Remakes are a disgrace
Rob Zombie should be ashamed of himself. Of course he wouldn't know what shame meant. Part of the lure of Halloween was not knowing what made Michael Myers so evil. Zombie blew it by chalking it up to growing up in a dysfunctional family and having an abusive childhood. We can get that crap on Court TV every nite. He also took the character of Dr. Loomis and relegated him to a creep who would sell his mother for a book deal. I can only imagine the damage Zombie will do to his remake of the Blob.
Zombie also made a mess of Friday the 13th which would almost seem impossible. He made nearly every character so despicable the audience was literally cheering as Jason took them out.
We've also seen this in the remake of the Fog. Old Mr. Machem went from being a crusty old fisherman telling spooky campfire stories to being an alcoholic bum.
There should be laws for misfits like Zombie to be sued for tampering with classic horror movies.
