Is this some kind of fucking joke?

First of all, there is no comparison. The original is always 99.9% better. That being said, I do think they are 2 totally different movies. I'm someone that does not feel RZ damaged anything. His version was not great, but it wasn't bad either. Had he done a complete carbon copy of Carpenter's film, the scrutiny would be different. The fact that he introduced new characters and a backstory really separates them in my opinion. The original HALLOWEEN is easily one of the top 5 greatest horror films ever made.

only 3 people would say remake was better, rob, sherri and daeg lol

i would say that the remake was better so suck it mikey...i also agree completely with jonny that these two cannot be compared because of the two different directors themselves... although i do disagree with jonny about which is better i do agree that people should stop trying to compare these two movies!

my little sister has a crush on daeg lol i like the remake but it dose not compare to the original

I agree w/ these guys that the original is and always will be the better of the two. I don't think that the remake is as bad as they believe it is. I do agree w/ some of the things they said like the Make-up from the FX and all that. I also do agree that it was to white trash but it is 2 way different films and meant to be. The remake is good in it's own ways and I do think that it needed to be redone because it was over after Resurrection I mean that was so bad and what was next straight to DVD or something so it needed to have some kind of fresh new life even though some of it sucked and some didn't I did like Scout as Laurie and Malcome as Loomis. I am wondering if he will do better or worse in Halloween 2 (HOPEFULLY NOT H2)

Hallowen? what's that dude

I am one of the rare remake fans. At the same time the original is my all-time favorite. I went to watch the remake with an open mind and didn't want my excpectations to meet how I feel about the original because no movie is going to do that. And after watching the original 1,000 times(and sequels) I was more than willing to accept a new take on Michael and the Halloween franchise and once I knew Rob Zombie was attatched I knew I was going to get that. I enjoyed his previous 2 films especially TDR. So that alone made me expect that I was going to get a quality Halloween. Of course there are flaws in the remake that I wish can be a lil diff. but it wasn't enough for me to dislike it. I really enjoy the remake alot and as a Halloween fan I will continue to embrace Michael Myers and the Halloween franchise and in no way do I look at the remake and think that it disrespects the original or in no way does it ruin the original. The original will forever be apart of my (movie lovin) life and I can always go back and watch it and know that it stands alone..but it's a new time and I welcome Rob or who ever else to bring their take on it....So bring on H2!!!can't wait..Oh,and the battle between the 2..I would have to say the original reign supreme!!

i think it depends on what ur looking for. if u a true horror fane and looking for suspense and creepyness (like me)than the original is better. if ur looking for white trailer trash and tits and ass then the remake is better. ONLY SOME remakes like the ring exceed the original

Danielle Harris's boobs. That's all I have to say. FTW

Halloween Remake = Mike Myers as member of Slipnot. Thanks to everyone who's checked out our podcast, and thanks for all the emails! Keep em coming!

PS - The post IS sort of tongue in cheek. As you can tell in the podcast, we have a VERY strong opinion about which movie we feel is better...

Original's WAY better, because it was depicted the way the ORIGINAL creators intended the story to be. That was it, that was the true story. The new movie was a spin on that story, but the true story will always be the one from the people who originally thought it up.

What a joke....Rob Zombies Halloween is big pile of turd. I would rather watch BRIDE WARS in a 48 hour continuous loop then Rob Zombie's pile of crapola.

haha, i think some of you guys need to listen in to the podcast before getting so worked up.

haha...they fixed it to halloween now, it did say hallowen! :)

I wanted Zombie to do something awesome with his remake of Halloween. Instead, all he gave us was a fart on film. Now, I wish he would have left the original alone, but, just continue on from it with new sequels.

Wow, PIII said everything that I was thinking. That's exactly the way I feel too. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.

Have any of you seen the origional Halloween recently? Go and give it a watch. While I appreciate all the history behind it. and for its time, it was way ahead of the curve, It was BORING! I watched it about two weeks ago and my wife who had never seen it kept asking when it would be over. There is absolutely no character development. The writting and dialogue were mediocre. There were no jumps or scares. The music was annoying...famous, but annoying. I have fond memories of the film, but people watching it for the first time now are going to be disappointed. I havent seen the remake yet...It hasn`t come to Japan yet, so I cant judge.

The original is my all-time favorite movie! Yet, I still like the remake for what it is.

Where are these drunken note scans!!
