I think he looks AMAZING

new michale looks pretty cool. but the old mask seems a lil spookier still, there just something about the way the eyes look ?

I have to agree with you, Mr.D.

OMG HE LOOKS F****** scary. the mask looks very good. damn this is going to be one hell of a movie! i cant wait any more :(

What's so hard about getting that mask right, FFS? Still, it's much better than most, if not all, of the others since the original. What's all that shit on the mask - blood? It's hard to tell. That wrestling guy is still far too broad and bulky to be playing Myers though, IMO. As for Little Mikey, he looks like the kind of kid you'd want to punch just for being a sullen-looking little shit.

I like how the mask looks filthy. It seems more real. I have alot of hope for this film. I liked House of a 1000 corpses pretty well. Devil's Rejects is one of my fav movies, and so is Halloween. If any version of Halloween ever had the hope to be as good as the first one is Rob Zombies version.

WOW just wow... the shape has never looked so good since the original... i am just speechless... the shape looks scary as hell.....i know if i saw that thing walking towards me i would run faster than anything...i am very proud of zombie. now hurry up and finish the movie !! lol i cant wait.

OMG NOW THATS WHAT I"M TALKING ABOUT! AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Mr.D!

FUCK YEAH! They stuck with the classic look with only minor tweaks.

OMG Thats the most beautiful,evil thing.Thankyou MrDisgusting.

Finally for once, Myers is actually scary! I never thought that could happen.

Pretty cool, quite grunge. I just hoped the mask would have been a bit cleaner looking.

That's the way he should look. Way to go Rob. Finish this movie Pronto!!

jesus christ...he ACTUALLY looks frightening. WELL WELL WELL done Rob.

I think he looks exactly the same as he did in the other 8 Halloween movies, only this one is a re-make of a classic and Rob Zombies gonna butcher it better than a butcher butchers meat.

he looks like a gaybird.

With that photo of adult Myers, Zombie has single handedly restored my faith in his movie. Michael looks fucking amazing. I have bashed rob a lot, but im gonna give him kudos with this one. GREAT!

What is amazing about this? It looks exactly the same as all the others, but dirty. Wow, my ass just got blown away....give me a break.

I like the new michael yes looks a little dirty but kool looking .

yes, a gaybird.. with extra dirt and a receding hairline little mike has more hair than the bands did back in '78.. he must a really cool 9 year-old. now fuck you all :)

I think the look is great...in line with the classic Michael Myers, but darker. I don't like to overdo things here, but in reality if someone endured any activity in a white mask, its bound to get dirty...much less a killing spree. So I think its good that Michael is dark and dismal looking. The loose-fitting jumpsuit hides Tyler's size. I look forward to the release, upon which we can all legitimately critique this film...to hail it as amazing or label it as trash prior to viewing the finished product is premature, regardless of who was making it.

SICK!!!! This is exacly how I wanted Micheal myers to look, great job Rob...keep it up

kiddie michael is an ugly little beast. kind of looks like anna nicole on a bad day.

the new micheal myers loosks cool

Looks kill-tacular.

I am sooooo happy! They *might* actually do this remake right!

I won't comment on the film since I haven't seen it, but if this is any indacation I have some faith. Tyler looks awesome as Michael. He looks damn scary.

Michael looks exactly the same....only he seems to like to jump in mud puddles now. He does look a little better than he did in the last few sequels. Young Michael just looks like some idiot skater punk though. Mike looks cool....but I'm still gonna boo if I see him run or speak.

i think he looks like a modern frankenstien-its way cool

Got goosebumps when i saw this. This is an awesome look, Michael looks truly menacing once more. Young Michael looks fantastic too, those eyes...... Please keep this remake close to the bone, those rumours of Michael Speaking as an adult must be squashed! Good luck RZ, hope this movie is a winner and re-energises the Halloween franchise.

ok i am never gonna bash this movie again. my faith has returned for this movie cuz micheal looks sick as hell. major kudos for rob! i love the realism on the new michael. except for lil micheal, he looks anoying for some reason like if i want to punch him in the face, but for big micheal he looks awsome.

Michael looks pretty damned cool. But "young" Michael looks crap. We shall see...

Killer. The new adult Michael looks like a cross between the "One Good Scare" comic book, H6 (The Curse of MM), and the original. He's a huge, messy, steroid frenzied freak. And the young Michael is pretty cool too. From what little tidbits I've heard about from the script it sounds like he's batshit insane.

I woke up this morning puking my f#$king brains out, and I swear I thought ROB or one of the little myspace legions tried to put a little hex on me to shut me up for a couple of days.....Anyway, I must RREEAALLLLYY be sick because I'm actually gonna give ROB props. Adult Myers does look pretty damn good. Not really like the original, as advertised, but still better than most, if not all of the sequels. My first reaction at scrolldown was.....very scary. Maybe this will lead to a kinder, gentler Sauron.....A Sauron where the entire world can embrace in their benificated (not a real word) epiphany that all is not lost, A Sauron who will support and compliment ROB, giving praise and positive feedback to encourage our Mr. Zombie in his efforts. At least until I feel a little better. But hey, Myers does look really good.

man the new micheal myers looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the new micheal looks scarier than any other micheal myers in any of the previous halloweens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So cool, it looks like the original and the one from Resurrection, alot more emotionm but the eyes are smaller.I think this remake will be so awesome ill so be there opening night!

All i got to say is that the new michael looks AMAZING!!!!!! Finally michael myers is scary again. Young Daeg Farch also looks creepy as young michael. I give props to Rob Zombie for doing an fantastic job he is putting into the movie. Cant wait until it hits theaters.

The spanish answer to winona!!!

Wow, I think he looks great. He is definately menacing. Sauron, I about feel out of my chair. I was certain you would rip this to shreds, but you shocked me. YOU actually paid RZ a compliment. Good for you. Maybe you'll give this movie a chance the more details we see. This movie could turn out to be a scary film,, there really is a chance we ALL will be surprized with the end result. Keep the pics coming. Great job.

Oops, I mean "fell", not feel.

Terrible ..just terrible ...people don't seem to realize that there is no way this movie can succeed...look at the little kid!!!! ...and remember the casting listings? ...Michael masturbates to an album of dead pet kills?...his mom and sister are whores?...need I say more?...that's crap!...not to mention that ugly green house...this movie will fail and anyone who is excited about it is an idiot and doesn't know a thing about good movies....oh btw..Rob Zombie also has yet to make one.....it's just gonna be another house of 1000 corpses only in Haddonfield...he's ruining Myer's legend...not to mention Mcdowall is no Pleasance and everyone else is just bush leagues compared to the originals...it'll be a grimy trailer park movie....

It looks too ghetto. I see where Zombie is going with this but I don't like it at all. One of the main things that made Myers scary was that he was the "guy next door". If he's deranged from the beginning it's just another slasher flick. Boy this is going to fail. They shoulda just started where 8 left off. No way I'm going to see this. I love the series too much to believe this will be part of it.

New Michael looks awesome. How can people look at pictures and say its going to be ''a bad movie''. Grow up.

Looks like Leatherface.

Well I think He looks pretty Scary compare to the pass Mask's that He had in H20.But I think the movie will be great and I'll be there 1st day.

Lol, you haters make me laugh. You haven't even seen the film yet, so you can't even begin to judge, wait till the end credits roll, then give your moneys worth. And true Halloween fans such as myself shouldn't be grumbling at all - Michael Is back and we sould be excited. oh and plus, don't beleive everything you read on the net, most of the 'scripts' you people have read are trash or early drafts. I have every faith that RZ will pull this movie off, look at Batman Begins, look Casino Royale - 2 remakes/re-inventions that blew the box office away, it can be done, save your negativity untill you've seen the final product.

KICK ASS!!! Let the blood flow

And the tide continues to shift... Gradually, the modest skeptics begin to find hope and the haters find themselves outnumbered and alone. After all, how many times can one scream the phrase "the kid masturbates" before it becomes abundantly clear that they are fixated on something that adults probably shouldn't spend so much time thinking about? Watch the momentum continue to build for this film, and by the time it is released, those of us who predicted its financial success will be sitting back and reveling in the true haters' misery. The mask looks great. Is anyone else hoping for a teaser trailer with GRINDHOUSE?

Oh wowMicheal looks so fucking sick!! So fucking creepy wow this film is really starting to silence down all the skeptiks.

dang dude, micheal looks amazing. i will be their at opening night for sures now. thank you so much rob for making micheal scary and more realistic!! this might just be the best halloween since the original.just as long as the musical score is good it will be awsome. all you haters are just plain silly.......

You can't take such a massive risk in remaking a masterpiece without knowing you're gonna do it justice. Rob KNOWS what the fans want, he wont dissapoint us, nor Carpenter. I gotta say i've not been this excited about a movie in a long time, the last time i got this hyped was when i saw a teaser poster for H20 ith half of Myers mask showing through the darkness. From the two pictures we've seen here today, i'm positively reaching out for the release date......

Whatever,jkrouskop.Fixating on"The kid masturbates"?What about the guy who wants to put it in a movie.And what about those who would defend it?Who's the REAL pervert?Oh,by the way,just because some "haters" don't have a problem with the mask,house,cop car,whatever doesn't mean they've stopped hating the things that count,oh,like the retarded script ideas or the fact that zombie would completely jettison what made the original great and make it another "rob zombie Patented White Trash Fest".Oh,the haters are still here and we are legion.

Yawn. you guys realy think the script materials you've been reading are gospel? Wiseup. I read early drafts of H8 and it was NOTHING like the final poduct. As i stated, no-one should be judging Zombies producion until they've sat through it from start to finish. Just because the haters dread change and are just slightly worried that from initial response to these images, that we may just have a fantastic remake on our hands.....

Wow. You actually compared Rob Zomkbie to Christopher Nolan AND you claim to be a true Halloween fan. I guess the rest of us should just salivate to your every whim and utterance. If you're going to make script arguements or try to talk movie industry stuff rule no.#1 is DO NOT attempt to compare Rob Zombie to Christopher Nolan.....

daveberg,if you know something we don't,please share.Even if the script isn't the one being used the fool who wrote it in the 1st place and thought it was good still deserves criticism for simply not understanding even the most fundamental aspects of the film he's "reimagining".I'm sure that whatever changes to the script are made,it won't be zombie's idea to make them.And who says anyone's afraid of change?When it's shown what those changes will be and those changes are horribly ill conceived and disrespectful to a beloved franchise and it's fans then the fans have every right to complain.Even as a 1st draft it's enough reason not to give zombie the benefit of the doubt.

Rejects made 17 mil and Corpses made 12.6 if you think that's financial success then maybe you should be the one visiting Loomis. Cast salaries in this thing alone are gonna run up the budget well beyond what some of the sequels used. Jason/Freddy made 82 mil and THAT was considered success so Rob's gonna have to up his game over the previous 2 movies to achieve 'financial success.....'

Hmm. Since when did i compare the directors? Exactly, i didn't. I was giving examples of two movies that many were turning their backs on untill they finally came out globally and cleaned up at the box office, my point was in case you didn't get it, was that not every remake or 're-imagining' is doomed. A little thing called 'Benifit of the doubt' Anyhow, you think i'm sitting here without being sceptic? The original Halloween is my all time favourite film, of course i'm worried that by making a remake we'll lose the essence and grip of Carpenters, by maybe, just maybe, i'll have the common sense to reserve my judgement untill i've seen Zombies version, you guys should do the same too.

I love Rob Zombie, and I think both pics look amazing. Except the older michael. The little bit of skin showing under the mask line kinda bothers me. BUt I'm sure it will look better in the actual movie.

holy... mother... of god... you are starting to make me cry, Rob. We've been waiting 20 some years for somebody to finally get the look right... so many have failed... but somehow, brilliantly, you advance the look of the original and instill that fear again that made us fall in love with Halloween all over again. And this is just by looking at the new photo... I can't even imagine what type of emotions will be pouring out witnessing the teaser... and further, the official trailer!! Keep doin' what you're doin', Rob, it seems to be working more than perfectly. The most anticipated I've ever been for a movie, ever...

I think the older myers looks pretty damn cool!!

Looks like he's found a job as a mechanic. A socket wrench should be placed in his right hand not a kitchen knife.

I think it looks good...scary like the first one but it has the big hair flavor of the later movies. This does not look like a dude who's gonna get owned by Busta Rhymes, at the very least. I'm looking forward to this and have been since it became official. I think DR proved Zombie could elevate above B-movie status, and 1,000 Corpses seemed to be intentionally retro so you can't judge that flick too harshly imo. Hopefully he sticks to his guns and makes his own flick here. I'd rater see Michael humanized with a "traditional" serial killer upbringing and be subject to death and harm than some more sequels which involve an invincible machine who serves who? Thorn? Satan? Who cares. Give me a RZ trilogy which ends the series and let's all be happy we ended up with as many Halloween movies which are decent vs. those which pretty much suck!

Jason Vooehees, ftw

wow! that looks really scary!! I am glad to see a revamp of the series turning michael myers back into the terrifying figure he once was. thanks for posting this man Rob Zombie your my hero!!!!!

will be worth the 7.50 can't wait.

this picture looks pretty cool can't wait to see this movie by the way to the people who hates remakes don't see it that sample bottom line quit fucking crying about it

This looks F*@#ING AWESOME!!!! Cann't wait to see this on the screen!

In case YOU didn't get it 17 mil and 12.6 mil is hardly cleaning up at the box office as you so 'cleverly' alluded to. And mentioning Batman Begins as a benchmark for remakes IS indeed comparative analysis as anyone with 'common sense' would tell you. So you are a 'fan.' You speak as if you are THE only fan and anyone with another opinion is NOT a fan. How interestingly original of an arguement.....You can choose to wait for the movie to open to render an opinion as I, and many others, have the right to comment on whats been put forth so far, or does that impinge upon your definition of common sense.....

STOP DELETING MY STUFF RETARDS!!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS???

Well, "Blessing Anderson", or Super Heidi or whatever name you keep using... I can see your IP Address and ever post you make. Quick spamming our boards, grow up and go away. If you dont stop Im banning your IP address and you wont be able to access the site.

Sauron, i said i was a fan, a fan of many, not the only fan. I just see the same old pattern being reproduced everytime a remake is placed in the pipeline, people immediately jump on the bandwagon and start nay saying from the outset without even hving seen a clip from the production itself, as far as internet rumour and leaked scripts go, they're mostly just circulated crap, but yet people still insist on biting the bait and thus begin to start hammering a film they don't actually have a clue about (Not that i know anymore than you) My apologies if my passion for the Halloween series and general excitement over the upcoming remake has transformed into some kind of confrontational material with anyone here, but as i said, i wish people would step back and just wait for the final cut before flaming it. Once we get clips, with p*ss poor acting in, or a trailer that looks pants, then i guess i'd be a little more understanding of people trashing this movie. Untill then, i'm gonna TRY and play this with an open mind and set my expectations on the fence......

it could make 50 millions dollars at the box office. It will be a critc and audience success. I like the new michael it reminds me to jason.

What can i say i am totally blown away this picture is fucking AWESOME he looks shit yah pants scary and i mean really scary ,ever since i heard rumours of a remake i was worried until i heard the master of horror mr rob zombie was directing it he is the only one who can do it right i have every faith in rob and i fucking cant wait for this movie its pointless bashing this movie now wait till it comes out, see it then make up ur minds but i for one know its gunna be amazing and i even think it could be better than the original and that is one of my fave films of all time!!!! MICHAEL IS FINALLY BACK!!!!

I'm Back! Compare this look to the fat Michael in Halloween(s) 4 and 6. Or how about the skinny actor with the funny looking mask in Halloween 5 that wasn't even close to the one in the previous film, although the movie picks right up after Michael falls into the well. You know the movie, the one that I think took place in Hazzard county complete with a cornfield, barn, etc. My point is, it actually is a marked improvement. Not exactly the original, but damn close. I too hated this re-imagining stuff, but I am at least wise enough to wait until the finished product. Remember, nothing Zombie does can ruin the original. For example... I don't think anyone forgot the creepiness of the original Texas chainsaw simply because some fools wanted to make quick cash and make a silly re-imagined movie. I saw it and simply said "it's not as good as the original". I then moved on! Let's try and get a grip. The world will not end if this movie sucks.

I hate that pic of the little kid doing his Alex imitation. He looks like the type fo kid other kids jok will become a serial killer when he grows up. All while everyone goes gah gah for the adult myers pic above I hope Zombie will at least provide some logic for Myers happening to run across a 6foot 10 mechanic suit.

I could do without the "look at me im a troubled kid", but the shape looks pretty impressive, almost as good as the original. I have a good feeling about this movie.

To the barbarian:the zombie does not provide logic for it interferes with his ability to make people believe he actually has talent.DO NOT QUESTION THE zombie or his mysterious motives lest ye be ridiculed by his zit-covered cry baby legion of excuse makers.Now shut up and drink your "special" rob zombie Kool-Aid and join us!

No. Zombie is a soulless talentless hack. Resistance is not futile!!

This looks fantastic. I don't think there is a right or wrong way to make it look. Oh wait, yeah there is. Pt.s 4,5 7 and 8; totally the wrong way. This actually looks menacing. Crying fanboys make me giggle.

I could do without the crap on the mask. The worst part is without that crud the mask looks really bad ass.

Is this mask stitched together or is that just crap on it.I guess that would make sense if it's his "Gotta take a s**t mask".If it is stitched together,is putting a Leatherface mask on Jason zombies new "original" direction? ps.the barbarian,you have passed the test.Welcome to the resistance.

i say he looks good. looks like Michael from H2O but extremely dirty. i like it.

The mask and jumpsuit...I've already commented on both, but I keep reading a lot of references to the crud. One thing we all have to keep in mind is that we have no point of reference as to what timeline in the movie this image comes from...with that said, the movie itself may reveal a clean jumpsuit and mask initially that becomes, through some course of homicidal ventures, to the more grimey look we see here. Who know? Just a thought...my guess is as good as any other...until we all actually SEE the film.

I love it, looks like their may be some stitching on the mask, or maybe its blood, or dirt??? I don't know, but like someone else said on here, we don't know what part in the movie this shot was taken from, we will have to wait and see. I think its bad ass though. Rob Zombie will bring this franchise back to the top. Good Shit Rob!

All i can say is, "WOW!"

It seems alot of people are forgetting this is not exactly supposed to be a remake. I doubt most of the movie is about the kid. For the people that don't like the cast list, you are crazy. period. who the fuck else could you ask for? I don't know if the movie will be good or not. I hope so. I don;t think you will like it if you are looking for it to be a copy of the original. What would be the point of that anyways?

Whoever is doubting this movie, you're insane. Rob Zombie has done nothing more than impress me with his last two films. After watching The Devil's Rejects on opening night, I was more than ecstatic to finally realize I just sat through a horror movie that I finally respected. Recently, I have no idea what the hell writers are thinking. The Grudge 2, Pulse?...fuck off. There is no sense of meaning or emotion carried through in any form of these films. It's nothing more than predictable ending's and poor storylines. Is there really no one out there creative enough to write something that will bring back a true sense of being hopeless in a horror film? So, here's my advice to anyone...if you're doubting Rob Zombie's ability to visually and emotionally shock you, keep your head in your ass. I've been waiting for this movie for a year now. I can't wait much longer.

Amen to that Ryan. Now, coming from a fan boy like myself, if any of you actualy own a Myers mask as i own several, they can have tendancies (If treated poorly)to crack in extreme weather conditions, this is what it looks like from these pictures, so you can just take your ridiculous leatherface analagies and brush them back under the hater carpet.

I remember Zombie saying during an interview that, Michael Myers had the only clean mechanics uniform he'd ever seen. He added that he would dirty it up, so that it didn't appear that Michael took it from the neatest mechanic ever. I suppose he is applying the same logic to the mask. Maybe he figues if you kill enough people wearing it and walking around with it on all day, it is bound to get bloodied or at least dirty.

So Zombie replaces the "highly unlikely" coincidence of an averagely-built serial-killer bumping into an averagely-built mechanic wearing a newish boilersuit with the much more realistic coincidence of a 7-foot-tall WWF serial-killer bumping into a 7-foot-tall WWF mechanic with a well-worn boilersuit? Well done, Zombie, you're a moron.

Hey Ryan,you slam The Grudge & Pulse(which do suck) because they have no meaning or emotion but then praise zombie.I'd like to know what "meaning" and "emotion" you see in his films.You'd better loosen the straps on the helmet your mom makes you wear.

I must agree with you MMO. This dude looks massive. I read a post by someone earlier on, who observed some of the filming. He said that the suit was baggy as to not have him look huge, but this picture says something different. Like, "I will break you!" I hope Zombie pulls it off.

I am reading a lot of comments saying that they like Michael's look because it reminds them of Jason. That's the furthest thing anyone who really appreciates the original would want. I've seen pictures where this photo does resemble Jason and Leather Face. Sad. The mask looks really creepy -- just his size is hard to comprehend. Eh, I'll wait for the movie to give my opinion.

The mask looks great, however, what I found frightening about the Nick Castle "Shape" was his average stature. This guy is just too big. That right off the bat loses some luster for me. It's a given that he'll be stabbin' and snappin' necks like Henry.

Wait.....untill.....film......has....been.....released..... before....judging......

I don't know exactly how anyone can judge the stature of Michael by looking at this picture ? A photograph can be shot in alot of different ways that can be decieving .I believe it was Mr. Disgusting himself who personally saw Michael up close filming and reported that he did NOT look too bulky or wrestler like in person. I'll take Mr.D's word for it.

Again, Myers looks good, scary even. But I'm not gonna judge the movie by the mask, the stone, and a car. As far as waiting till the finished product is out, you can sail on that ship as you have every right to. But don't attempt to denigrate anyone else as a nonfan because they don't share your views. The facts stand as they are: Zombie is far from a credentialed, educated filmaker. His two previous (his only two) have an average box office take of $14.5mil, has uttered many statements that seem to support the internet script that everyone wants to doubt so their position seems more credible, and has thrown a minor hissy fit at all of the fan criticism (which coincidentally he brought on himself). You are entitled to your opinions but your position is far from solid. IF ROB's gonna put his name over a remake of one of the most seminal movies in horror history, then he better be able to withstand fan critiques, it's as asimple as that. Don't expect anyone to give ROB a blank check just because he's ROB. There are far too many die-hard fanatics of Carpenter's masterpiece to just let Bobby take a blind waltz through the flowers while we just acquiesce to every little whim and fancy of ROB and his 'friends.' Anyway, I'll be on the next thread because this update is getting a little old and lengthy.....

That is my post that went unnamed right below..... Sauron

Sauron=the voice of the resistance.Again,well said.

....but falling on deaf ears. Any real fans of the Halloween franchise or Michael Myers for that matter will not in their right mind want to pass up another opportunity to see the iconic horror legend back on the silver screen, no matter what kind of incarnation of him is brought back. I thought H5 & 6 were pititful but still, Still we get more of Michael Myers, and that, to 'most' fans is what they want to see. Zombie will never be able to re-create the masterfull original, but that's not what he's trying to do, he's paying homage to a classic piece of horror history by taking on this project. Anyone in their right mind is aware that Carpenters Halloween will always own the series, but if you'd look outside of the bubble and stop comparing this to Robz 'Re-imagining' and view Halloween 2007 as a stand alone film then maybe you can lose the negativity. No-one is saying this IS going to be great, just as no-one should be saying it's going to be terrible, we can all judge for ourselves, as i've said several times now - once we've finally seen the end production.

If your arguement had any merit or made any sense we could end it like this. If any 'real' fans wanted to see more Myers, then he could rework the story and make a sequel with absolute fredom and take the story in a completely new direction. But what you are specifically stating is that ROB is free to redo, read that REDO, Carpenter's masterpiece. He's putting his name on the marquee so don't even bother trying to hide behind the fact that we should just separate the two movies. It's Rob Zombie's Halloween, NNOOTT Halloween 9. If ROB is so talented of a filmaker in your mind then why can't he rewrite the story and start with a sequel, probably because you don't trust his ability to see something like that through, whether you want to admit it to yourself or not. I would think 'real' fans would want to see this project absolutely loyal and uncorrupt to the original, so I would greatly question the "reality" of your fanhood.....

Daveberg, I doubt very much that "any real fans of [...] Michael Myers" would want the iconic slasher back on the big screen "no matter what kind of incarnation of him is brought back". That's why there's been such a backlash against Zombie's script, after all. Personally, if given the choice, I'd rather have Myers remain burnt to a crisp at the end of 'Resurrection' forever than have this bastardised, mullet-sporting Hulk fucking Voorhees wankmeister stomping around like some huge retarded asshat. So Zombie's idea of "threatening" is for the killer to be as physically big as is humanly possible? Well, why stop there, Rob - why not use that CGI trick from 'Lord of the Rings' that made Gandalf twice the height of the hobbits? Go on, give us a 12-foot tall Myers, because that'll really scare people shitless as he stomps around, bumping his head into the tops of doors.

Great input and discussion from you last 3. I have to lean with daveberg's opinion. I do see this re-imagining as a separate film from the original. RZ's going into Michael's childhood, upbringing and family. As well as introducing new character's. Other than the title, the story will be different.

I think that going into Michael's childhood and showing us just how mundane the reasons for his snapping were is the biggest mistake Zombie could make. One of the main powers that any cinematic bogeyman has over us is the power of the unknown: but once we know, once we are shown those intimate details, the bogeyman is demystified and he loses that power over us. Do we need to see Myers putting on the mask for the first time and looking slightly foolish when he doesn't quite line up the eyeholes with his eyes? Do we need to see him step out of his hospital whites and stand there in his socks while zipping up his boilersuit for the first time? Or picking some food out of his teeth? Or scratching his testicles? No, of course not - because that would make him ordinary. But that is, essentially, what Zombie is doing. He's stripping away the unknown, and showing us that there's really nothing to be scared of. Pat the scary doggy on the head, and the scary doggy doesn't seem so scary anymore. You've discovered what makes him bark, and you've tamed him. Laurie Strode was once so terrified of the Shape that she asked "Why won't he die?". If Zombie had been writing that script, he would have probably had Loomis reply "Well, you see, that's because he was injected with an experimental super-soldier serum while he was incarcerated. Don't worry, there's nothing 'unknown' here, I have everything in control, I have all the answers." Or he would have had him say "Of course he can die, because he's just an ordinary nutter in a mask" before proving his point by shooting Myers dead with his revolver. Meh.

guys, would you please get over it. As i've said before, how many duff scripts and rough drafts hit the internet and people go crazy viewing them as gospel.....i'm a member of a massive alien community and let me give you a little inside info - most dont care that avp sucked complete ass, they were just happy to see the xenomorphs back on the silver screen - see the connection there? People want Myers back on the screen, what they don't want is people trashing the damn production before they've even given it half a chance of succeeding. Your narrow minded judgements aren't particularly constructive, slaying the skills of a film director just because you beleive you could provide something better, maybe you could, but untill you go sit in the directors chair, how about give Zombie a break and let him work on HIS project, for those of you who don't know, he's already discussed EVERYTHING with Carpenter, and John said he liked what he heard and backs the film all the way. And let's face it, i'm glad it's a re-imaginging - no-one wants to see a carbon copy of the original anyhow, surely as i've stated, being a fan of something such as the Halloween series, you'd have to be more than anticipating Michaels return, no matter who's at the directing helm or what the plot may be. But it seems my definition of fan differs from yours.

Well said MMO and Daveberg. I think the point that is being missed by that poster who wants to force his/her opinion down your throat with the very condensending tones (you know the one) is that, most agree that a new direction was badly needed. The classic "resurrection" (toungue firmly in cheek!) pushed the entire series into the abyss. It was complete garbage. Michael getting an ass whipping kung fu style by a rapper. How about Michael not killing him simply because Busta had on a Michael costume. Come on! There was only two ways to do it and that is...make a new movie that ignores H8 (done already with H20) or re-boot ala 007 or Batman. Don't you think before they decided to re-boot that they sat Zombie down and asked how he could go forward after "resurrection". I'm sure Zombie's answer was something like "are you f%$&*ing crazy!. No none could do that!", let me try and re-imagine the original." While I agree that I don't want Zombie to blame everything on trashy mommy and eliminate the whole feeling that Michael might not be human, which was the coolest part of the original, as he wouldn't stay down. Zombie has all but said that this movie is a new version of the original. New story, the same only in title and characters. I guess we can always revisit the wonderful "Thorn" story line with the fat actor playing Michael, with the pasty funny white mask on. (again toungue firmly in cheek). Keep an open mind. At least watch it first. Then we can all come back (me included) and say it stunk, if that is the case.

First off, this goes to the person slamming the grudge and pulse for not having meaning or emotion... They do have meanings that are deeply rooted into japanese culture, and is very "emotional" If you would understand the culture behind them...Now i dont like the grudge, i just disagree with the statement. (i loved pulse though) The only emotion I have ever got from zombie is in devils reject, When the family is in the house, in the fire..I almost felt sorry for them.. I am 17 years old and believe the best two halloweens are the first and H2O.. Although they were all good with the exception of ressurection and season of the witch. Does those two bad films constitute a remake? Maybe. But I would of preferred if a real film maker would of took on the project. Rob Zombie is not a filmaker, he is a musician and should keep it that way. I honestly believe house of 1000 corpses was the biggest piece of shit to hit the big screen ever...alhtough the sequel was a little better. For the most part I do NOT agree with the casting..Casting Daniel Harris is just a publicity stunt...And His wife CANNOT act...I will repeat that SHE CANNOT ACT, and I am praying that she has a small role. In this time period of horror films, the blood, gore, and torture thing is very popular, but Zombie does not yet know how to accomplish this the right way. I will still give this movie a chance, for the sole reason that I love remakes and Halloween is a great franchise. I am going to hope that zombie has wised up and hope he realizes this is not another House of 1000 corpses, that he could possibly anger millions of fans....

First of all, I never said I praised Zombie. I respect him for making a well rounded horror movie. I agree that House of 1,000 Corpses wasn't the best thing I have ever seen, but The Devil's Rejects is one of my favorite horror movies. I can honestly say I feel it has so much more than most horror films. There have been so many serial killer movies, but many from their point of view. I found it clever he made it through the killers eye this time and their life. You don't see much of that in films. By the middle of the movie, you're rooting for the killers, that's a good idea. During the movie, you feel the pain of victims. You get physically and emotionally sick at some points. You feel excited, sad, angry, envy, etc. You get all of these feelings by watching this movie. This is why I talk so highly of it. Once you can feel what characters are going through in your gut, it's a decent movie. The director was able to draw you in to the characters life and get us involved. Sure, The Grudge, Pulse, etc. all those japanese movies have emotion and conflict, by it's so bland, it's boring as hell. I've seen about 15-20 Japanese horror movies, and I feel like I am actually watching the same boring movie over and over again. Don't get me wrong, there's a few good ones but the majority lacks the inner conflict you put yourself through once you get into a movie. Also, I feel like Japanese horror movies are much more involved in dialogue rather than seeing a visual of of emotions. It's clever, but I feel it's not as effective as seeing inner struggles, etc. Whoever said Zombie is just a musician, you're a tool. I'm sorry, but you're nuts. If you sit through The Devil's Rejects and honestly say, that movie did nothing for me at all, it wasn't a good story, the visuals were terrible, and lacked what Japanese horror movies bring to the table...then I feel you're 100% wrong. If you're open minded at all, you'll at least admit the movie was well put together even if you didn't like the movie as a whole.

One more thing, you liked Pulse and didn't like The Devil's Rejects...seriously? You enjoyed a story of computers and red tape? To me, Pulse was insanely corny. Both Japanese and American releases. No one is creative these days. Make your own fucking movies.

Ryan, if you truly believe that "no one is creative these days, make your own fucking movies", why are you backing a remake of 'Halloween'? Wouldn't you rather Zombie channeled his time and effort into a truly original movie of his own, rather than take the skeletal frame of someone else's story and wrap some half-rotten flesh around it? No matter what he does with 'Halloween', it isn't going to be wildly creative, and it's not an example of a director making their own movie, IMO. Daveberg, you say that John Carpenter has spoken to Zombie about the remake and that he "backs the film all the way" - well, Carpenter also backed the remakes of 'The Fog' and 'Assault on Precinct 13', and they turned out to be... quite bad, didn't they? Hollywood's in a rut, and instead of taking a risk and going forward with new things, it's playing it safe by going back and mining the past over and over again.

ok. i am gonna say this as nicely as i can. whoever liked pulse is a complete fucking retard. there

Ryan, I'm surprised that you got all of those things out of 'The Devil's Rejects' and yet all you got from 'Pulse' was that it was "a story of computers and red tape". While not the most exciting of movies, 'Pulse' had much more to say than 'The Devil's Rejects', IMO. Of the two, I know which one had the more original concept, unsettled me more with its message, and made me think more afterwards. And it wasn't the one that ended with 'Freebird'. Maybe you're not as interested in originality as you might think. :)

I'm not forcing a damn thing down anyone's throat. You want to spend the nine bucks and 100 minutes of your life assuring a second movie then that's absolutely your right (we do have rights as Americans, correct? Or am I condescending by pointing out that little codisole of the First Ammendment) I also never once said I wanted to make the movie myself. Therefore you can stop trying to hide behind weak-a@sed blame deflection tactics. The FACTs once again (ad infinitum): ROB is a MUSICIAN, NOT a filmaker (no training, no education, has not paid his dues, makes movies due to overhyped perceived MTV social status, movies are financial disasters at the cines) Find any one of those points I just listed and provide concrete proof that I'm lying. You won't and you can't.....I would also mention that ROB himself has corroborated certain aspects of the script that we've seen AND legitimate movie sites have confirmed the rumors we're hearing. Again, disprove me or shut up. ROB himself has thrown two separate hissy fits because of script criticism which I do not see anyone with a semblence of a brain doing if the facts were false. Why would he bother? Any suggestions from the 'real' fans. You want condescing, you got it.....

no, we actually want somebody mature enough to hold a discussion without resorting to tell others to shut up, not particularly enduring to continue a debate with an individual like that. We get the point, you're so obviously hating this movie from balls to bone, so if that's the case, why come on here and gripe about it? quit wasting your typing fingers if you so clearly detest Zombie and his halloween project that much, let the rest of us happily continue talking about something that (Shock horror!) others may actually be excited about! news flash - we don't care that Zombie is more into music than he is directing - we don't care that it's a re-imagining, but we do care that Michael Myers is being brought back to global cinema, you can gripe about it all day long and how much you disaprove of Zombie helming this flick, but you'll not change the minds of the people who truly want nothing more than to see Myers make his comeback.

Well said again Daveberg! It's amazing how people get offended when they are told that you respect their position, but stop shoving it down our throats in a condendending manner. I have come to find that most everyone here has a legitimate argument both pro and con and we should respect that, period! Also of note is that you did not touch on my points as to what the movie makers were supposed to do. Again, "resurrection" destroyed any follow up movies (although I must admit I did like the cliffhanger style beginning). That stupid story line was impossible to follow up and they were not able to stop making money. What about my argument that Zombie is making his own version of Halloween. I think it's pretty much a new movie, same only in title and characters, while introducing some new ones. I don't think it's that hard to see what he's doing. If your argument is that anyone but Zombie should be doing it, then say that. At least tell us what they could have and should have done to follow up the "resurrection" mess instead of simply shooting down everyone else's opinion. I feel anyone, not just Zombie had a mess on their hands trying to make chicken soup out of you know what. I think most know it would have been inpossible unless they ignored H8 ala H20, so re-booting as is the trend, was the way to go.

i think he looks fucking scary as hell and who ever thinks that he dosnt can suck a cock micheal myers is back!!!!!!!!!!!!

i like the look of the mask but, in some way looks different to me. dont get me wrong it looks scary and as zombie stated he wants people to be scared again, hes going the right way. im loking forward to the movie and i hope it is a cracker coz the halloween fans out there diserve a good version coz the last one with busta what ever he is called really sucked. good luck rob do us halloween fans proud

....in the words of Paris Hilton. "That's Hot!" WOO! What do y'all mean he looks scary? That there is the sexiest thing ever to grace the face of this planet! :-P

This isn't a remake. It's a completely new script, another addition to the Halloween movie's. Carpenter approached Zombie. Would you deny an opportunity like that? Clearly it's not going to be a surprise to viewers what we are going to see, but it will probably be more of a well rounded movie than others. To say that the writer of Pulse picked up the lack of what Zombie's movie's have, is ridiculous. I could have shit out that storyline in five minutes. All I'm saying is look at every possible aspect of the movie, what it lacks and what it brings to the table. Meaning...colors, dialogue, settings, the slightest facial expression, etc. Even if I wasn't a fan of Zombie's movies, I would come to the conclusion his movies are a bit more entertaining than Pulse.

Again, you didn't address one of my points about ROB. The reason you won't is because you can't. It's that simple. Every word that I said about ROB is truth and you cannot come up ith any answer to my posts. As far as the whole sequel arguement, I've addressed that many times that I'm sure you haven't put the effort into looking before you post. Just to codify it once more for you: the sequels did indeed suck for many different reasons which you'll get no arguement from me. But the bottom line is that ROB's name is going over the marquee of Halloween, not Halloween 9. I can't explain it or dumb it down anymore for you, if you can't grasp the concepts, well you will in a few years with maturity and wisdom. You wanted condescending, you got it.....

The remake of Pulse was total TURD. the original asian film as with most all of them, are EONS better. And why don't you nerds shut up and quit arguing like a bunch of retards? Go read Rob's myspace to find out for yourself what exactly this movie is. To paraphrase, its a re-imagining. He says in his own words its part prequel, part remake, if you will. And the main focus and emphasis is on Michael Meyers of course. Obviously he is not going to do it shot for shot from the original. And who cares either way what it is? Just enjoy it when it comes out.

can i just ask why do people have to slag each other off or argue over silly things. at the nd of the day we are all looking to robs intake in to little micks life as a child and also a different take on the events we all know. so come on and stop the bickering and look forward to the movie (evil never dies)

come on peeps lets stop all the bickering and all just look forward to robs intake into the movie. coz i know you ar all looking forward to it like me coz you wouldn't be on this site looking up halloween, in my eye we all got somethng in common

wow!! that face really scared the shit out of me!! he looks very demented and has that psycho look.

man. that costume is hell of a shit costume. its so Gothic, and out of this world Michael myers!!

where is christina05? dam, she gotta take a look at this. you rock Halloween!!

these pics are awsome i hope the movies is going to be a scary one too not a blood and gore horror film like all the others now of days. but when i look at these two pics i know its going to be a scary ass movie.

I think ROB will give HOLLOWEEN the sick, demented feel it was missing backthen becuase horror film makers were afraid to add these elements to their films in the past and also add a deep psychoanalysis of who Michael Myers real is and what makes him tick and if that is pulled off well then this will be a great film. I dont think it could be any worst then Resurrection and H20.

KIDS KIDS KIDS! It's ok, its only a movie.. Take a ez! First off, I am a huge Halloween (More Michael than anything else). And I do really like Rob's music. But on the other hand when I found out he was rewriting and directing Halloween 9. I would have to admit W.T.F! Then the idea slowly set in and I relaxed (a little). Besides it seems everone else in Hollywood has to multi make cash. So why not Rob. You know sings have to act and actors have to sing etc. But back to Halloween 9. I have read some of the things they have in production from Rob's vision of the movie. And again I say W.T.F.!! A talking (child) Michael! Now mikey can't drive! And Mike was let outta Smith's Grove by MISTAKE!! OH Brother! It kinda seems to me that Mr. Zombie is re-writing the classic. You know what they say Rob, if it aint broke... DONT FIX IT! But then we all bitch about what he should and shouldn't do! Still we'll add money in Mr. Zombie's pocket none- the-less. Besides who knows, is might turn out to be a good piece of art ( or not)

of course michael myers as a kid will talk once and a while thats not realistic to go a whole lifetime withought talking, I though that he only stopped talking and became a mute when he went nutts and killed everyone but w/e

its hard to judge exactly what the mask really looks like, the shot is vague and the mask is-for the most part-covered by shadows. It can't be any worse than the mask in H20...they actually had to digitally add the mask in one shot in that damn movie...

dis movie iz gonna be off da hook.I just hope that myers will talk and take his mask off.dis movie iz gonna kick ass.

umm...myers isn;t human per se'. He's evil on two legs. Sure we might get a glimpse of his face as we did in the original, but he doesn't need to speak...that's a perversion of his character... he's the boogieman incarnate...anything he has to say can be said with a big damn kitchen knife...so the movie will rock better if Myers keeps his yap shut...I mean, would you go see a chucky movie if Chucky got a new human body at the veyr beginnig? Hell no. So to make Michael sympathetic, emoptional and with dialogue is pretty much the same difference... bottom line...leave out the dialogue and it won't upset some fanboys stomachs...

i think the new myers is very loyal to the original and more.the mask looks just as spooky as the one worn by nick castle,but it has what seems to be war wounds,which is good for a killer of this calliber.he's bigger and more buff which makes him more intimidating and the type of bloke you dont wanna fuck with.this movie looks awesome and im sure it will be everything the original was and so much more.im confident that zombie,will make this a masterpiece and re-invent the franchise,unlike those other fucking abominations that followed part 2.in my opinion it should of been left alone after he burned in the hospital.im sure rob will do what chris nolan did for the batman franchise and make it great again.

yo man the mask does not look as f****** tight as the ressurection brad loree mask but this one comes in second place so overall it looks pretty good but i figured they would have done more with it like rob made it sound like
