i know this is late and it probably wont change, but the fact that this movie isnt opening on the friday before halloween (Oct. 26th) = weak sauce. it would slaughter. literally.

Next time, try filming the god damn movie in the Midwest (Where it's set) you fucking cunt.

That being said can't wait til august 31st.

What a hoot - he's so hard pressed to add freaking reasong for everything - then at the end your supposed to "draw your own conclusions as to why MM came back." What a f*****g idiot. And the music. jeez. Hell f that up too. Trailer - okay. Interview - set everything back two steps.

Thanks for that interview! You asked great questions I really wanted answered. I have always had faith in the movie, I am a fan of Rob's and I think the trailer looks awesome so I never had doubts, unlike alot of people on the boards and comments but I really liked hearing what Rob is doing with the film. Music, Mask, Laurie all that wise. What he can give away anyways. I also give Rob alot of props for not reading all the crap on websites about every single fan pissed. He isn't gonna make everyone happy but atleast he is just trying too, but just make a good movie...for his own sake. I like that he is going to let the audience draw their own conclusions. DR wasn't very one minded it wasn't like 'okay the Firefly family is bad' and 'sheriff wydell' is good. The movie is more complex than that and you choose for yourself, I think it's a great way to do Halloween. Michael is a character you could really have compassion for if done the right way...or atleast not be like 'okay he's just fuckin crazy' I think so anyways.

Assholes you're pretty stupid, the ORIGINAL was shot in the same goddamn place that the remake was. Literally less than a block away from the original Myers house.

Who (in the buisness of horror) wouldn't jump at the chance to make a Halloween flick? But it sounds like he did it for the paycheck. Sure, he might've had a "vision" regarding how Myers should be portrayed--but he read way too much into the original. Sure, it was vague. Sure, there was a fair share of coincidences, but didn't people complain about how stupid it was to explain Myers in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers? Now Rob's made him a "psychopath". Explaining that he's a good kid with a bad rap. Whatever. Michael Myers was and always will be evil personified. The boogieman. Not a mere psychopath. Young Myers (in the original) was emotionless, reserved. Now he's likeable? What a croc o' shit! Do you really have to have a deep-rooted reason why you want a mask on GASP Halloween? Jesus, Rob, Gimmie a friggin break. Can't wait to see how he ended it...apparently he didn't leave it open for a sequel...which means he doesn't want someone sequelizing his vision...what a hyppocrite...

Brian, I think what Assholes was trying to say is that the fictional town of "Haddonfield", Illinois is located in the mid-west. The Devil's Rejects took place somewhere in West Texas but was shot in California. The original Halloween and the remake were both shot in California but the story is supposed to take place in the midwest. They had to import leaves in the original for crissakes. Furthermore, let's hope Rob did as good a job as Carpenter in concealing the palm trees in sunny Haddonfield Cali-I mean Illinois...

Perhaps, but to call Rob a cunt for filming it there is basically calling Carpenter a cunt as well. It just sounds like one of the many "fans" who just criticize Rob for everything he does, most of which are completely invalid comments until August 31st (and even then there will still be many that whine without ever having seen it).

So Zombie thinks everything in the original movie is "coincidental"? He really doesn't understand Carpenter's film at all, does he?

For Gods sake........ Just watch the damn movie and be glad that the franchise has been saved and given an uplift...... The original was great....... this will be too.

So speaketh the fragments, the very morsels of genius which unto most go unheard and misunderstood... behold Rob Zombie - give me a break man... i can poop out "fragments of genius". Don't get your hopes up fellas - you all say "be glad it's not another sequel' ...I'll 'be glad' when all these remakes are swept under the rug (most of which already have) and these directors come up with their own damn stories. Rob finds it really important to give the mask a back story - it's a freaken mask Rob - used to conceal ones face... Have Micheal hold it up and recite Shakespearean quotes for all I care... idiot. John Carpentor's Halloween doesn't need anybody screwing with it and if you disagree you just proved to me that your brain is made of macaroni.

Holloween is a classic. Why keep re-making these horror masterpieces. An idea would be to re-release the original on the big screen for a new generation to experience. Maybe a very slight tweaking of effects & sound, but other than that it should be left to stand alone. Besides, how can you improve on the character of Dr.Loomis played by the late Donald Pleasence. He was great in the sequels as well. It's amazing to me that many of the younger generation have never seen a lot of these classic films, and only know the characters because they see them on their doorstep halloween night.They should re-release these films on the big screen, maybe during October. Let Halloween start it off,then the following week release Friday, Chainsaw, Elmstreet, Jaws. Ya' get the picture. Maybe even the classic Dracula, Frankenstein, & Wolfman flicks.

Halloween was going to be made no matter what. It could have been a dozen directors on the short list, but RZ is the one who got offered. Of course he jumped at the chance. It's a HUGE risk, but a classic movie with a name and character that has a built in audience. I think the changes added to the story were necessary or why bother. I'm not saying it's going to work, but if your remaking Halloween, the dumbest thing to do would be to repeat Carpenter's movie. This is the best chance at reviving the franchise if you ever want to see Michael back on screen, period. The story needs a new starting point, not the same crap of he's been shot a million times, beheaded (it's not him), belong to a satanic cult, telekinetic niece bullshit. Sorry no offense, but if anyone is digging those movies and think's Michael is scary, you don't know TRUE horror. I'm rolling the dice and hoping RZ brings back the scariest MoFo on the screen.

Jay Sims. That's a nice thought, but a point to remember is that what was scary 30, 40 years ago. Is NOT to todays generation. I "freaked" when I saw JAWS as a kid, but show that to your average teenager today, they'll think your nuts.

Yeah, calling Rob a C%@t does have a sting. I've called him a pompous ass or asshole, but it goes (to me) a little too far when you whip out the big C word. LOL. With that said, anybody doing to Michael Myers what Rob is would not make for a favorite on my list. It's not Rob-so I don't hate the bastard...I just think he's making this movie more for himself than anyone else. That's what I got out of the B-D interview. It's not Just Halloween that's sacred, but Michael Myers is by far better than Leatherface, Jason, Freddy, Shmucky...don't get me wrong, I love those freaks, too... but the Shape is my fave...

Ack--So I'm not the only one who thinks Rob's reading way too much into the original...I mean...A backstory for the mask? It takes place on FREAKING Halloween, Zombie. If you're a maniac on the loose on Halloween, it only makes sense to wear a scary mask while doin the slashin'. How many times did Rob pace back and forth in his office in front of the computer before he decided to throw that into the script? Too many coincidences, you say? Loomis just "happened" to be at the phone-booth near the mechanic's truck? Ummm, yeah...so? What's your point, Rob? Jesus...Halloween-Michael Myers-does not need to be that damn complex...Rob's taking damn near thirty years of Michael Myers and perverting it for his own gain...I really think he's made this movie for himself, and he can give a shit less what the fans think...after all, he's getting the paycheck Carpenter never got for the original. Also, he DIDN'T leave it open for a sequel. He said "they" (the studios) can make a sequel out of anything...so Rob doesn't want HIS movie sequelized? What a hyppocrite...and furthermore, for those neysayers who cry "It's only a friggin' movie, get overr it!" Watch Halloween 25 Years of Terror and tell that to those fans who travel far and wide to the locations of the original to recreate classic moments from the first film...It's not just a movie...it's a way of life...and as an aspiring writer...I can attest to that...

VERMIN BASTARD. I totally respect your passion, I love the original as well, but as I stated before, it makes no sense to recreate Carpenter's version, by adding new plot details it allows a new direction to take place. I'm really curious to see RZ explain the reasons of Michael's behavior. We already know what it's like keeping things a mystery. I'm not sure he'll succeed, but it will be better than rehashing the same ol', same ol'.

I never said there should be an exact scene for scene remake ala Gus Van Zandt's Psycho remake--that'd be stupid...but Rob deviates from the character of Michael Myers way too much for my tastes. I'm opposed to remakes in general as we've already seen it, y'know? What I meant was, create something fresh and new...and new story a new twist. I just don't want to hear Myers speak (if only one word). I just meant that they could've taken elements from all the films and somehow tied them together in a new plot twist without deviating from the character...or something like that...for example...I have ideas (I'm sure we all do)...they're in my head and I can't quite explain it...but I wouldn't call my idea a sequel, just another installment in the Halloween series. Something fresh and new... Rob and Halloween together will bring in the audience...sure...but it is a prequel/remake/re-imagining...and based on his interveiw, I think he really made the movie for himself. Yeah, he was offered the job, and he just new he couldn't pass it up...but in an earlier interveiw from last year, on the official Halloween website, he said, he had a vision. If he didn't he wouldn't go near it. Well, his vision is a remake of sorts. Plus he's trying to explain this and that, including the freaking mask. Bottom line about the mask...if you're gonna go on a killing spree on Halloween night, chances are you're gonna wear a mask. It was just...well...you don't need a deep-rooted explaination of why he chooses to wear a mask...it's simplicity. Nothing more. But, I've said it before and I'll say it again: I will go see this movie with some auto disappointments...but hopefully...maybe...I'll be pleasantly surprised...hopefully. Maybe...just maybe.

VERMIN BASTARD. Like you said, maybe, just maybe RZ's ideas will be a pleasant surprise. I don't want adult Michael to talk either, but maybe there's a specific plot point it makes when he utters a word or a sentence, I don't know, I guess we'll all have to wait and see. I do like the idea that RZ is introducing new plot elements to the story because it's unexplored. I would have to disagree about a sequel that ties all the movies together. I choose to not recognize all the sequels but #2. The other installments in my opinion were god AWFUL and really killed the story. Whoever can watch RESSURECTION and support that it was good has got a screw loose. The only logical way to keep Michael onscreen is to re-invent him a little and add to the story so it offers more options should they try and keep the series going.

One thing that ROB said that really struck home about this was that life is INDEED too short to get incredibly nuts about all of this. That said, I have been one of the loudest and harshest critics of this mess out of my unswerving loyalty to the sanctity of Carpenter's masterpiece (as I will continue to be.....) What is interesting about all of this is that someone IS INDEED listening to our opinions. ROB himself alludes to this when he says at the end of the interview that he keeps getting emailed with snippets of fan reaction and he deletes them. If you read that more closely, people close to him, and presumably the production are watching what's said with some concern. He may indeed not give a f@ck, but it has not gone unnoticed. For the record, while I have been fair about the pics and trailer thus far most of the stuff I've been screaming about (rather loudly I might add) was confirmed in this interview. ROB wants to "explain" what he perceives as inconsistancies in the original (micromanaging the plot and backstory) but then leave the end open and nebulous like you never know Myers true motivations????? I mean why not leave well enough alone with that? Myers kidnapping Laurie out of love??? How is that expanding upon Carpenter's original vision of the faceless fear stalking the night in any given corner of our culture????? I'll say it again for the umpteenth million time, if any other director had attempted to schlep this crap on us we would be screaming for his/her head. However, because its ROB we should just bow down and accept the grace of his benevolent creative genius as the only possible way of revivg this long-dead dinosaur of a franchise. Just because the later sequels trashed the story doesn't mean that a "reimagining" by a myspace superstar is gonna resurrect any semblance of credibility with the Halloween community. Maybe when everyone wakes up and accepts this then I would be willing to make admissions concerning the "let's wait and see community....."

SAURON. Welcome to the discussion. I for one am not assuming that because it's Rob Zombie, he's gonna save the franchise. I think whoever took one this remake was destined for harsh criticism, it would just go with the territory. RZ's intentions and ideas are certainly up for debate and backlash. For me personally, the longer I'm settling with the story and after seeing the trailer, I have a little more optimism that it could be good. What I stand COMPLETELY against is Halloween 9, 10 or whatever it is. It's so dead and ridiculous at this point. As far as RZ reading up on the critical comment's being made of him, I'm sure he's heard it all. How could he not with what he's remaking. And I know this is an unpopular belief, but I feel RZ had to step out of the box on this movie and introduce some new ideas. What would be the point of copying Carpenter or acknowledging any of the crappy sequels. I'm curious to see what makes Michael tick, and give a little more detail and purpose to his actions. We already know what the other side is like. I'm not 100% sold that RZ has accomplished this, but I'll give him a little credit for the attempt and it takes alot of balls.

Such short memories we seem to all have. Lets recall the remake of Black Christmas (for what its worth), Dawn of the Dead, TTCM, THHE, etc, etc. Now...while I would say that I have mixed views of this list, I think in a general sense most were satisfied with the remake of Dawn and many indicated a preference to the remake over the orig. Who wrote and directed it? Zack Snyder...who was he before that flick? A household name? Nope. Big risk remaking a Romero classic and in a more general sense, a horror classic. A lot of people "bitched" and moaned about how someone would even entertain the idea of remaking Dawn, how could they bastardize Romero's flick, blah, blah, blah. And in the end, once everyone actual viewed the flick....hmmm, something very interesting happened. People actually liked it! OMG! A miracle. People actually viewed a movie, a remake, a remake of a classic and actually liked it when prior to seeing it many swore Zack and this movie meant the world was coming to an end. Zack's movie was a re-envisioning...not a scene by scene or concept by concept remake...just like RZ's Halloween. My allegiance is not to Rob or anyone making any movie. I don't have an allegiance to a movie, an idea created for the purpose of entertaining audiences. I am simply suggesting that we let the movie stand as its own, much like we did Dawn. The orig will always exist...as now will this version. View the flick then make your opinions known. Or if you hate the idea so much, don't drop your hard-earned cash, allowance, etc. at the box office or local rental chain. The choice belongs to you. It is after all just a movie. There are bigger fish to fry in this world. Sorry for the rant.

To be quite honest, Halloween II was by no means a great sequel...better than most perhaps, but, in my opinion, there shouldn't have been a sequel to begin with. Period. I mean, "The Boogieman" stalks high school girl, gets shot six times by his own doctor, and disappears instead of dying. If they had left it at that, whoa, that would've been something to ponder. Scary. But, the almighty powers that be saw dollar signs before the film was even released, believe it or not. Pleasance was instructed to look out the blachony to see no shape and Carpenter said to Pleasance, "would you believe...a sequel?" So this little indie flick became a huge phenomenon making it the highest grossing indie at the time. Naturally, the backers took it and ran all the way to the Kingdom of Hollywood where Michael was sent through development hell in sequel after sequel. No, I do not appreciate Resurrection at all, by the way and was insulted by the plot and the annoying cast. But, Jamie Lloyd was introduced in Halloween 4-which was a decent installment to be perfectly honest. Halloween 5 was pure drivel (4 and 5 were shot back to back). Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers is only interesting because of its controversial Producer's Cut-which I'd like to see on DVD-just for principal, and that was a bold film they dared not make. But, these films were made. These characters were thrust upon us and we took them in because we had no choice. We (as fans) endured for the sake of seeing our favorite boogieman in action. Let's face it, the set-up of the original was perfect...just look at how it could've been. Adult Myers could've been wearing a clown mask, but they went with a modified Cpt. Kirk mask instead. Brilliant. Halloween is what it is and the franchise has become what it is because of the character of Michael Myers. Sure, he didn't have any speaking lines. No emotions. But there are plenty of flicks out there with bland characters that do speak that are as memorable as that last dump I took (whenever that was). So we "suffer" through these films because we want to see our Boogieman, Michael Myers. With that said, allow me to step take a step back on Curse of Michael Myers Producer's Cut. There were drastic alterations to the character, but they abandonded the idea. Now MTV god Rob Almighty is attached and so the stakes are higher and the risks are greater and worth taking. This film is geared towards "mainstream" audiences as well as the fans. But without the fans, there wouldn't have been any other insufferable sequels and no Myers legacy. With that said, the MTV poser/devotees are sure gonna eat this up like crack. And this remake has a lot of the elements of the original, by the way, right down to the white sheet and glasses bit. The only difference is that Rob makes young Mikey "likeable" and "charismatic" and spends 45 minutes on the young Myers. He takes Myers ability to drive away because He didn't see fit to give Myers the keys. Then he makes it known that Laurie Strode is his sister and that he wants her for some strange reason. As I recall, Myers was about killing his whole family. How can Rob justify that Myers didn't really want to hurt Laurie? He couldn't. That's why he leaves it up to us confused and befuddled fanboys to draw our own conclusions because he couldn't. Oh, and don't forget the complexities of why Myers would wear a mask in the first place. Jesus...can you believe that shit? Let's wax philosophy on why this fictional character would wear a halloween mask on "GASP" Halloween night. Whatever Rob...hope that paycheck had enough zeros on it, jackass, cuz I know Carpenter's sure didn't.

Bobs comments are freaking gold. I don't see how any of you can call it an attempt to save the series. What movies of "the series" are worth a crap outside of the original. The rest are really just like licensing his image. They are all garbage as far as movies go. Whats going to happen is this - the movie will release - do good at the box office because of all the curiosity - and have crap reviews. Alas the Zombie tools will say I told you so because of the initial box office - mistaking those dollars for a great movie and Zombie will get free reign ruin another great movie.

Johnny, you don't need to explain your views here. I know them and their reasons and I'm not directing that post towards you. The respect is given as well as received. I do disagree with the ascertation because I feel that 'reimagining' the original as opposed to a sequel is gonna have the same effect. Neither idea is gonna advance the franchise, no matter how hard Malek Akkad tries to ram MTV/Myspace/The Splat Pack down our throats. While I won't go as far as to call ROB a c%nt (though I gotta admit I got a guilty chuckle out of that one), I can't endorse remaking an untouchable masterpiece of cinematic art. There's a reason that the Library of Congress, YES that Library of Congress, inducted Carpenter's work into it's archives of American Film History. And just about every one of those reasons seems lost on ROB. It's now clear that most, maybe not all but most, of the script ideas that supposedly were never in existance are now in the final product (or was I hallucinating with the rat). Also clear is that Carpenter did not in fact endorse this with his blessing as some of the more fanatical ROB devotees tried to pawn off on us, as if we would automatically acquiesce to silence. Carpenter was contacted out of professional courtesy and he apparently said "hey, what the f#ck, whatever....." Anyway, while I felt that the trailer had some positives overall I'm finding that while remakes are probably an inevitability in this day and age, it doesn't make it right to unzip your creative fly and urinate all over a timeless classic.....

Hear, hear, Sauron. The original should've been left alone. Period. Can nothing get away without sequelization (new word)? Sure, we've all seen the other movies because we wanted to see The Shape (guilty, so eviscerate me). And you made a point a while back (I believe it was you anyway). You said that Caprenter referred to Michael as The Shape in the script (again, correct me if I'm wrong if you're not the one that posted this and it was someone else). But he meant for Michael to be-dare I say-one dimensional, because the more comlexities given a villian in this case, the less scary that villian is. Michael was a shadowy menace; a vague obscurity if you will. He hid in the darkness, lying in wait like a trapdoor spider for its prey. It was never made clear as to why Myers returned to Haddonefield. It was never made clear as to why he targeted Laurie Strode, either. He had no reason for his madness other than evil and that-to me-makes for one scary bastard. Rob Almighty decided that he had a better idea than Carpenter and took it to the bank. The only reason this movie will do any business is because it's Halloween with Rob's name attached. Sure, Halloween alone would attract enough of an audience (I should know, I live in a town that only thinks it's a city and the theaters were packed opening weekend for H20 and that cursed Resurrection). Those faithful servants of Lord Zombie cause me to blush down to my bones-they'd embrace a shit sandwhich if Rob grilled it up himself, and that's exactly what's happening with this little film.

Thanks vermin - thats sums up what I hate about whats going on here. Not with Jonny who's turned out to be an okay dude... But go to myspace... these trolls are so happy to be associating with a celebrity - they like you said - would eat whateve sandwich Z dishes up. In the end - it's all just fun. But I will admit this what I loved lost of the movies was that I bought Haddonfield Illinois hook, line, and sinker. The Fall season in IL is amazing - and Carpenter nailed it whether it was filmed here, Cali, or Hawaii - it looks great. I look forward to seeing how Z does it. Sorry - went off on a tangent. My two cents.

My overall feelings about this movie is acceptance. Remakes are the current trend it seems over the last 5, 6 years. I don't endorse them, just accept the idea that it's inevitable. I'm really hoping RZ does this movie justice and we can all come away feeling good about Michael Myers again. So often, new horror films have been such a letdown. Being a horror fan, it would be great if this version of Michael is scary once again. I want to really like it, but have no problem blasting it if it sucks. My fingers are crossed.......

Yep, it's true...Rob's next project could be about a guy who finds a rubix cube, solves it and incures the wrath of hellish hillbillies wrapped in chains and fish hooks and call it "Hell in a Box" and the fans would embrace it like it was gourmet chop suey. Or what about a guy who finds the satanic bible and unleashes unholy demons and the hero loses his hand and attaches a leaf-blower to it? That could be called "The Unholy Dead" and if it was all written/produced/directed/catered/deficated by Rob Zombie, his deovted followers would shit gold monkeys and trade them in for tickets to see this garbage. I confess, the only movie I like of his is the Devil's Rejects--and even that more than borrows heavily from other flicks...I'm sure a lot of you out there would love to say "hey, didn't Carpenter 'borrow' from psycho for Halloween?" or some shit like that...I don't think so. Inspired, maybe...but the fans will say anything to justify their hero's mistakes and his Halloween is one of them...wait and see!

"sorry for the rant." Halloween rules.

And so...the mighty Rob Zombie will do that which no man or woman has ever accomplished before...kill Michael Myers. I saw the recent interveiw on MTV dot whatever--the one about Myers' license to drive or whatever--Rob's a dumbass. You could tell he totally disregarded any respect for the original just by the way he's talking and little nervous shuffling. He's arrogant to say the least. And he totally took a big dump on the original character of Dr. Loomis--yea, he was off his rocker a bit, but that's what made him so important--not just to the original--but to the series. They really fell apart after he passed away. Anyway, Rob's a dumbass with no respect for the original.

Sh!tting gold monkeys.....?????.....?????.....HHHMMMM!!!!!.....That was pretty damn clever. Couldn't have said it any better myself.....

Jonny has a great point - just make him freakin scary again. Okay - let Z kill him... Then let Jim Cameron come back with a virtual Donald Pleasence as Loomis passed out in a bar and he wakes up and everything from H-III till the end of Z's flick has been a dream. Then we can start over. : ^)

RAMONE. That's an interesting concept. Seriously, that's a funny, but cool idea. Get crackin on that screenplay.

Jonny - you may be young... it what happened on a show in the 80's - like Dallas or Knots Landing or some such show... a character was shot in the cliffhanger only to appear like a year later after someone dreamt the whole season. Rosanne did it later with John Goodmans character after he died of a heart attack. I thought it was appropriate. And I don't mean to be a hateful basher - but the more Z opens his mouth - the less exciting this movie becomes. And you know damn well as good as me - if you build up a movie in your head - it's going to be disappointing. I hope I enjoy it - and really Z is living a fantasy we'd all love too. This is more or less a good outlet for my deadline driven angst! He's made himself a bit of a target. To change the subject a bit - but reflect sort of the opposite of this point - as a young adult I always thought Transformers was probably the stupidest show you could subject a child too when it initially came out. When I heard it was being made into a movie - I thought - that's the second freaking stupidest thing you could subject a child too. Then I saw the teaser trailer and go - if they handle the movie like they did the trailer - that could be a damn cool flick. Then I saw the trailers recently posted and go - yeah - I'll take my kid to it. They did a great job of sort of setting the stage of the movie - and caught at least one movie go-er off guard. I saw the halloween trailer and saw nothing different from any other second rate thrasher trailer. Hell - The Hills Have Eye's II has a great trailor by comparison to the Halloween trailor. Myers has lost his mystique. Z is so hurried to prove how cool his masks are - MM is all over the trailor. I actually - though I may be the only one - thought one of the creepiest moments of the original was MM stealing the mask inside the store. Thats all. I'm not an entire hater.

RAMONE. Unfortunately, I am old enough to remember, your referring to Dallas and the character J.R. Ewing. I could tell you had some sarcasm in your remark. I still thought the idea was clever. Try and hold a little bit of your true feelings in until you see the movie. MAYBE this will be good. And maybe not, but maybe you can agree that this has got to be better than another sequel that would follow RESSURECTION. It's SO time to move away from those storylines. And as I've said many times, I think this direction RZ is trying with the more in depth view of Michaels childhood and upbringing is the best way to start fresh because it has not been explored in any of the sequels. Don't know if it will work, but atleast it seems interesting and obviously has ALL of our attention.

No - no sarcasm at all... I just didn't knew where my idea came from. I neveer know howe old the folks are I talk too. Thats cool.

To put aside all hatred of ROB, I gotta admit he does look scary and the press photos have been well done thus far. Still, to humanize Myers by making him the misunderstood good guy whose life circumstances and abuse led to mental-fracturing really cheapens the creepiness of the mindless stalker personified in the original. He's not Darth Vader seduced by the chance to make things right, but that's apparently where ROB's taking him. It'll be interesting but at the end of the day it'll probably get killed by the critics, killed by the old-school fans. and praised by Carson Daly. Go figure. News has been slightly slow these days.....

I DNT EVEN KN0 Y? TH3Y B0THERED REMAKiiNG THiiS IF IT WAS OK HOW IT WAS.. I DOUBT THIS MOVIE WILL BE BETTER THAN THE ORIGANAL. AND WH0 CARES WHEN ITS RELEASED IT...THEY SHOULD'T PUT THIS MOVIE ON THE OCTOBER 26! SAW 4 IS ALREADY ON THE DATE! I WOULD BETTER BE OFF SEEING SAW 4 THEN THIS WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!

So i see in the trailer the shape dresses up as the ghost again. Unless the girl's boyfriend is 7 feet tall she is a fuckin dumbass to get confused. Should be interesting to see how this one goes. Rob you better not fuck this up!

I saw the preview to Rob Zombie's Halloween, and I think it looks awesome. I've watched it 10 times already. (Remember haters, I am a big fan of the original, and it's sequels.)

Michael's a 7-foot misunderstood freak with an unhealthy love for his baby sister...Dr. Loomis is a successful psych doc (with a wife) who is daunted by the fact that Michael was the one person he couldn't get through to...I guess Rob gave "his" Dr. Loomis more "credability"? than he felt the original Pleasance version had...I don't even care enough to know how Laurie and the rest are going to be portrayed...imagine reading this discription before you knew it was Rob Zombie's Idea... This sucks...with or without Rob Zombie...this idea sucks.

look every one that writes like there going to be hered there not just wait untill it comes out and i will be the first at the door because i think this is going to be great

Vermin exposes another stupid Zombieism - lets go for the most shock value... so in perspective - MM comes back for the baby - making him the worst kind of pedophile - if you have to attach a degree to it. How much more juvenile shock value can you have? I definitely think he pandering to the intelectually depressed with this movie.

Rob has made it quite clear that he doesn't give two shits and a sloppy fuck about what anyone thinks of HIS movie...including the fans who helped make Michael Myers what he is today. He completely disregarded what these characters (no matter how bad the sequels they've appeared in) mean to the fans of the Halloween series and Horror in general. If nobody gave a shit about The Shape or Loomis, we wouldn't be here on this comment post because this re-tarded re-imaginig wouldn't exist and Rob would be either fucking something else up, or ripping something else off. I'm truly disappointed that he (as an entertainer) holds fast to that "who gives a shit" attitude. He knows he has leverage and can do what he wants and he damn sure did it. Maybe someone will come to his defense and ask "so he wanted to fuck Halloween up?" Nah, that may not have been his intentions, but he sure as hell did...wait and see!

hey, michael myers fan...you heard us, right?

Yeah, I couldn't agree more. Any other director would have been hung by now for even daring to put forth this "story" as the grand reimagining of a priceless classic. And we have a truly (a)pathetic director hunkerring down over his little turdling like it was the golden ticket to Willy Wonka's decudlian wet dream.....With plot holes you could fly a plane through, this bitch is gonna burn hard and fast. On another note, finally saw Grindhouse tonight. How the h^ll Rodriguez was able to get 'Planet Terror' through the MPAA is absolutely beyond me. Anything that makes Apocalypto look like Strawberry Shortcake is proff that there'll never be an NC-17 for violence. Still, I gotta wonder if the folks at the ratings board were asleep when this came through or if the Weinstein name was able to tweak the process. On that note, Rodriguez's movie was phenomenal ("grindhouse" plot aside). Tarentino's was a clinic in improvisational dialogue but definately had its pacing problems. Still I enjoyed the film overall. BTW "Machete" was the best, by far, of the mock trailers. Danny Trejo was f-cking funny as sh^t, though 'Thanksgiving' was a very close second.....

Jesus......... Just wait until the fucking thing is released before casting judgement. Its just a film....

okie dokie...can't wait to see Michael Myers communicate via mask-making for forty-five minutes as a child...can't wait to see someone else play a beloved character Sam Loomis. Can't wait to hear a 7 foot masked "psychopath" utter the word "boo"...I can picture it now: Myers removes the mask upon calling his sister "Boo", they share a tender moment ala' Jamie and uncle Mike in Halloween 5 (another prospective rip-off)? Shit, man. The point of this post isn't to come in here and praise it only...you're allowed to bitch, too...last time I checked.

Mr. Zombie,can't wait till your movie comes out,your movies seem to be getting better and better. Sherri Zombie is hot. good work man.

First let me say I'm a huge fan of Halloween. So much so i have the cover tattooed on my right ankle. Carpenter is one of the best horror directors. Besides the orignal i love The Curse of Michael Myers. It seems to be underrated. The background music was creepy. I loved the color contrast on the mask in scenes. The black light effect. The story was good-tommy coming back. The evil doc from the first-the doc that Loomis talked to before he got in his car. The mom and dad of the film were named John and Debra. (Carpenter and Hill) The fact that Pleasence(R.I.P.) died during post production. I watch once a year on Halloween. I know im a freak. Now RZ did a good job with Devils Reject. I have seen the trailer for Halloween and it looks good. Having read the book i was hopeing for the remake to start where the book did. I guess we will see. The release date sucks but i cant complain to much. At least i wont have to wait as long to see it. RZ is of course taking a huge chance in making this movie. His directing career is of to rocky start. This movie could make or break him and im sure he knows this. So im sure he wants to do a good job. The fact that he got Carpenters blessing shows he cares. What sucks for him is Ressurection wasnt to good(Busta kicking Michael's ass made me sick to stomach) so every fan has a bad taste in their mouth still. I do like the idea that Michael will make his mask. One of the things that made Halloween so good i think is Carpenters dialogue. He is great at it. ie The Thing I hope Zombie is too. I really hope he keeps the music but maybe change it a little. I think most fans can agree that this horror series is F&%^$ed up than most. 1 2 and H20 go together 456 go together and 3 we know about. So really any new movie is going to have a tough time. Im just glad to see the Boogieman maybe one last time!

And by the way I cant help but laugh at all the people bashing the director or just the idea of a remake. You damn well know you will be standing in line with the rest of us Halloween nuts! Also I know John Carpenter wanted Michael to remain "the shape" but thats been done. Hell John didnt even want sequels.(also he didnt even want to do a horror movie but they were cheap and easy back then) It was M. Akkad that made the Myers legacy. He is gone now too. So I really hope this movie does well or it might really be the death of Michael Myers.
