Official 'Halloween' Remake Poster Revealed!
Wednesday, June 6, 2007

Just a day after the official website launched, writer-director Rob Zombie revealed the official poster for his remake of Halloween, which hits theaters August 31. Read on for a look (what do you guys think?) and check out our exclusive set coverage here. After being committed for 17 years, Michael Myers, now a grown man and still very dangerous, is mistakenly released from the mental institution (where he was committed as a 10 year old) and he immediately returns to Haddonfield, where he wants to find his baby sister, Laurie. Anyone who crosses his path is in mortal danger.

I think it looks cool as hell, didn't know Michael had long hair though.

ehhh, kind of looks like a novelty rather than a serious poster, but OK

Some of the fan made posters were better.

Looks like the same poster to me only with a "tagline". Again, I don't really like it. It reminds me of TCM:The Beginning.

It's kind of cool on one hand and kinda lame on the other. I'm sure it'll grow on me. then again, it's just the poster, it wont change how I feel about the film.

NO NO NO please the back ground with the mask is so cheesy, but no doubt the movie will be awesome!

And the beat goes on with the predictable reactions to each new bit of news... sigh. The poster looks good, and is a nice switch from previous HALLOWEEN posters.

I like it but I just wish it didn't have the 'background' like it was just Michael holding the mask on a black background I don't like the tagline to well, nor the font for 'Halloween'. Definetly not the worst poster, but I was expecting much more. Sort of an unsetteling look like the theatrical Devils Rejects poster. This one looks like 'HEY IT'S A MICHAEL MYERS MOVIE' a little to obvious and thats my biggest problem

It's a little too colorful. I like the mask with all the faces inside, cool idea. Just would have liked it more in a dark background, black and white photograph kind of thing. VERY anxious to see the movie.

Awful poster, it looks like the cover to a particularly cheap and cheesy horror novel. Rob Zombie has replaced the iconic silhouette of the Shape with himself (or Cousin It) in the Myers role. Nice job, Rob.

"The Night HE Came Home" to "Evil Has a Destiny"? The tagline should be "Evil Has a Backstory". A long-haired Michael Myers? They don't cut hair in the asylum? The Rob zombies will like it no matter what, though.

Don't like it....the tag line is stupid. Also, too many colours in the poster...simpler is better. NOT looking forward to this one at all.

Its an alright poster, the tag line is kind of ordinary.

This movie's getting killed over at AICN, as I accurately predicted it would due to the teenage anboy wannabe filmaker's lack of something even remotely resembling a credible filmaking resume. Read their talkback section.....you need hear no negativity rom me to see that this abomination is getting slaughtered in the mainstream movie consciousness. Nice to see that Malek's turning the franchise in the right direction. Time to watch this sucker burn baby..... Sauron

i dont know WHY the hell you people are complaining about the poster, it looks great, and to the dumbasses who are complaining about his hair, do you think Michael Myers is gonna walk into a TGF and ask for a hair cut? No, his hair will just keep growing.

The poster honestly resembles a modern day horror novel cover, but the flick is a prequel and a remake of Halloween, which assumingly, Zombie was wanting to capture the aspect of an old kind of poster. But man, It looks a lil' too cheap, and antique, and the tagline, could have definitely been better. The movie takes us back to Michael Myer's backstory and will introduce us to new revelations, so instead of "Evil Has A Destiny", why not "Evil Re-emerges (Undisclosed Backstory)", or "Evil Retells A Terrifying Story" That would fit very well in my opinion. As for the color & font on the novel cover... oops, I meant poster, the Halloween font could have looked more horrorific, but color is fine for the word though. The rest should have been black and white (Myer's mask too) with Myers (seen wearing his mask, and also a bit of his outfit) on the top lefthand side of the poster (instead of the middle where the figure in the middle obstructs a partial view of seeing his entire mask) The background should have had the faces of the victims he has killed. Across from Myer's image, should be the house with Laurie looking out the window, and at the bottom, Michael Myers standing up staring in that direction, knife in hand. I think it would be cooler like that considering he's after Laurie in this film. Anyway, I don't really like the poster but I'm highly anticipating this movie.
