it at first and realized that a sequel to Resurrection wasn't the way to go either. So I climbed on board and took a wait and see approach. I could take or leave the new Hallloween. It was certainly better than 4-Resurrection, but couldn't come close to the original. It was okay for me. A little too much perversion and trailer park language, but again at least it wasn't a farm setting, Thorn, Karate, let's break Michael out of jail sequel. I couldn't take any more of those. As for the french guys...I dont know much about them or their work. I'd be curious what they come up with. Michael Myers is cash cow no matter which way you slice it (pardon the pun). Unless you do a Michael in space ala Jason, it will make a profit and that is all the studios care
