The Trailer For Rob Zombie's H2 Might Surprise You...

Beaks here... Let's see... the ghost-white shape mask is gone, the main theme has been jettisoned, and he's gone from scope to flat. Perhaps they should call this one ROB ZOMBIE'S HALLOWEEN, and re-title that '07 abomination SORRY, JOHN. I have not been the biggest Rob Zombie fan, but I'm receptive to the idea that he might one day make a horror movie that truly unnerves. And while I loathed what he did to John Carpenter's classic the last time out, the trailer for H2, which just premiered at Yahoo! Movies, at the very least looks original. The abandoned hospital stuff in the first minute is damned effective. As for the new-look Michael Myers, I've got to say that the hulking drifter look is pretty terrifying. So here's hoping that Zombie doesn't go overboard with campy music cues and distracting celebrity cameos. Okay, it looks like it's too late to cut back on the latter (the IMDb tells me that Howard Hesseman, Margot Kidder and "Weird" Al Yankovic will drop in at some point), but... I'm trying to be positive here. I'm honestly intrigued by this trailer. Thrill me, Rob.
