Yes, you are right. The series is absolutely dead. Even before H8 it was dead. Busta Rhymes was an absolute comedy routine in a terribly contrived idea. Here's the thing, H6 had pretty good daytime atmosphere and Daniel Farrands had some pretty interesting script ideas that got vetoed by the higher ups (read: Malek et al). The Producer's Cut is FAR FAR superior to the theater version but even that ending blew it in the final 20 minutes as opposed to the original script. Back to the business at hand. You are right that we wont be getting anyother movie unless we swallow (literally and figuratively) this piece of crap. Carpenter while his flame has been long perceived as extinct has flirted with a sequel idea then keeps avoiding it either due to salary conflicts or the desire to just let the original stand on its own. Bottom line just end this thing, remakes, reworks, revisions, retarded creative visions are not going to salvage the Myers name right now. Maybe years down the road something can be done (F13 has seen a recent upswing in popularity though I dont have any impending desire to see Myers on a lunar colony testing the quality control of vacuum hoses) What absolutely pisses me off here is that Rob Zombie is the complete package in terms of stupidity. We have a below substandard musician (yeah, yeah) who runs around society prophesying about his stupid little "the world doesn't understand me, I am not the light, evil rules etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum" and comes off with every utterance out of his mouth about "reinventing a horror classic", "correcting inconsistancies and things that don't sit right in the original" and so on and so on. Zombie never paid his dues, has absolutely NO, ZERO, NONE creative vision but yet comes off like his word is gospel and HE will usher in the new era of the franchise. Puh-leeze. PPUUHH-LLEEEEZZEE. So while I respect your opinion, which is saying a lot comparde to others who've posted in the past, and you DO make some valid points, this whole thing is setting up to be another disaster. Plus the fact that Zombie makes me want to vomit evereytime he saunters onto MTV w his fake tougha$s demeanor complaining about just about every sociallly established tradition. As I said before, set the da%n thing in Haverhill and we can call it the RobZombie story and wrap it up in a nice little hallmark tv moment.
