i sort of like it.

Although I admit that I know virtually nothing about the movie at this point, I will say that Michael Myers just doesn't have the same feel to him with his mask off. Seeing his face (with that beard, what the...) pretty much takes away from the whole experience for me, but...meh, I'll still see it. Should be decent.

youtube, youtube, youtube!

Michael with no mask on? I dunno about that, but im still willing to see it, i really liked rob's take on the first one

wow! please put his mask back on all bloody and messed up. i did just think of something though. hes gonna be able to mingle in a crowd now and people are not gonna have a clue to who he is and thats gonna make it scarier knowing they wont know its him but still its just not micheal without the jumpsuit and mask. im very mixed about this now. i loved the bloody mask but now its not even micheal. i hope and pray he gets his mask back at the end.

Isn't that a picture of Rob Zombie dressed like a vagrant?

I'm in LA, and no Halloween 2 trailer was attached my Crank 2 showing.

I really dunno about the unmasked Michael. Heck, I still don't know how I feel about Zombie's take on masked Michael. To me, what made Michael scary in the original was the visual simplicity. Average height, normal build, wearing a simple white mask that not only seemed not at all out of place on Halloween night, but that acted like a clean slate... there was no emotion to it, no feeling. It was sterile. When we finally see Michael's face in the finale of the original film, it too is pretty much the same. He's just a regularly looking guy, but nearly devoid of emotion. In the Zombie films, Michael is now an incredibly large, long haired (and now long bearded) guy, and the mask, while still frightening, I think was overcomplicated. The rot and tears in it... it worked, but not in the same way. For me, Zombie's changed Michael from a very simple, emotionless guy who could easily disappear into the celebrating suburbs on Halloween, to a guy who'd stand out pretty dang badly and who looks... well, like a homeless version of Rob Zombie. I will say though, despite my not really liking Zombie's ideas about the character, and thinking Tyler Mane is just a tad too big for the character, I do have to admit Mane did a decent job with what he had in the first movie. His body language was rather menacing, and at times he did remind me of the classic Myers. If they'd cut the hair, and had a director more suited for the property in charge, I think I actually would've liked his Myers quite a lot.

Looks like someone who sits in doorways smelling of Special Brew and piss.

Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMB

Alan Moore at large.

leech nailed it....it's a homeless version of zombie. Laurie is going to look like some Zombie groupie. His vision is so narrow that he can only recreate his own world on film.

I don't believe that. It is way too early for even a teaser trailer. They just finished shooting!

is that jesus...it looks like jesus

I still think this "new look" can work if it's handled right. Nevertheless, I'm hoping that 70% maskless deal is an exageration. Sucks about the very limited teaser release. I'll be watching closely for it online.

LOL. I can't seem to figure out who he looks like in that picture.

JESUS CHRIST! He looks like a tramp! I really hope Rob keeps him covered for most of the movie because i do not like this at all. How can you find that scary? It feels like he's just going to ask Laurie Strode for a nickel!

It's all relevant right now, cause we can sit and complain and pick apart this and any of zombies movies. I was a real fan of rob when I saw White Zombie a long time ago and if anyone followed the bouncing severd head over the years he has not changed or comprimised his vision. I have been reading a lot of what people say blog and bitch about but the bottom line is we won't know until we see . I will receive flak and comments but if you listen and follw the blogs this has nothing to do with hill and carpenters Halloween 2 it is it's own film so don't look at it like it's a remake of that, as to what it is rob's h2. There seems to be a lot of critics out there so for you see the documentary Hecklers and see what it means to be an artist with the world tearing your work apart. I will be in line Aug 28 th as will 99% of you .

OLD NEWS lol....the picture and the trailer news have been out for atleast a week.

he looks kinda scary in this pic AND looks VERY scary in the bloody masked pics. so far so good. i'm keeping my mind open. hopefully this will be awesome!

Want some good news? I just saw a brand-new photo of Michael and heard info from Rob himself that SHOULD make everyone happy. If it's not here, then go to Rob Zombie's official MYSPACE page. The photo, in my opinion...is awesome! The one here...ehhh, it's O.K.

I guess mike has turned over a new leaf.. He doesn't kill people anymore.. He just begs for money..and trys to clean their Windshield.

Yes, the pic on Zombie's myspace with hooded masked Myers is badass!! And him wearing the mask as much if not more than any film before is fucking awesome!!

I unapologetically love Rob's take on the first Halloween, as well as his original movies. Now that he is freed from the confines of a remake of another film and can take Micheal wherever he wants I am really excited. He has a way of making the viewer feel the killings that is just brutal. This should totally make up for the limp Friday the 13th remake.

I love it. It's been said before that Michael's pure evil in a human form, and to see him go to such lengths to create that outward appearance of "humanity" drives home how inhuman he really is. He's like the inverse of other people on Halloween. When others, clearly human, put on masks, they're hiding behind the guise of evil on one night. Michael, on the other hand, hides behind the guise of "humanity" every other day of the year, and when he puts his mask on on Halloween, he's becoming his true self.
