Oh this is sooooo sweet...I'm def. picking these bad boys up. I love the Halloween series even though it's been screwed up beyond all belief by the Akkad family (hopefully Zombie brings it back on track). I'm not a big fan of the 5th one but IMO Halloween 4 is one of the most underrated horror movies period and the best sequel of the bunch.

Only Halloween movies worth seeing IMO are 1 and 2. I have the LE from a few years ago for Halloween that has the original cut and director's cut, also individually numbered. Pretty sweet. And I just have the Universal SE for 2. Season of the Witch started a horrible trend in Halloween movies, at least part 4 got Michael Myers back

Halloween 3 was just terrible and Halloween 5 was over the top. If you have seen the Producer's Cut of Halloween 6, it is a much better version of the film than the Theatrical Cut. They cut out so much of the movie that it wasn't even funny.

H20 and Ressurrection weren't too bad, I think they were better than 3 & 5.

I've hated every one of them from 3 on. All have been bad. 1 and 2 are fantastic because Carpenter did them, after that, all crap. Just like Nightmare on Elm Street, after part 1, that series went completely to ****.

Interview with Rob Zombie from June 16 on halloweenmovies.com.

HalloweenMovies™ | The Official Halloween Website

http://www.halloweenmovies.com/

We begin our coverage of the next HALLOWEEN film with a short interview with writer/director Rob Zombie. Thanks to all the fans that submitted a question to Rob... we received over 2000!

QUESTION: Why do you feel that you are the person to take on this project? (from Anna in Florida)
RZ: Because I have a vision that I believe can work. If I didn't I would go near it.

QUESTION: Can you please clarify what you mean when you say you are "not making a sequel" and that your Halloween will be a "re-imagining" of the series? Isn't that just another word for "remake"? (from Cole in Chicago)
RZ: Well, sort of. I am basically making a prequel and a semi-remake of the first film all in one. So really in theory there will be more original content than remake content. That's why I don't like the word "remake."

QUESTION: What is the title of the next movie, and are you finished with the script yet? What can you reveal about the storyline of the new movie? (from Eric in Canada)
RZ: HALLOWEEN, no and not much.

QUESTION: For the next film, are you planning to maybe go into what Michael's childhood was like and how and why he became the serial killer he is? Is it at least going to take place in 1978? (from Sylvain)
RZ: Yes, I think this aspect of the story is very important in order to bring new life to the character of Michael Myers. The film begins in 1978.

QUESTION: Halloween is the most influential horror movie ever made and I for one am not happy about a remake. All of the remakes to hit theaters - from Texas Chainsaw to The Omen - were total crap. Why touch a classic like Halloween? Why would you even risk this? (from Mike in New York)
RZ: Like I said in Question 1, I wouldn't even go near this project if I didn't feel like a had a fresh, worthwhile approach to the material. Besides, I'm not touching one single frame of Carpenter's classic. That film will remain as it always has.

QUESTION: The masks in the past 4 Halloween films were all different, and some of them weren't scary. Are you going to re-design the mask, or will you stick to the Captain Kirk version that was used in the original film? (from Todd)
RZ: I want to keep the mask classic.

QUESTION: Are you you planning on using any previous characters from the first 8 films (like Laurie Strode and Dr. Loomis) or are you planning something entirely new with no old characters? (from Jamie in Scotland)
RZ: Both, but I won't tell you which just yet.

QUESTION: Since you are a musician, will you be doing the entire music score for the film, or will you be collaborating with anyone else? And will you integrate any of John Carpenter's classic themes into the score? (from Craig)
RZ: I do not plan on doing the score for this film myself other than in a supervisor position. I have already done some work with the composer and we both feel that Carpenter's themes are classic and will play an important role.

QUESTION: Your films are known for their gore, but the Halloween films haven't been very gory, they have been more suspensful. Do you plan to focus on gore or suspense in your version of Halloween? (from Paula)
RZ: I plan to focus on character, mood and terror.

QUESTION: How does John Carpenter feel about your involvement in the new Halloween? (from Zack in Georgia)
RZ: I talked to John about it and he was vey supportive. He basically said, "That's great Rob, go for it and make it your own." What more do I need?

------

I know that this is a month old, but I'm excited to see what Rob Zombie does for this franchise. I think that he will be the one to bring back the series to what it once was. It will be interesting to see how he puts all this together. With him starting all over, hopefully we won't see any bad sequels down the road.

I had heard rumor that Halloween 9 was still being made, is that true or false?

Have you heard a possible release date for this movie? 2007?

I'll search for the thread also.

I'm with you. From 3 on sucked. At least some new life will be breathed into this franchise.

Re: Halloween, Halloween 4, & Halloween 5 Receive DiviMax Treatment

BTW Halloween 9 is a no go from what I understand, Zombie's movie is taking it's place.

I haven't picked up Halloween on DVD yet, I guess I'll pick up a new movie tomorrow when I go to town.

I have the entire series on DVD, my favorite slasher film franchise of all time.

It's hard because I have 3 series that are my favorites for Horror:

Living Dead (Romero) series
Halloween 1-8 series
Evil Dead/Army of Dark series

Re: Halloween, Halloween 4, & Halloween 5 Receive DiviMax Treatment

Well, I'm really going into town to pick up the new AAF cd, but I doubt I will, so I'll probably come back with a couple DVDs. I'm ordering the uncut edition of American Psycho now and I'm going through my movie list, and at the moment my "horror" section seems the best, well besides Hidden Fortress and The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly.

I want to pick up Army of Darkness, but I don't know if I want to drop 30 bones on the Boomstick Edition now or later.
