Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Looks like Mr. Myers is getting a bit stab-happy with this new poster for re-HALLOWEEN Part 2. I think I'm actually going to like this one. The photography glimpsed in the trailer is pretty good and it looks like Zombie's just going fucking bizarre with the movie, giving Myers a Jason-ish mommy complex... except instead of a decapitated head and sweater, Myers sees Sheri Moon Zombie as a Kabuki-esque apparition. The further he takes it from Carpenter's mythology the better. He's already done the damage with the first movie, making Loomis a dickhead, evaporating any mystery from Myers, stripping the shape of the death allegory and making him a pissed off evil man-child... the damage is done, so if he goes bug-fuck crazy with this one I'll be happy to see it.
Here's the one-sheet, which is surprisingly graphic for an MPAA approved poster. I think it's the hair in his hand that crosses the line, but I like line crossings, so theater owners won't get an angry letter from me.
