I have faith.

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.

And the ground almost covered smooth in snow,
But a few weeds and stubble showing last.

The woods around it have it--it is theirs.
All the animals are smothered in their lairs.
I am too absent-spirited to count;
The loneliness incluces me unawares.

And lonely as it is, that loneliness
Will be more lonely ere it will be less--
A blanker whiteness of benighted snow
With no expression, nothing to express.

They cannot scare me with their empty spaces
Between stars--on stars where no human race is.
I have it in me so much nearer home
To scare myself with my own desert places.

Desert Places--Robert Frost

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.

If Rob Zombie goes through with this remake he should be shot in the head slow mo style (aka 1000 corpses)!!!!!

Leave it alone, the lagacy has already been fucked over to many times.

I just don't know how to feel.:( I mean, so many have screwed up my beloved Mr. Myers that i don't know if I can take it again. But, I guess i'll have to give Rob a chance and see it when it comes out.
