oh WOW WOW WOW

I must be behind the times because I JUST heard about this, this morning. Rob Zombie is remaking the original halloween (it looks like its going to have more of a back story than the original) but from the scenes I've seen from the trailer and from the cast list, it looks to be an honest remake.

Those of you that know how HUGE a Michael Myers fan Dave is...can you believe he NEVER mentioned this to me until today?

I'm SO going to be there opening day. August 31, 2007

Here is the trailer on youtube if anyone wants to watch it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-Y2e5aukuI

and the imdb page http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373883/

I have yet to see a Rob Zombie movie so Im not familiar with his directing skills....

is anyone else as excited about the prospect of this movie like me? To me the original Halloween is my all time favorite horror movie (probably because when this came out I was already starting to babysit neighborhood kids and it freaked me out since I was only 10....yes back in 1978 10 year olds babysat other kids where I lived)

Oh-YEAH!

It's gonna be great. His style is pure '70s no-plot-no-acting-all-gore. Definitely not a movie to take a date out... but it could be a classic.

My inner Misfits fan is howling with joy. I love cheesy horror movies.

Although, really... John Carpenter (original dude's movie) is a film-making god.

"Escape from L.A." "Big Trouble In Little China" "The Thing" "Vampires"

I read an interview with JC about the remake where he said

Quote:

As for Rob Zombie's Halloween remake, he's not involved. "I bailed out of that after a while. But Rob [Zombie] has been a friend of mine for years. He did a song for me way back when [for Escape from LA]. He's a real nice guy. He called me up when they were going to make it and I said, "Just make it your own. Hell. That's the most important thing. Make it yours." If you're going to take remake advice, you could do a lot worse than JC, remakes don't come much sweeter than The Thing.

Shani... you should really watch 'House of 1,000 Corpses' and 'Devil's Rejects'

And as for Halloween... I've never been a big fan of the story line but I'm really looking forward to see what Zombie does with it. Cause, damn, he is one sick fuck.

John Carpenter's The Thing is a modern classic. It had to be said.

You obviously have never seen ANY '70's era horror movies and you even more obviously have never seen the original Halloween.

The original Halloween had a very distinct and good plot and little if any gore.
This new Zombiefied remake looks puketastically awful and will bomb at the box office, guaranteed.

It's so overcliched with the way today's horror movies are, everything and everyone is flithy and looks as though they haven't bathed in their entire lives.

This will be even worse then Halloween H2000 or whatever it was where Jamie Lee Curtis came back and finally killed her brother by running him over with a van.

I'm going to see it.

At first i thought here we go again, but on reading about it it may be watchable, please not another fog etc though.

Plan9 · 06-14-2007, 08:35 AM

(thinks) Oh, I dunno... I'm pretty well versed in '70s stuff. I grew up on all the B-flicks. Giant spiders, atomic bugs, werewolves, zombies, vampires...

These are all my monsters. Where have I seen that before?

You can argue plot like you can argue George W was a good president.

Bruiser has a plot. Most horror flicks don't have a "plot" in my opinion... they have a story mechanism that allows them to fill more body bags. '80s flicks like Nightmare and Friday... can you say these have a plot? It's a pornographic bloodbath with some witty oneliners. Masterful, but I wouldn't consider it literature. This isn't bad or wrong. Night of the Living Dead is the best zombie movie ever made and it consists of stupid white people getting killed, the first smart black guy in a horror flick, a strong female character kicking ass... and all sorts of awesome flesh eating.

I never leave NotLD feeling like I learned something, but I'm way entertained.
