'Halloween' Sequel Heads to E.R.

With Halloween 2 on track for an August release, many have been wondering just what exactly the film is about. Rob Zombie has said that it will focus more on Laurie Strode dealing with the aftermath of the events of the first film, and, obviously, Michael Myers returns to her life somewhere in the vicinity of October 31st. But many questions remain, including, where will it take place? Bloody Disgusting may have just learned the answer.

According to local resident Fred Walton, who has been following the production in Georgia, Rob has spent the entire past week seeking hospital locations around Atlanta that would be suitable for shooting “the bulk of the film”. Walton, who has also obtained a copy of the script (of which he says “it’s really EXTREME!”) tells us that the Halloween party and “in the town” stuff that has been shot (see pics here) will mainly be confined to the first twenty minutes of the finished film, and that the rest of it takes place in a hospital located on the outskirts of town. Several hospitals have already refused to allow the production to shoot there, due to the script’s graphic content and the fact that all of the doctors and nurses are depicted as degenerates and scumbags, which they fear would tar their image. However, there is one hospital, which is on the brink of closing anyway, that has reportedly agreed to let Zombie and his crew shoot there, as long as their name isn’t used in the final film (which shouldn’t be a problem - Walton says that the script names the hospital “Haddonfield Memorial”). The deal is all but signed, but everyone is confident that it will indeed be the film’s primary locale. Said Zombie, “St. April’s Hospital is a great shooting location; I’d be a Fool not to shoot my Halloween sequel - which I still swear I'm not doing at all - there.” Zombie has also sworn off making a 3rd film, saying he would never make a sequel to a sequel. He then wrote the script for one, “just in case I change my mind”.
