I beleive the remake will be a disservice to the original. Halloween is a horror masterpiece and sometimes it's just best to let it be a materpiece without adding your take on it. I agree that Rob should've just made a Halloween 9 and add to the history of MM by using flashback. I'm not saying Rob can't make a good Halloween film, but trying to duplicate or even build on Carpenter's original film is dangerous.
Regarding the mask, I have two opinions. First, it is not as good as the original Shatner mask. The original mask is Halloween. If Rob was really trying to capture Halloween, he would've gone back to the original. However, the mask is much better than say, H2O on. The MM mask became too cartoonish. The eyebrows became very pronounced, defined cheekbones, etc.
I am excited however to see Rob's vision and see this movie. Hopefully it will revive the Halloween franchise.
Just my 2 cents.
