does any one think that this movie is going to be worth watching. I mean dont get me wrong i loved rob zombie's two films but if he remakes halloween wont it turn into just another gore fest like his other films. halloween wasnt about gore it was about suspence and fear, not blood and guts.my main question is is anyone going to go see this?

I know I'll see it, but I'm having a tough time trying to imagine myself enjoying it. I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Zombie, both as a director and a fellow horror fan, but I can't see this clinking in with his style.

Halloween is one of my sacreds...I'd hoped it'd never be done, same with The Evil Dead, but it was only a matter of time.

sadly this is true.halloween will be redone by as you said a very respected horror movie director . but zombie's blood and guts style wont fit in with the original halloween.

I absolutely agree with you.

If it HAD to be redone.

Lets just be happy it was given to someone that gives us a LITTLE BIT OF HOPE.

RZ is a true horror fan, he knows what is at stake here.


Also, i saw him in concert last week. and John5(the guitarist) played the theme from halloween while Mike Myers came out on stage with a knife.


The mask then got ripped off, and it was rob under it.

Needless to say, they rocked hard and the crowd LOVED it.

Personally, I feel that Rob will be able to craft something really unique with this "re-imagining".

Fans of the old Halloween will be able to appreciate it. I don't think it will be considered just a "remake", as he wants to put his own spin and story on it, simply using the Halloween mythology. Or that's what I got out of it. It'll be very different, and hopefully because of this Halloween fans (everyone) won't bash it. It's a tribute, I'd say... like HotC was a tribute to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

If he does a real grimm, dark, shadowy setting... with blue and green and red hues... and focuses visually on the contrast with that of Michael Myers, giving him a real badass, yet still silent, presence... I can see this beind good. Use the original scores, only jazz them up. Re-orchastrated all of them, make them more complex and appealing to our ears. But still recognizable as the same music. What The Omen should have done.

I'm not so sure of it. i mean i am the biggest halloween fan i personally know. i guess im just worried that if the movie does bomb that it will kill the original which in my opinion is the greatest horror movie ever. I just don want him to fuck it up and get halloween off to a bad start with the new generation.

I am a bit weary about this I must say. If Zombie sticks to the style of his first two movies, this clearly will not work. Let's just hope he will be able to "tone down" a bit...

Peter Jackson made Braindead and Bad Taste then ended up doing Lord of the Rings and King Kong. Once a guy does a certain type of film it doesn't mean he's restricted to said style.

The ''destroying the legacy'' thing doesn't register with me, I thought 1-6 were all good movies. H20 wasn't that good but fun and enjoyable, Resurrection was completely cheesy and a good laugh.

i think the remake will be realyl good but in its own way.just liek the texas chainsaw was awesoem but in its own way...it was different but also similar....ya gotta give remakes a chance...plus ive read the interview with rob it seems lieks he gonna try and keep true to the carpenter original..

I think we should give him a chance to prove himself as a director to one of the greatest horror movies of our time. however i do think it\\\'s bullshit that he\\\'s in charge of the movie. i think that you guys are right with the whole blood and guts vs. suspense and real terror. but every good horror movie has to have some blood and gore, but not grotesque. i think something that should be added is a freaky ass little kid that no one knows about till the end of the movie and it turns out to be Stephen Lyod( jamie\\\'s son from Halloween: the curse of Michael Myers)

i heard it was supposed to come out on Michael\\\'s B-day next year
which is oct. 19
oh and i don\'t they should remake it i think they should elaborate on what we don\'t know, like what happpened to John Strode ( lauries son)

I can't agree more. Halloween basically defined the slasher film. Remaking it just seems wrong. While I'll watch it on DVD just to give it a fair shake, it will certainly never replace the original in my collection!

That would be horrible.

Keep an open mind.

Thats my theory for approaching this remake...Would Sid Haig be able to give a performance as good as Donald Pleasence? Not a chance.

Would he be able to put a totally different twist on the character? Personally, I think so.

I really hope Zombie decides to take this in some radically new direction...there is no way in Hell that he can re-create the original, so Im hoping to see something new and different. As horrible as it could turn out, Im holding onto faith in ol' Rob.

Personally, I'm just sick and tired of all the damn remakes. The reason these films are remembered is because they were ORIGINAL! Maybe it's time for Hollywood to get off it's lazy ass and start making something that is unique and different, like say.. a brand new idea, Not just a tired retread of something we have all seen before.

You guys should read the Rob Zombie interview. He says it's more of a re-imaging than a remake.

John Carpentar's Halloween theme remains, but it's a little different. Same score though.

I'm really excited as Rob said that the script is nearing completion and they are currently looking at different places to shoot now.

The theatrical release is planned for October 2007.

I'm a big fan of the original vision of Halloween. However, I am curious to see Rob's take on this movie. I mean I see Rob as being a really violent movie maker, so I think it will be interesting to see how me imagines a movie that was mostly driven on suspense rather than numerous amounts of gore.

Well if "Hollywood" is going to get into Horror we are going to get shitty films like "The Curse" Wes Cravens older shit Last house, Nightmare, Hills have eyes were good because He wasn't mainstream yet, he did what he loved. If you stay true to yourself and your fans and not worrying about what some guy in a suit sitting at a desk has to say, your going to put out good work. Its when you have to get approval from these "hollywood" Producers of what your going to do. When you produce your own film or have friends that produce it, it's going to extremely kick ass. Zombie has Carpenters Approval on this remake and I don't think zombie's going to let Mr. Carpenter, Halloween fans, or any of zombie's fans down on this film, as someone said before he knows what is at stake here and being a true horror fan himself this film will be a great film.

Does anyone know what company it's going to be release under ? I think Lions Gate Films are the best for Horror movie's they have more "balls" to show new and different shit.

Doc Faustus
10-19-2006, 08:31 PM
If Zombie reimagines Halloween, it's not like it will be in the hands of some suit who doesn't have any interest in or respect for the genre. Rob Zombie is as big a horror fanatic as most anyone on this forum, and is an interesting director who will be smart enough to show the necessary restraint to get into the spirit of Halloween. Halloween is a subtle slasher flick and I think Zombie can tell that's part of the appeal. He was able to carnivalize the atmosphere of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Eaten Alive and other slasher classics, adding a sense of fun and a metafictional edge that a lot of movies don't have. He knows why we go to horror movies and it stands to reason, knows why people love Halloween. I think we should let him prove how much passion he has for the horror genre, if he hasn't already. And in regard to Lion's Gate, they've come up with a lot of hip, original horror, but Lion's Gate horror is still something of a gamble. Lion's Gate is pretty much run by a big rubber stamp. It's good to give struggling filmmakers opportunities, but I think they still need work when it comes to separating the wheat from the chaff. That said, I think back to a quote from some writer (I can't remember who) who was asked if he was disappointed that Hollywood ruined his books. In response he said, "They didn't. They're still right there on the shelves." The source material doesn't change when a remake gets made, nor does the attitude about the original. If Zombie does fail, there will be no end of nostalgia for the original. So, we need not worry about losing Carpenter's classic, or about it disappearing from American culture. Remakes are often offensive and stupid and a shame to the original, but the old material won't get any better or worse. I'm more worried about the Wicker Man remake, since the Wicker Man is a movie that not everybody in America has seen. In this case, curiosity over the original might not be excited.

These are comic book movies, anything goes with these. Also The_Return said these are not remakes, Batman Begins was a restart b/c the series had gotten so fucked-up after Batman Forever. Superman Returns takes place after Superman II so this is a sequal/restart.

Better conperisons would be The Fog, The Grudge, The Hills Have Eyes, The Amityville Horror, you know actual remakes.

call it a remake, retelling or a restart it still annoys me. prequel or sequel fine but geez these people need to leave things the way they were and have original ideas. why remake the whole series just because the last few movies sucked? that doesn't make the first ones bad. call them mistakes and move on, don't redo it all.

that's different, maybe cause it's an entirely different form. and i'm not against all remakes anyway but for some reason remakes/retelling etc of a series annoys me. the idea of "we F'ed up so let's trash it all and start over" is annoying. admit you made a crappy movie and move on or leave it alone completely. and if the movie is good like in the case of halloween why in god's name would you want to mess with it? in my opinion it could never be as good as the original no matter what.

i agree 100%. the new additions to the originals stunk.
