It appears that Rob Zombie will be back to direct a sequel to his remake.

The remake is a guilty pleasure of mine so I'll end up going to see this.

Dear Rob,

"The first half of your re-make was truly awesome, as you really made it your own...and then in the last 35minutes, you stopped. Dont be lazy, and make halloween 2 like the first half of halloween 1".

PS: Devils rejects = awesome. corpses = garbage. Rob Zombie gets drunk sometimes.

Oh no, I won't come on. I'm a fanboy of this series yes, but I think I can say objectively that even all of the separate sequels (most definitely including H20) is better than the trash that Zombie came out with. Say what you want, but he is taking an already tired idea and completely DESTROYING any future chance of making it better or taking it in other directions. If little akkad was smart he would go back into production for another original sequel with some no name director and let Zombie take his fucked visions and overused batch of acting nuts and make a different awful film.

i love Rob Zombie. love his music, has one of the best live shows in America when he tours. Always a fucking good time. But his movies are all absolutely fucking terrible and I wish he would stick to what he's good at, a live act. I know he loves old films and horror as seen by his crazy stage set ups and music, but honestly...dude sucks donkey cock at movies. A wise B-Bones once told me, "stick to what you know" well Rob... stick to what you know.

i am a huge fan of the original halloween and all of its sequels, but i am in that minority that dug zombie's take on it. sure it had some flaws but overall it was alot better then alot of the other remakes hollywood churns out. and def better then alot of horror movies hollywood puts out. i dug the shit out of 1000 corpses and rejects, and i for one cant wait til rob can let his michael myers loose without having to worry about the remake tag. as long as he pays some sort of homage to the original part 2, maybe a brief hospital sequence or something and then just let the michael madness begin. ill take any form of michael myers over any bullshit teen based "horror" flick, shitty dtv sequel, or gay ass vampire flick studios churn out a year anyday.

I love the Halloween franchise. With that said, I was disgusted by the remake and do not even intend to see the second RZ installment. Taking out the blank stalker-complex and replacing it with a white-trash childhood and a roided out hillbilly physique was not the way to go and contradicts the artistic approach of Michael Myers.

I would have hopes for this if Zombie didn't write it. I personally think he does have a good cinematic eye, but his writing teeters from mediocre to absolute garbage.

I agree with you. I loved Devils Rejects but hated Halloween and House of 1000 Corpses. I'm beginning to think it was just a fluke and the rest of his movies will be awful. I honestly have no interest in seeing Halloween 2

The entire point of the first film was that you didn't know why Michael was so fucked up. He was just evil, with no explanation. That's a large part of what made it so scary. Rob Zombie completely fucked that up with his bullshit explanation and background story. Totally ruined the film.

People think FAR too highly of the original to get this pissed off about Rob's remake, and for the life of me I can't understand why. I get that it was one of the founding slasher movies, but come on, it has not aged well.

I liked the remake for what it was, and that was a modern slasher movie.

Is Godfather any less great becasue to todays, dumbdown and oversaturated audiences, it would be seen as overly long, boring, complicated and tame?

And to 'defend,' yes Halloween is as great and strong a film today, as the day it was released. For a horror film it is as close to 'timeless' as it gets.

First picture relased of Michael Myers in Halloween 2.

Apparently we will be able to see his face in this one.


Rob Zombie's love affair with Michael Myers will continue this summer when he releases the followup to his HALLOWEEN reboot (http://joblo.com/hello-michael-myers#) entitled H2 (http://joblo.com/upcomingmovies/movies.php?id=3196), which will pick up directly where its predecessor left off, and will be seen through the eyes of Laurie Strode. Recently Zombie (http://joblo.com/hello-michael-myers#) alerted fans that Myers will be seen without his mask in the film, leaving many to speculate on whether or not the mass murderer will have acne. For now, we have no choice but to revel in this first image of Myers, which was just released by Zombie upon wrapping the film. In the image, Myers looks pretty beaten up, however the director cryptically states that this is only "one of the many faces of Michael 2009." I still say he should have acne.

Yeah I spent the last 3 hours reading through hundreds of pages of the official H2 Message board....reading every bit of casting news, story news, pictures, previews etc, etc. Everything I've read or seen has been terribly discouraging. He's going to kill this character and its killing me. Those of you who were fans of his first outing just simply don't have a true love for the original series - in my eyes its entirely contradictory to claim otherwise. This whole thing is a huge bastardization...I'd rather have Bay and Platinum dumbing it down than this trash

I'm just upset because RZ "reimagined" it to shit, rendering the possibility of another reboot right from the beginning extremely unlikely. I mean sure, they can go and make more original storylines and sequels (with Busta Rhymes!) once RZ goes elsewhere, but amidst all these new reboots, it would have been nice to see my favorite series make a worthwhile comeback

Possibly, but Hulk and Superman (and their respective teams) only got one shot - it failed - and a new search immediately began. The studio gave RZ and his team another go around, at the very least its a couple year set back.

Wasn't very impressed, although I wasn't turned off either.

there are a good amount of small but important changes (adding and removing of plot-heavy scenes in particular) that really twist the story into something completely different.

also, i'd just like to mention that after watching the new trailer for H2, i have to wonder who edited it. it should pretty much be subtitled "The Spoiler Trailer"

I wouldn't say #4 is especially under appreciated...it did make a SHIT LOAD of money when it was released. I do think that the series as a whole is underappreciated. I can hardly even get through most the F13 and Nightmare on Elm Street sequels because they are so campy, intentionally poorly-made, and just laughably bad. I've always felt Halloween always at least tried to be good (outside of Halloween: Resurrection).

And, to address another post. Halloween 6 Producers cut is better....but not that much better if you ask me. No matter which cut, I've always loved how ruthless Michale is in H6.

going into the movie there are going to be no scares or any thinking "oh is he/she gonna die?" i counted at least 6 kills in there. plus i now know what happens to Danielle Harris. i was sorta pumped for a good chase scene that very well (however unlikely) mightve lead to her surviving.

Halloween is like the godfather of slasher films, it created buzz in itself and went on to make pretty good money during it's run. But the thing about Halloween that makes it what it is is the fact that it is scary. It used unique elements that you don't ever see in movies these days because let's face it, it's all about the gore, for example...when Annie is talking on the phone with her boyfriend, just seeing the way Michael is standing behind her on the other side of the curtain, that's some freaky shit!

With Rob Zombie's version, he focused more on the origins of Michael Myers and you know something...it worked. As a HUGE fan of House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects, I knew what to expect, a brutal telling tale of Michael Myers with a mix of raw, dirty, "hillbilly" things that are expected from Rob. I don't think he was in it to try and win over new fans...he's just a horror guru like most of us and he put his touch on a classic slasher film, the slasher film.

The problem in the first one was that the childhood backstory sucked and then no one gave a shit about when Meyers was an adult because his victims didn't have any character development/it was a rehash of the original, which had much stronger characters.

Also, I didn't like the white trash hillbilly dialogue, and it sounds like it hasn't improved in this new one.

Are you kidding me? You must've seen a different movie. The first 35 minutes of this movie being a fucking "dream sequence" is absolute bullshit]. I mean, it would've been okay if it was an actually WELL done and scary sequence, but it was just mindless killing. No suspense...absolutely no horror throughout this entire movie. The whole plot element of the "White Horse" and Michael aimlessly following his mother to get back to "reunite" his family was so horribly executed and was INCREDIBLY campy and retarded.

This movie was so bad that my girlfriend and I were like "Fuck it" and we walked out about an hour through because it was such a fucking waste of time. I'm sorry, but if you're definition of horror is watching someone get stabbed 9 times or have their face repeatedly bashed in (and I'm talking about a full 2 hours of this bullshit) with absolutely no jumps, no suspense, and no legit thrills, then you seriously have something fucking wrong with you.I strongly recommend that no one see this movie.

How the fuck can Rob Zombie get away with putting 3 bullshit dream sequences in a movie? One lasting 35 minutes? I don't even care if this isn't spoilered because none of you should see this movie anyways.

Are you people saying you actually ENJOYED the lil White Horse nonsense? or the fact that the movie is just Michael stabbing people or repeatedly bashing heads in for the ENTIRE movie? There's no thought or creativity to any fucking kill that happened in that movie. The plot made NO sense.....randomly stopping at his mother's strip club for absolutely no reason and just killing everyone there? wtf anyone? The whole white horse bit? Michael apparently has to "eat" a dog to survive? REALLY? Because it's not like he gets shot/killed repeatedly and is seemingly dead after most of the Halloweens and he always comes back, but now he needs to eat to survive?! Come on.

Spend your money on Cold Souls, Inglorious Basterds, or hell, even The Final Destination. This is honestly the worst movie I think I've ever seen. It had me literally saying out loud "Are you kidding me?" while wondering how this movie even got the "go" pass the ENTIRE time.

Final Destination would at least have creativity in the deaths, unlike this movie. There was no suspense, no thrills, no nothing. It was mindless. If you like watching someone stab someone 15 times or repeatedly bash someone's head in, and then have this repeated throughout the entire movie, then by all means, this is your movie.

And I haven't seen a lot more hatred for Final Destination. And you're right, creativity in deaths doesn't make something good, but the fact remains that Halloween 2 was fucking horrible. No plot, no suspense, no "horror". How can you justify having 3 dream sequences in a movie? The first HALF of the movie was a goddamn dream man! SUCH a cop out.

first of all, the 3-D glass doesn't cost money. The ticket for a 3-D movie just costs more. So unless you go see it in 2D, you are paying more. You really are making yourself looking like a raving idiot.

Maybe we go to different theatres. It's not more expensive over here. And the 3D glasses do cost around 3$ at certain theaters around here as well, so I don't see how this makes me look like a raving idiot.

Look man, I run a movie theatre. Its my job. Now you might have some shady fucking theatre you go to that doesn't follow rules, but 3D tickets cost more. Glasses are free, you can take 13 pairs if you want. If someone is charging you for glasses, then they are pocketing the money and robbing your ass.

I was just saying how it is. Not saying that I fall for it. But either way, sounds like our opinions on Halloween 2 are drastically different, so we'll just leave it at that and no hard feelings. I just don't understand how this film even got the green light.

Its pretty easy to justify it. People who experience extreme trauma from violent events often suffer irreparable damage to the psyche, especially in regards to dreams. You watch your friends get murdered by a lunatic and who also kills your parents, you have dreams about it.

but using that many dream sequences in a movie makes you lose all sense of "horror" or "terror" from it. You just go "Oh hey, another dream sequence!" every time something 'scary' is happening. You can only use it so much without dumbing down the rest of the movie's desired "effect". And 35 minutes is just ridiculous. The viewer ends up feeling cheated by it.

Both your everyday newspaper/online critics as well as the horror community are showing a lot more love for The Final Destination (though, they aren't liking either much). I trust their opinions (particularly my favorite horror websites/magazines) over whatever the pimple faced assholes walking out of my local megaplex are saying.

Not defending either, just sayin'.

Truth, but I just have a hard time believing anyone who comes out of a movie with THAT much hatred towards it. I disliked Final Destination immensely, but I don't rant and rave about how it is the worst thing in cinema history. The fact that someone does makes me take their opinion for granted, because it sounds like there is a personal issue at stake. Almost like they went in WANTING to hate it. Know what I mean?

I feel ya man. I know I'll hate H2 because of my immense love for the original and extreme distaste towards Zombie's first butchering (looool get it). I know its become "edgy" to hate remakes, but as a big, big horror buff, it just sucks to see these types of films put out over and over throughout the past 3-5 years.

I guess the thing that upsets me the most, though, is seeing him waste his talent. But dudes gotta make money just like the rest of us, I guess ..... and this shit is a goldmine.

Are you kidding me? You must've seen a different movie. The first 35 minutes of this movie being a fucking "dream sequence" is absolute bullshit]. I mean, it would've been okay if it was an actually WELL done and scary sequence, but it was just mindless killing. No suspense...absolutely no horror throughout this entire movie. The whole plot element of the "White Horse" and Michael aimlessly following his mother to get back to "reunite" his family was so horribly executed and was INCREDIBLY campy and retarded.

This movie was so bad that my girlfriend and I were like "Fuck it" and we walked out about an hour through because it was such a fucking waste of time. I'm sorry, but if you're definition of horror is watching someone get stabbed 9 times or have their face repeatedly bashed in (and I'm talking about a full 2 hours of this bullshit) with absolutely no jumps, no suspense, and no legit thrills, then you seriously have something fucking wrong with you.I strongly recommend that no one see this movie.

For the record, I've never, ever, walked out of a movie in my entire life.

Completely agree, such a piece of shit movie. Beyond the plot, acting, and stupid dream sequences, the lighting was way too dark most of the movie. I read a really funny review on Ain't it Cool News where the audience turned on the movie at a midnight screening.

I was so let down by this movie. The story is fucking horrible, the timeline seems all fucked up. Its not scary, its not suspenseful, its just fucking stupid. Its so much worse than the first one (which I enjoyed) and its definitely Zombies worst movie to date.

Rob zombie has no concept of what the fuck the halloween movies were ever about, the first one was decent but the second one was terrible.

"Jump" moment are usually looked at as cheap scares and very, very frowned upon in the horror community. :shrug:
I don't consider this movie to be a "horror" film. I jumped at a few parts yes and it was ridiculously violent and graphic, not scary but I can't lie and said I didn't jump once or twice. I'm not going to defend this movie because I wasn't expecting anything from it at all and that's what I got. Saw it once, will never see it again. For me, it was worth it because it was free but I wouldn't tell someone to go out and spend anything to see it.

Sure it is labled "horror" film but it was just a lot of drawn out killings - no real scares, supsense,, tension, ect.. This is what I meant.

I ask because Halloween 3 had absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the movies. Didn't even have Michael in it. No murderer, no nothing.

my bad, I read your original post wrong. I thought you were refering to another sequel, not Season Of The Witch.
