Zombie's HALLOWEEN grossed more than any other film in the series (and more than most other horror releases of 2007), so it's ludicrous in the extreme to suggest that Dimension somehow "f**ked up" the franchise's theatrical earning potential with it. If anything, the fiscal success of Zombie's film made it possible for a theatrical HALLOWEEN II, whereas it's questionable how much a straight sequel to RESURRECTION would have taken in even in a strong economy. That said, I'm okay with DTV sequels once we get beyond the next movie. Good or bad, it's highly unlikely the new HALLOWEEN II will match the previous entry's box-office tally, and I'd much rather see the franchises survive and thrive DTV than be ended forever. The real irony here is that all of you "experts" who complain so much about remakes, etc., have a much better opportunity to show the professional filmmakers how it's done with the DTV market, since it's much cheaper and easier to make and distribute your own film in that arena. Of course, why would you ever want to do that, when you can prove how knowledgeable about film you are by just griping on message boards and comment pages?
