Today's films are completely ruining the images of these classic horror icons. (See: Hannibal Rising, TCM: The Beginning) And even though this seems to be the audiences biggest complaint, filmmaker refuse to listen. Thank God nothing ever came of the pre-burning Freddy flick!
*GASP!* Rob Zombie has no brains?!

This must be fake. It can't be real. Because The Devils Rejects was such a fine film... I mean, all the great moments like where the guy hurts the other guy, laughs, then hurts someone else. Then they all die at the end to a song that's played for too long and then the credits roll, leaving essentially anyone with remnants of a soul completely unsatisfied for having nothing to relate to. He's trying to make it "ultra fuckin' badass"? Really? With no comprehension of what made the original so great? This can't be true! What the fuck did you expect from a guy named Rob Fucking Zombie? I mean, seriously...

Is not something I'm adamently against (though I know a lot of people are). One of the original H20 ideas was for him to say, "Laurie..." just before she takes a swing with the ax. That, I think, would've been creepy. I'm more worried about the mood swing masks.

didn't rob zombie say that he wanted to reimagine "hallowen" and not remake it. we can bitch all we want about his new ideas, but nothing will be changed. the original "halloween" fans will make up a small percentage of people who go see rob zombies "halloween" let us original "halloween" fans have the good one and let the teenybopping horror crowd now have rob zombies "halloween" that from the get go wasn't going to even come close to the greatness level as the original

Would we rather another movie where Busta Rhymes beats up Michael Myers with kung fu? You really want that again? If Zombie walked into the theater and took a massive shit on the screen, it would still be better than that last abomination. And frankly, I'd rather a remake that brings something different to the table than a fucking retread.
And what is with this new trend?

I had a fear when they said Zombie was going to do it because it seemed like he did genuinely love the character but would try to add the Zombie style to it and then completly miss what it is that makes Myers truly terrifying. Still lots of time to change it though.

Rob Zombie, I hope you suffer a long, searing bout of terminal colon cancer the day you wrap this film, so that the last things you hear will be millions of people cheering your pain-wracked death because of this movie.

I'm a bit conflicted on this
by RevSick
Jan 11th, 2007
11:49:22 PM
While I have to agree with Quint on the things that he has issue with, I too feel that going that in-depth into Michael's upbringing completly misses the point, I know some people around the production and everything I've heard is that it's going to be great. Now, one thing I feel the need to bring up is the Dawn of the Dead remake, alot of people like it, and I was not a huge fan of it as a remake, as a stand alone zombie film it was alright, but as Dawn of the Dead it sucked, I think this is what we are probably going to get here, as a serial killer movie it's probably going to be pretty good, as Halloween, not so good, assuming this is anything close to a final draft.

I don't want to see the nurture version of Michael Myers, I want to see the NATURE version of Michael Myers. The bad seed... the born evil. That's what makes him the boogyman. Plus, why does everything that is bad have to be so damn BIG now? Giant football sized Predators, and now a Michael Myers that can bench press a truck. I think people are missing the point here.
Most of these companies missed the point long ago....

I mean c'mon, they wouldn't hire Zombie just to do another sequel, but you pitch it as a prequel and it sells, that's the problem with Hollywood. Right now Prequels sell so everyone and their brothers are doing them, I suppose one could blame George Lucas for that but it's a bit different when the original you put out is the second half of a larger idea, these invented prequels to what where supposed to be stand alone films never work.

I don't care what others do but I am boycotting this. I am sick of remakes. I also hate that every bad guy in movies needs a seriously long back story. Myers was a cool bad guy because he was straight up an evil unstoppable zombie. Hear nothing will make sense they just had to make him a wimp who gets beat up and blah blah blah. Screw remakes and this movie that's my stand point other people can do as they wish. I know remakes do well because people don't know any better but this seriously needs to stop. I hope Halloween remake bombs hard at the BO like really hard so they don't try this again... Wait a second didn't the Psycho remake bomb really hard? Yet they did this anyway? Oh God there is no hope! Also Rob Zombie is a sell out and my caring for his movies has gone to 0.

Since I was 14 years old, Rob Zombie has been, in my eyes, as cool as it gets. He's up there with Shaft, with Stallone, even George Romero. I've always dug his music and adore both of his films. He's one of the very, very few celebrities I got nervous about meeting, and not just because of how beautiful his wife looked. So it hurts me to do it, but I have to call bullshit. Michael Myers does not run. Michael Myers does not talk. Michael Myers is not your typical "I got picked on so now I kill people" serial killers. He just isn't. Remake or not, if your going to change something as crucial as Myers, why still call it Halloween? I like that it at least appears as if Zombie's gonna make it trashy and 70's exploitation style (though the original certainly wasn't, but it's a fun take on the subject), somebody just needs to tell him that Michael Myers is off fucking limits. Reimagine the hell out of the story all you want, but leave Mike alone, Zombie! I've defended you for too many years for you to cinematically sodomize me now! Don't you dare fuck this up. But uh, good luck with the shoot!

TOO SOON!...to review this script
by KCMOSHer
Jan 12th, 2007
12:08:02 AM
I think it's too early to judge where this is headed. One thing Zombie will have here more than any other project he's attempted is studio interference. This isn't an idea of his he wants to launch, this is a -valuable franchise- that the owners obviously want to re-launch and take far beyond Rob's take on things. The script Quint reviews here feels like a Zombie script...which is why I don't think it's what will wind up on screen. It may have gotten him hired, but I think there will be a lot of 'make it more like the original' notes passed along during production, assuming they haven't already during re-writes. If anything, my worry here is too much studio interference. Tons of nudity? Involving youngsters? Yeah, I'm not seeing that. Gore and violence (TORTURE PORN!) I can see coming from the studios of today, but they're totally reeling in the sexual content when -attached- to the violence. Even Saw III's nude scene shocked the hell out of me, despite having very little violence to it (sure, she's being murdered, but not with a axe or anything). So yeah...let's wait till they're on the set and shooting to judge what we're going to see. Before then, it's far too soon to panic.
P.S. Danielle Harris Naked

Don't get your hopes up. She's in her 20's and drop-dead gorgeous...if she wanted to do nudity, she could have been working for quite awhile now, instead of the meager pickings she's had since she's grown up. Expect the nudity to be cut, or extensive body double usage.
As far as a backstory goes...
by Zeke25:17
Jan 12th, 2007
12:12:36 AM
...the novelization for the original 1978 film came up with a dilly: waaayyy back in medieval times, some poor deformed kid named Enda (really) had a crush on the local beautiful maiden, who spurned him for the local handsome prince-to-be. So (of course) during the wedding ceremony when everyone starts dancing in a circle, Enda slices the young marrieds with his handy blade, causing much grief among all the other partygoers who pretty much tear him to pieces. He is then buried in an unholy place (kinda like the Necronomicon) and cursed to "relive his foul deed every thousand years". Or something. And that's how little Micheal Myers became...THE BOOGEYMAN. Okay, I admit, it sounds hokey. But I gotta say it beats the shit out of what's in this script so far. Just retitle the movie, rename the characters, and say that it was INSPIRED by Halloween. Honestly: why remake what was already perfectly done the first time?

I know this isn't that big a deal. It's just a movie. But Hollywood needs to quit this humanizing serial killers bullshit. It's not fuckin' scary! Every goddamn month you've got another director going on and on in Fangoria about how "this isn't just a Friday the 13th clone, MY killer is more human, so it's really tragic in a sense..." Uhh, tragic? What's so scary about somebody getting picked on and becoming a psycho? That makes me think said killer is a little bitch for not being to take a little hazing. Get over it. Is that what you've done, Zombie? Have you made Michael Myers a BITCH? So now the Boogeyman is just that little douche bag from high school that played D & D in the library at lunch? I hated that dumbass little poindexter, and if he's what you've made Myers become, I fart in your general direction.

The age of the remake is not going away!!I have always felt that most remakes get made to make a quick buck.But why they change the story,Ill never know.I guess the studio`s rigths to the property is running out for the most of the remakes,and they have to get them made.They then tell directors who want to make original movies that they must first do ,this and that remake .jadajadajada.Still Halloween today,doesn`t fly as well as it did way back when....

From the sound of it, its seems that Uwe Boll would do a better a job with the movie. I'm really not liking Zombie's interpretation of Myers...its a totally different character... But I do have to give him bonus points for casting Myer's "niece" in a very revealing role in the remake...kudos to that man, kudos to that!

I also heard Rob u'll be shooting it in 78mm then downgrading it to 8mm and then everyone will re-record their dialogue before removing it again and finally releasing it as a silent movie, save for a 100% Rob Zombie soundtrack. Oh and I especially liked the moment in the script where at the end Myers grabs his cock shoves it in Laurie's ear - finally killing her as her HEAD EXPLODES IN 3D! Then then COMES all over the screen shouting: "I'm a gonna kill you all, ya hear me dudes, I'm a gonna kill yeez alllll!!!!" Sounds like one classy remake to me.

Rob Zombie can't direct, can't write and has no cool ideas in his nappy head. He is going to ruin Halloween and what it stands for. I knew that he was going to go this way because it's so tired. And I'm sorry his wife is a horrible actress. Why you say? If you were directing a movie. Would you put her in it?? The answer is NO!! Now ask your self the same question about Rob Zombie. The guy has done two movies that are terrible. Why do you think that he could pull off probably the one of the best movies of all time??? He can't and he won't. This movie is going to be a trainwreck. I just don't understand why studios just don't give Carpenter and Dean Cundy a shit load of money and creative controle. I know the old geizer has a kickass Halloween script in the trunk of his car.

Mark my words. Hell, write them down. Because this is EXACTLY what's going to happen: 1) Zombie will make his over-the-top sleaze version. 2) Test screenings will be completely disasterous. 3) Dimension will take it and retool it into another "Black Christmas." End of the Halloween franchise. Bye-bye.

by Sledge Hammer
Jan 12th, 2007
01:52:14 AM
On one hand it's a totally different take on the concept, which I think is actually a good thing, because you can't out-Halloween the original Halloween, so your only chance to make a 'remake' that has it's own reason for being is for it to carve out it's own path. But on the other hand, the path it's seemingly chosen seems very lacking in originality and appears to have utterly missed the point of the original film, it's strongest aspects and what it was ultimately all about. I'll wait and see and judge then, but right now still curious, but far from excited. And I like Zombie as a director.
I was hopeful before this
by Franklin T Marmoset
Jan 12th, 2007
02:16:43 AM
I also thought Devils Rejects was pretty good, and I'd hoped Zombie had enough respect for seventies horrors that he could do something interesting with this remake. He's taking a different tack, which is a good thing, but this explaining of every damn thing is a very bad idea for a horror.

The dark is scary because of what you can't see, and painstakingly explaining WHY it's dark takes away the fear. I can't help but thinking that an in-depth backstory (hate that word, sick in my mouth) will neuter this character, especially when you're throwing in a grab-bag of serial killer cliches.

On a positive note, it's nice to see Joe Hallenbeck's daughter is getting work.

by JERRY HORROR

02:54:41 AM
Maybe remaking Halloween is Rob Zombie's Moby Dick. Good intentions can only go so far without a decent script. After seeing the new Chainsaw film, I am weary of too much backstory and exposition. However as an artist myself, I have to respect Zombie's decisions. The man has been trusted with a timeless, classic horror film. I know that every fan, would remake the film differently. With this being said, it doesn't mean everybody is gonna dig his specific vision. However, Rob Zombie is being entrusted with a very profitable franchise. This film restarts that. If it's a hit, there will be much more money to mine from Michael Meyers. I anticipate the studio being very controlling about certain aspects of the film. With that being said, I assure the fans, the script will be polished.

I'm worried. As a massive fan, I think the Halloween franchise does need a reboot or or just to RIP. However, it seems clear that Zombie (who I have enjoyed so far) is going humanize Myers. The key thing about him is 'Why?' - he stands pretty much alone in being motiveless in the 1st movie. I think Quint has it right when he says "make that a different movie, take the mask out of it, change the names and not draw the comparisons". Still, I'm willing to wait and see. A bold attempt now is better than another Halloween Resurrection...

As a lifelong ardent John Carpenter fan I have always been dubious about his films being remade. Why? Because they cant be bettered (maybe Vampires). I grew up with his films and Halloween is THE BEST HORROR FILM EVER MADE. FACT. Yes, this remake is gonna suck dicks but how about The Thing that is being remade soon. ARRRGHHH!! Replacing scientists in the Arctic with teenagers on an island dealing with a shoddy CGI monster that is gonna be about as scary as your average morning shit. Fuck that. As Harry has pointed out a while back, The Thing is a film you do not fuck with just as you shouldnt fuck with Halloween, or The Fog, or Assault on Precint 13 etc. You get the point. Why not remaster the originals, and release spruced up prints in the theatres. That would be sweet. Not gonna happen though. *Sigh. Next thing you know they'll be remaking The Exorcist with Dakota Fanning as Regan and Freddy Prinze Jnr as Father Karras. Bollocks. Just make sure you leave Jaws the fuck alone douchebags.

I agree. This story should be about how Dr. Loomis came to the slow but terrifying realization that Myers is not only outworldly, but is then capable of getting out whenever he wants to. In the original, he organizies the insane asylum to go outside in the rain. Who's to say he hasn't done other things easily enough? 'Who taught him to drive?' Lots of ideas come up on that. To have him show up as a hulking monster just ruins it if they go in that direction.

My position on Rob Zombie is that I like The Devil's Rejects and even had a good time with House of 1000 Corpses (although much of that film felt like straight-to-dvd hackery, there were some scattered moments of flickering brilliance throughout). I also enjoyed Zombie's self-deprecating dvd commentary in which he admits to being "not very careful" in his editing. However, despite the HUGE surprise of TDR, I still had the nagging feeling that Zombie had "gotten lucky" with the sequel. I then checked out Zombie's hosting gig on TCM Underground and was a bit underwhelmed with the job he did introducing films like Faster, Pussycat, Kill! Kill! and The Honeymoon Killers. His speaking style was monotone and unenthusiastic, and it was all-too-obvious that he was reading from cue cards. Tarantino he is not. And it sucks, because its obvious that Zombie is an all-around good guy and DOES have a genuine love for exploitation horror. Unfortunately, as we are painfully finding out, his passion far outweighs his talent and innovation. It breaks my heart to say this, but the "next big thing" is turning out to be as vacant and hollow as The Shape itself. If he turns Halloween into a winner (and I hope to God he delivers on that great poster), I will gladly eat my words. But for now, I'm worried. Say it isn't so Rob!!!

Rule 1......never show how the charecter came to be. You lose the whole mystic. Ok, im not a diehard halloween fan although i do like the first two films. I like the fact that he was a slow thoughtful killer, you could see his mind thinking all the time, very controlled and calculating. A direct oppersite to Voorhees....which is whats great about michael, he was different. It seems like this remake is changing that and thats gonna turn him into a generic slasher charecter. They should of kept the film begining when he is shut in hospital as a child and finish when he escapes and drives off. Who knows, the film could be good...after all the script doesnt mean anything, films change so much when editing them anyway. As far as John Carpenter goes, he hasnt made much that is good anyway apart from The Thing. He really isnt that good a director. Fingers crossed people.

There, I said it. I agree with Quint here. The only thing that could really mess up Halloween is making Myers human. Zombie's got such a horror boner for psychopaths, that the thought of the character being something more sinister doesen't even enter his mind.

A backstory and lots of gore. Sounds like the Black Christmas remake. Or was it Black X-Maz? I agree with most of the people here. Black Christmas, TCM, The Hitcher...they give backstory to the killers, and they're not scary anymore. I was reading an interview with the music video hack who's directing the hitcher remake, and he was bragging about how he added some personal touches to the script that will explain the character of the hitcher. It was the same thing with leatherface. He doesn't have a nose, and he was bullied at school. Now Michael was bullied as a kid. And I doubt the script will change that much. Zombie said that this will be both a remake and a prequel.

The issue I always had with the original Halloweens, was that there was no reason why he was so unstoppable. Myers was after all, just a mental patient. I never bought the pure evil stuff and just seemed like an excuse to have him keep coming back. Love the original and hate bad back story, but I always thought there should be a better reason why Micheal Myers was unstoppable apart from a bad childhood.

Because it was really like a TCM 5 but only called a remake to make money and remove the stigma the bad sequels created (Even though I like TCM 2 and 3 and I also think 3 was ALREADY a remake of 1.) They fucked it up when they tried to get fancy this year and make "The Beginning" which basically is a huge NO NO with these types of movies. Leatherface born in a factory and taunted for having a fug face? Come on. We've been here with Freddy Kreuger and the whole "Son of a hundred maniacs!" routine. I don't want to see Mikey Myers whacking off to pictures of animals, because the scene where he kills the dog is forever ruined :) Again, you don't explain too much of what makes a killer tick. It makes it less scary. When will directors get this through their heads? A straight ahead remake with good acting and a quicker pace and deadlier but not too over the top kills would have been better. It would have erased the shitty sequels that came after part 4 (Which itself was the Halloween series version of a remake.) They should have given Zombie the job to remake Friday the 13th and gave this to Liebsman. I hated TCM The Beginning only because of it being predictable when I realized there would be no survivors. (And also a 6'4 280 pound killer with a chainsaw would be VERY noticible by anyone if he's hiding in their back seat.) But as far as direction, action, 70's look and feel, and kills it delivered. Leatherface hooking the bitch out of the car was the best part. I'm sure Liebsman would have made a good Halloween. Zombie and the gore porn titty shit is better suited for Crystal Lake. Make Jason the savage who jerks off to pictures of rabbits... It would explain why he hates it when people have sex in the woods.

I like the idea of going back and giving an explanation for how the kid became a killer. That whole supernatural "boogeyman" thing never made sense to me anyway. Not that the original HALLOWEEN wasn't great, but this isn't John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN, it's Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN. Zombie likes the gritty and realistic. I prefer that too. Realistic evil is always more scary than supernatural evil.

Plenty of kids have shitty childhoods without overly-complex psych issues such as stripper moms, redneck boyfriends, sexual abuse, bullies, toilet fetishes, etc. I don't want to know why Myers is supposed to be scary. I can get that from A&E or whatever. I want him scary. Period. No midichlorian explanation!

For Holloween III - Season of the Witch minus Myers - I liked that in a sick / twisted cheese sort of way. had some balls to show all the kids dying and ending on such a downer / non stop note. Remake that! That will piss people off - not the remake but the fact all the kids die.

something else. With all the changes they are making why does it need be a remake.

Like Quint says explaining, and rationalizing his insanity humanizes him, and takes away from his almost supernatural evilness. Still sounds like it will be a fun horror flick, just wish it was called something else.

I'm absolutely stunned at how horrendous this sounds. As others have said above, this completely loses any of the original story. We don't know the reason he's a killer; we don't know how he keeps going after being stabbed and shot...he just does! How did he escape from the Sanitarium and let all the crazies go? I don't know and that scares me! Michael is an ordinary man, thin, wraith-like, whose spirit has been taken over by a ghoul. He can't be killed because he's possessed. He's not a 7 foot tall, 300 pound pervert/monster; he's maybe 6'2, 180. He does not run, he slowly stalks! Think back to Laurie in HALLOWEEN II running to get inside Haddonfield Memorial with The Shape, calmly, methodically walking after her. He's coming to get you, Laurie! Run! THAT is scary! It is fear of the unknown that we respond to. Giving him a Texas Chainsaw white trash background is not right. The whole point of HALLOWEEN is that it is our everyday world that suddenly is out of alignment because of this NON SPEAKING mask wearing creature of the shadows. He is a ghostly pale face emerging from the shadows without us knowing WHO he is or WHAT he wants or WHY is doing what he's doing. This is even worse than that that cinematic abortion TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING; more misguided than NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 3D; more painful than a razor blade supository. This is stupid and I will certainly tell my friends to NOT pay to see this travesty and to boycott everything Mr Zombie (if that IS his real name) does in the future.

The latest book brought his evil status down somewhat by revealing certain factors that were supposed to have derived this evil in the first place. Fact is, people enjoy not knowing these things, wanting our villians to just be evil-personified without explanation. Both Myers and Lecter were like that. If this wasn't attached to the HALLOWEEN we know and love, perhaps we'd all be interested in another Rob Zombie film. And I don't doubt Zombie's love for the movie and genre. But he could be fumbling this one by screwing with a movie icon.

Carpenter didn't remake 'The Thing'; his version is true to original story. I've got the book and outside of the change in time (Campbell wrote it in the 50's I think), it's pretty much an exact adaptation. The earlier B&W white films are nothing like the novel. Also...gotta admit...I'm not surprised with this "reimagined" take. The original actually expected you to either think or use your own (gasp) imagination to fill in the back story; if it was even necessary. Now, film-makers think if they don't explain EVERYTHING, then the audience will be drooling and poking themselves in the eye with forks as they try to follow along for even 5 minutes. If this script is even remotely accurate than consider another truly amazing horror legacy belittled and exploited. Talking, huge, de-mystified Myers is the huge suck. And if a re-tread is the only way to go and they suck then for the love of g-string panties don't even bother with a remake!!

Even Robert Rodgriguez... who has a very different style... would have been a better choice than this. Ratner. I would rather see Ratner do a Halloween remake than Zombie.

You what you want about the sequels but for the most part, at it's core, Michael Myers was still Michael Myers. This..masturbating to dead animals? He's taken evil and just made it like any other disturbed serial killer. Let me guess, he'll be wearing a wifebeater and khakis as well. What a disgrace to both the franchise and it's fanbase. This is an abomination.

by Uncle Henry at a family get-together when she was 14? And how the guy she married was actually beaten by his Vet dad, which led to a lifetime of abusing others and alcoholism? Do we also get a flashback about the porno shoot she did when she was 18 and how her redneck husband forced her into it by drugging her? Will we get to see Mr. Myers and some drinking buddies rape and kill a local Korean hooker? This is all IMPORTANT backstory to this film. We will need another prequel. Maybe a Michael Myers Family Portrait sort of thing, where we see the Puritan Ezekial Myers founding a village with his wife (and cousin), Goody Myers - and how their son is bred as pure evil due to witchcraft and incest. Periodically, we need a Gypsy fortune-teller popping up to cackle about "Legacies of Evil" and shit. Then, another prequel could be set in the post-Ice Age, when Mike Myer's ancestor fucks a jackal and births a deformed beast that is shunned by the tribe. Said beast could then rape a cavewoman and their son could grow up shoving mastodon tusks up his ass.

Somebody should make a movie about a happy go lucky, all around decent kid. His family isn't rich, or even all that well off, but they're a close knit bunch and love each other to death. This little boy's got a good attitude towards life and he tries his hardest, even when he fails. As a teenager he's reasonably popular, well liked, has a good time with high school, and looks forward to the future. He's just an average, all American heterosexual adolescent male. Until one day he goes batshit fucking crazy and starts blowing people away with a sawed off double barrel pistol girp shotgun. He forces his girlfriend to spread her legs whil he fucks her with the barrel, climaxing with a shotgun blast to her crotch. THAT would be surprising. Anymore, whenever I see a kid get made fun of in a horror movie, I instantly (A. Kknow he's the killer, and (B. Am not afraid of the pansy douche bag. ENOUGH HUMANIZING!!!

HALLOWEEN is a classic of modern horror.If you have as much love and respect for the genre,HALLOWEEN,and John Carpenter as you claim to you will NOT give M.Myers this lame-ass,half-baked,over expositional backstory.Sure,Carpenter gave you his blessing to make your own version,but any semblance of honor and respect you may possess shoul tell you it's wrong to piss all over the basic concept.THE HORROR OF HALLOWEEN COMES FROM THE UNKNOWN/UNSEEN.Trying to validate or explain Myers takes him from being the faceless Boogeyman of legend to being just another prick with a knife and a sad story.Do what you want with the rest of the story.More power to ya.Keeping Myers himself as faithful to the original as possible is the best thing you could do for your movie.As a matter of fact being true to the source material is about the most ORIGINAL thing someone doing a remake COULD do these days.

He'd be okay. Like, instead of grabbing the "Kill a Bunch of Hotties" mask, he grabbed the "Gotta Take a Shit" mask, we'd have 120 minutes of Rob Zombie directing scat porn. Babysitters walking down the street. An echoey phantom flush is heard down an alley. Schoolgirl alone on a windy day...what's behind the bush? Nothing. In a Port-a-Potty two miles away, a low grunt is heard. Halloween arrives. Darkness. The moon is full. Out there, somewhere, an empty toilet paper roll spins ominously.

If making Michael speak, or making him 6'10 is in the script..it's not a opinion. It's a fact. Right? Not to mention his casting decision. I't like he's trying to show us how cool he is bt only hiring genre actors. Seeing Danielle Harris, Ken Foree etc will only take me out of the movie.

Making him that big is a huge mistake since size shouldn't convey the terror, it's all in the face or mask and body language. Seems like Zombie missed the simple elements all together. What a shame since he's such a horror fan.

I came to a conclusion. Remakes, no matter how good they are, will always be flawed. You have an original film to compare it to. The remake doesn't stand a chance. The whole film industry is suffering due to a lack of original scripts. If Zombie said hey, I'm gonna make a movie largely inspired by Halloween, I think that would fly better. Betting on horses that have won races in the past, seems to be a solid bussiness plan. At the end of the day, Rob Zombie will get a paycheck to remake one of his favorite films as a kid. Who wouldn't want to do that?

Here's what wolvenom said earlier: "that was the ultimate definitive version OF WHAT IS "THE THING" whatever crap your talking about that came before carpenter's THE THING should be abolished.......". First of all, the short story these films are based on is called Who Goes There, not "What is The Thing?" Second, its one thing to prefer Carpenter's REMAKE (oooh I called it a remake because it is one, what are you gonna do, tough guy?) to the original (I like it better myself), but saying Howard Hawks' The Thing from Another World is "crap" that should be "abolished"? Let me take a wild guess here: you liked the Dawn of the Dead remake better than the original didn't you? In fact, you thought the original was "crap" and had "bad effects, bad acting, and was boring" didn't you? Well kiss my ass, loser. You are not a real film fan. If you were, you wouldn't post such ignorant bullshit. People like you are the reason remakes make so much money (and consequently, are made in place of original films that could actually move the horror genre FORWARD). Newsflash: Carpenter's The Thing came out in 1982, 25 friggin years ago, and its STILL being used to justify remakes! Oh wait, its not a remake because the original film was in black and white and had no gore, therefore it doesn't exist. Now, if only YOU didn't exist...

..when the Zombie HALLOWEEN was announced, there were ample warnings that the new film would be a "re-imagining" and have little to do with the original. Remaking horror movies is a very risky business. Unfortunately, passionate and educated fans don't control the box office, 'John Q. Public' does. I loved HALLOWEEN, but personaly I have always been fonder of THE THING and IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS. I'm not sure if I'll like the new movie, but I loved the misanthropy, chaos, and anti-social attitude of Zombie's other two movies. I gotta look on the bright side, ya know...otherwise I'll end up never liking anything. EVER. AGAIN.

Friday the 13th isn't the sacred cow Holloween is, so it should work to his advantage. Besides, it wouldn't take much for that script to magically change from Michael Meyers to Jason Vorhees.

Honestly you need to stop acting like it's the end of the world because Rob Zombie is making a remake and it's not going to be exactly like the original. Judge it when it comes out and remember the 1978 movie will still exist no matter how good or bad it is. There is more justification for this kind of bitching when the director is some no name music video director, but when he has already proven himself with an excellent horror movie (Devil's Rejects) then give him the benefit of the doubt until he gives us a film to prove otherwise.

This guy has taste that I just do not agree with (Oceans 12 Mummy 2) and uses the word "double ugg" in a review. Plus there is a lot in Zombie's style that can't come across in a screenplay. Its not going to be the next GODFATHER but I'm looking forward to it.
Why isn't Zombie remaking "Maniac"?

That's basically what this is - fucked up kid becomes serial killer. Just throw in some guilt, nausea and a "real" side to the killer. "Maniac". Fuck "Halloween" and fuck this "I have such love and devotion for this property so I am allowed to tear its anal orifice open with my directorial cock!"

I guess it is interesting; this generation is getting Freddy/Jason/Michael retreads. In the past, the same damn thing happened with Dracula/Frankens
