'H2', Rob Zombie's sequel to 'Halloween'

[The Dark Defender]

That's Michael's mom that he imagines is telling him to kill for her from beyond the grave.

Out of place is putting it mildly.

[The Apatow Crew]

Does anyone have a downloadable version of the trailer in Quicktime?

Out of place is putting it mildly.

So I take it that it is out of place for the franchise/character as opposed to just out of place with the rest of the trailer's tone ?

Does anyone have a downloadable version of the trailer in Quicktime?

Sweet, thanks.

Thought the trailer was decent. Looks like a vast improvement over the last film.

I hate to judge a movie like this but..I'm not digging it. I understand that Rob is trying to do something different here, but we're losing the 'child like' Michael Myers who's scary because he was simple. Simple mask, simple outfit. That's it.

Here, it looks like...a guy dressed up as..Rob Zombie. Complete with dirt and hoodie.

Yup, and his costume was that of a homeless man.

Or maybe Hoboween.

[Balthus Dire]

Hmmm I think I've seen a similar costume before somewhere...

Eh, I don't really see the similarities other than the fact that they're both wearing jackets. Michael's still got his coveralls and is wearing a vest over that.

[theShape]

Whoa, never even realized the jacket made him look more like Jason.

[Nightmare]

Great.

I guess Rob wants us to see Tyler Mane.

[-Arya-]

I actually think Michael with the jacket looks like someone else.

The Asian guy with sunglasses? :huh:

[-Arya-]

No. The guy in the middle wearing a jacket with the hood over his head. :o

[Balthus Dire]

No. The guy in the middle wearing a jacket with the hood over his head. :o

...because he has a hood? :huh:

[-Arya-]

Well....when I saw Michael in the trailer it reminded me of him.

Apparently, Im the only one here who plays Tekken.

[ABleedingCorpse]

lol..So if I put on a hoodie, I'll look like Michael?

[The Original Bamfer]

Well....when I saw Michael in the trailer it reminded me of him.

Or the only one here who thinks he looks like that dude from Tekken. :huh:

Whatever. Its not worth debating over something so insignificant. Lets just move on.

I had forgotten that Jason wore a jacket as well.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Honestly, as I said, I think this film will surprise alot of people. I mean, it just seems like it's going to go so in depth in things. However, it just as well could do bad, to. We'll just have to wait and see.

[ABleedingCorpse]

Yeah, look at how creepy my avatar picture is.

[Nivek]

I had forgotten that Jason wore a jacket as well.

Not till the last 3 films. He always wore a long sleeve work shirt, and slacks. This jacket crap came from casting skinny guys and needing to bulk them up. Probably the same deal they did with Tyler to make him look tall and wide.

Its NOT!!??

There are no words for how bad that is.

He looks like a guy wearing a mask, I think you have Metallica confused with Slipknot or Mudvayne.

I guess I could get over the new look,but it better be a darn good movie. I'm just not diggin' the whole ghost crap and I hope that crap gets edited from the movie. Though I doubt it since its Zombies wife in it and we know how much Zombie loves showing off his wife.

It appears as if it'll play a large part in the movie. So, no, I highly doubt it'll be edited out.

Adding depth can be a bad thing. For me, it was the mystery that always made Michael scary. After they started giving him silly motives in Halloween 4 about a cult controlling him, I no longer feared him. I'd imagine it will be the same with him seeing his ghost mommy telling him to kill.

[Nivek]

:hehe:

Not to sound like a douche, but I think some of you don't really grasp the whole slasher film thing. What is this movie supposed to match up to, in your eyes? Because given the history of the franchise, including bad story elements, flubbed relaunches (H20/ Resurrection), and the basic babysitter killer storyline, it's like you guys expect Kubricks the Shining, and not The Burning.

[Norman Bates]

Personally, I'd like to see an Oscar nomination.

[Nivek]

After they started giving him silly motives in Halloween 4 about a cult controlling him, I no longer feared him.

It was implied in part 5, they did the full on Cult of Thorn thing in part 6.

All Michael was supposed to be was an escapee from a Mental Asylum. The supernatural thing is just tacked on to make Michael more compatible with Jason and Freddy. The Thorn thing, if it was developed in a timely manner, would have worked better. But hey, it's a slasher flick, the storyline in these movies are usually secondary.

[Nivek]

Personally, I'd like to see an Oscar nomination.

Right after a comic book film wins best picture... And we seen this past year how that deal works...

Not to sound like a douche, but I think Zombie's the one that doesn't understand the whole "slasher film" thing. If you watch the special features on the last one, all they talk about is how the film is so character driven and psychological and blah blah blah. It was unsuccessful in the last film and made Michael LESS scary rather than more. I mean, you can bash the old films all you want, but let's not forget that Michael Myers removed his mask and shed a tear in Halloween 5 (most embarrassing moment of the series, worse than Busta kicking his ass, mainly because I try to pretend that Resurrection doesn't exist), and he nearly did the same thing in the remake with Laurie. He knelt before her, handed her a baby photograph, and removed his mask. Was Zombie actually trying to make us sympathize with Michael at that point, after he hacked and slashed his way through dozens of people?

Maybe it's just me (and many others), but Michael was much scarier when he was a ruthless psycho that snapped and killed for no apparent reason, and wasn't egged on by bullies, abusive boyfriends, excessive cursing, visions of his dead mother and what not. Remember, Zombie is the one that adds these unnecessary elements. And to clarify, I really don't think Zombie is a bad director. I think he's got a pretty good eye and a knack for details, but he's just a horrible writer. If someone else wrote the screenplay and Zombie directed, then we'd be on to something.

And it's not like anyone really expects this film to be Kubrick-worthy or anything innovative. They just want to see something scary. I just want Michael Myers to be scary again. And sadly, the remake wasn't scary. Sure, there were parts where you may have jumped, or said "That's gross" or "There's so much blood" or "His mask is dirty, I'm scared!".

Someone I watched the film with recently said, "Imagine if a dude that size busted into your house like that." And that really is a scary thought, but I want to feel that when watching the film, and not have to imagine it happen (The closest Zombie came to that was when Michael killed the Strodes, because that felt real). I'm not saying he has to do exactly what John Carpenter did or any of that crap. I wouldn't have cared if they altered the story, changed details, left out the famous sheet-ghost death, etc. I just want Michael Myers to be Michael Myers, and I want there to be a sense of dread and suspense when watching a Halloween film, which is something the remake lacked. I hope that changes with H2.

I can see where you're coming from, but I thought there were lots of truly scary moments in Michael's character in RZ'z Halloween. There were lots of times where you could see Rob's personal touches with excessive violence and swearing, but IMO there were others where he was clearly influenced by the original and made Myers creepy rather than just a hulking giant.

For example, the scene where Lorie finds her friend screaming naked on the floor, then she runs to call 911 and the door slowly creeps shut and Michael comes out from behind the door. That was brilliant if you ask me.

It's okay. Some people just get pissy when people voice their opinions and it doesn't match with theirs...but what REALLY bugs them is when it's presented in a well-though out, cohesive manner. :up:

[SsM]

Regardless, It's not okay

[ABleedingCorpse]

No. It's called for. Everyone's been sounding like a douch and mentioning it. I don't really care about the opinons stated or what you think about this or that...it's just become so repeatitive that it's bored me to death. I can only handle so much of hearing about Swine Flu this week that I'm ready for a Nucular War to start just to hear something new. But this thread, it just goes back and forth about the same thing over and over again, and like I said, it's cool, I don't really care, it's just gotten boring. Two weeks of this and I'm ready for something else. You can have all the cohesive manner rants you want, it's still the same thing you said before that I've read twenty times already.

I've actually come to this thread in the past week to just read a little to put myself in a sleepy daze and go to sleep.

[ABleedingCorpse]

Regardless, It's not okay

And to clear things up, I was refering to theShape and Nivek, who both did the same as I by saying "Not to sound like a douch". LIKE those two, I didn't want to sound like one either (even though I know I'm sounding like one anyways), but I'm seriously yawning to death over here reading this stuff.

I'm not pissy about argueing over something. You're opinions AOK with me. I'm just very tired of the same back and forth discussion over something we discussed last week, the week before, and the month before. It hasn't gone anywhere, it's going anywhere, and will be in the same place next month as it is now.

Nobody is going to convience the other of their foolishness. I know where you stand, You know where I stand...great! Now let's try and be creative and think of something else to discusse that related to H2, Halloween, or how ruined the series is regardless of Zombie or it's producers.

I'll start, Laurie in the original smoked pot. Discusse that and how it relates to H2's Laurie.

[Nivek]

I'm sure after surviving the attack and being left an orphan, she is acting out quite a bit. I think smoking Pot would be tame compared to most girls going through a freakout/ breakdown. Atom bomb fallout is what I'm expecting to see.

I certainly don't want to see Laurie mumbling, limping, and crying for 90 minutes again, let's see some modern character development.

For his size, RZ's Michael was pretty stealthy. I like how he still had Michael looming, but within a more dangerous personal parameter. And Michael's strength didn't seem too outlandish, but still had that unearthly quality to it. Like when he pinned the guy to the wall. It always seemed a bit off in the first one, especially given the guy in that film was taller than Nick Castle.

[Nivek]

The Joker was described as having an appearance that made him look like he had Leprosy. Alot of people dig that.

JLC in Halloween II was some what comical. Slap a bad wig on her, and tell her "act like your tripping on acid".

H2's Laurie interest me a little bit from the trailer. "I'm not strong enough". What the hell does that mean? Who's she saying it too? Why the hell isn't she strong enough? Does she need to go to the gym and work out? But it's more like, she's not stronge enough to deal with everything that's happened and she prolly said it to her theropist. Which reminds me, she has a scene where she goes bat **** crazy on her doctor.

[Balthus Dire]

I'm sure he'll mirror a lot of Laurie's psycho scenes with Michael's from the first.

I'm sure this movie deals more with the Post Traumatic Stress Disorders of many of the first films surviving characters. Look at how some people have developed that survived things like school shootings, they either go to one personality extreme or another.

[S.A.A.D.]

Ugh,what is up with the Metallica member talk??

[Gallagher]

I JUST DON'T KNOOWWW!!!

*runs away*

[ABleedingCorpse]

Well, this seems to be a different subject to talk about in the H2 thread. St. Anger wasn't a bad album, but it was far from what I expected from a Metallica cd. I haven't heard much 'metal' from the new album either. Wish they'd go back to be alcoholics for metal's sake. Give me Master of Puppets 2 or just play random simple licks with a solo. Go back to having the punk influence.

Enough about Metalickballs. Back to H2:Halloween 2...is that going to be the name or what? Two 2's? It's like repeating the title twice. Too many twos.

I rewatched JC's Halloween. I really love the scene of Loomis spooking the kids at the Myers house. Funny. But what annoys me is he's been at that house all night and he never notices the stationwagon until Brackett shows up. All he had to do was turn around and see that car to know Michael was there and yet, I'm guessing, he just stood there the entire time watching the porch. What's up with that?

Also, why are Linda and Bob talking about ripping Lindsey Wallices cloths off? I found that funny. Maybe it's because they were talking about being at Lindsey's house where ANNIE was babysitting and forgot that ANNIE was the one they would have been ripping cloths off of, not Lindsday. Bob sounded like a total child molester to me when he said that stuff...like TOTALLY.

Now back on track to H2. I'm still up in arms about this whole Mother/Michael thing. It just seems too strange and off setting from the Trailer. I'm hoping there's something that makes it a little more complex that just 'Michaels crazy' and his mother tells him ****. But other than that, I'm looking forward to the film.

Off topic, but who else thinks Elivra, Mistress of the Dark is still totally smoking hot?

[Johnny Drama]

Whatever, ABC. **** Metallica.

[Gallagher]

Whatever, ABC. **** Metallica.

... Did Metallica collectively rape you as a child?

Anyway, ENOUGH about Metallica, H2 looks like an improvement upon RZH but not by much, I'm not too keen on the Jason similarities but other than that it's looking solid.

H2 Set Visit and Exclusive Interview with Rob Zombie

Bloody-Disgusting spent an evening on the set of Rob Zombie's H2 back at the end of March as the production was nearing its finish on day 27 of 33. It was a rainy, chilly night in rural Newborn Georgia where Zombie and crew were shooting a scene at Sheriff Brackett's (Brad Dourif) house. Details were scant, but the scene involved a dream sequence that had Taylor Scout-Compton dressed in a red and yellow clown costume and creepy kiddie mask. In the scene we observed, Dourif and his fellow officers raced up to the house, red and blue lights blaring, in a caravan of brown Haddonfield police cars.

We only got a few minutes with Zombie on the set, but the director seemed in good spirits, aside from the weather. "Everything's going great," he told press. "This rain is the only thing that's killing us every day. Every time we plan to do something, it rains. We always figure out how to shoot something, but now we are getting to the end of the schedule, so things have to match. You can't jump around so much. There's almost no more interior stuff, so its kind of a bummer."

Zombie added that he was enjoying the freedom of the sequel since he didn't really feel the obligations to be loyal to the series, now that the first movie is out of the way. "Since it was a remake I felt some responsibility to retain elements of the original. But with this one I don't feel any responsibility except to go crazy with it."

The details of H2 remain under wraps for now, but as the official trailer debut gets closer, fans are starting to put the plot together a bit. "I can not tell you a lot," said Zombie. "It's a ****ing crazy movie, that's for sure. It's really layered and there's a lot to it, but I wanted to pick it up and when you follow all the characters you really [see] how ****ed up the characters are from what would have happened. It's not like anyone survived it without being completely a mess. It's pretty good. It starts really dark and gets darker. There's really no nice moments in the whole movie. Dr. Loomis is kind of living this pseudo-nice life and it all goes bad. So he has a few nice moments, but everyone else is having a bad time trying to deal with it."

After the brief chat on set, Zombie had to get back to work and we had to get to the other side of Georgia for another horror shoot, THE CRAZIES. Luckily, we were able to catch up with Zombie again this week from the editing room to discuss the H2 production a little further and also get some updates on what's next, T-Rex or maybe even H3?

Bloody-Disgusting: How far into the H2 editing are you?

Rob Zombie: We're about a week or so.

BD: Are you completely done shooting or will there be reshoots?

RZ: We're done shooting as far as I know. There's always a chance of reshoots, although with this schedule its unlikely.

BD: Was it just the tax cuts that brought the production to Georgia?

RZ: Well, the tax cuts were great, I guess, but that's kind of irrelevant to me. Georgia worked out great just for the locations, especially for that time of year. The other places I would have worked, it was still winter. They were still having snow. Georgia has a great look and it worked out well.

BD: I know you said you wouldn't do a HALLOWEEN sequel after you finished the first, but did you have at least an inkling of where you might go in a sequel?

RZ: It was totally starting from scratch. I didn't ever think I was going to do a second one, so I never even thought about it. I had no ideas whatsoever.

BD: How does the psyche of Michael Myers in this series differ from the Michael Myers of the original series?

RZ: I'm not really sure what the intention was with the originals. I've obviously seen the first one a million times and however he progresses in the sequels, I don't remember, so its kind of hard for me to compare and contrast. I figured that they made eight HALLOWEEN movies before I came on board in any way, so they'd done them all from a certain point of view. So that's when I thought I'd like to switch it up and turn Michael into more of a character, not just a guy in the shadows all the time. I thought making him more human, in a sense, would make him scarier. Not that I didn't think he was scary the other way, but like I said they already did that eight times. For me, I keep trying as much as possible to play it as if its a real situation and how that would take place.

BD: Did the criticisms of the first movie pop into your head as you were making the second, or did you just have to put that all out of your head?

RZ: I just separate myself from it. If someone says something bad, it doesn't mean anything, and if someone says something good, it doesn't mean anything. You just have to do what you're going to do. I was thinking about this the other day. Its not that you ignore everything, but it has to come from a source that you understand. When its just a person that you don't know that has an opinion, its pretty meaningless in a way.

BD: You seem to be having a little more fun with the rumor mill this time around with the beard stuff and the Daeg recasting controversy.

RZ: This time, it was basically kind of funny. I didn't pay any attention to it because it was so funny. Rumors are so funny because rumors will start and then the rumor will answer itself. Then I will see my response to the rumor, which isn't even my response. It's someone else saying I said this. My favorite is the guy saying, ‘Well I heard...' I'm like, ‘Where did you hear it? You're like this 14-year old kid in Wisconsin who lives with his parents. You heard? If you were on set standing behind some producer who's talking, well then maybe you did hear something.' That's always the greatest out for a ******** rumor. A lot of times people start rumors and if you don't respond to them, they think that that means its true, where as I'm like, ‘Well why should I respond to every crazy thing that someone says?'

BD: Its funny because you have people that hated the first movie going crazy because Daeg was recast and saying this movie will suck because of that.


RZ: I came to a conclusion a long, long time ago. Long before I started making movies. It seems virtually impossible to please anybody with anything. Back in my days of making records, it seemed like no matter what you did, they hate the album and then you make a new album and they hate the new album but they'll tell you how much they loved the old album. And it goes on and on... You just don't ****ing know. And making movies is much crazier than making a record. You just have to stick by your guns and let the chips fall where they may.

Replacing Daeg was a bummer. It wasn't something I wanted to do, but he wasn't a little kid any more. He showed up and he was like he was 17. He was tall and big and his voice had changed. It didn't make any sense with the script because it was supposed to be [Michael] as a kid. I didn't have any choice, but that was a hard decision. I tried making it work, but it just didn't work.

The thing that's fun when you read people's complaints is that they're always paranoid that there's an evil plot afoot. (Laughs) ‘They're doing this because...' and then they name some horrible reason. And sometimes its just because that's the way things work out and its a tough decision and it wasn't something you wanted to do. It's not because of any other evil plan that anyone has.

BD: When will the official trailer debut?

RZ: Yeah, it's funny, because I didn't know that [TV footage] was going to be out. According to Bloody-Disgusting, [the trailer] comes out this Friday on YouTube or something. But I actually don't know. I haven't been paying any attention to it, but that sounds like that could be true. I know that the trailer wasn't finished yet, but it might be now.

BD: And Daeg's face appeared in the footage that just came out. There's also the rumor that a digital version of Daeg's face would be in the movie.

RZ: Yeah, that was pretty funny. I did hear that and I'm like, ‘Why would I go to that much trouble?' I think there was a shot of Daeg that they left in the trailer by accident, because a lot of times, you know the people who cut the trailers aren't the people working on the movie and they don't know what the ****'s going on. There's a couple things in there that are kind of funny. It was actually from a test footage day, it wasn't even a scene from the movie. There's some other stuff in there too that are like makeup tests and stuff. (Laughs)

BD: Release isn't until August, so you've got a lot of work to go.

RZ: Yeah, its August 28th. We're at such an early stage right now, its hard to even tell what you're working with.

BD: But you're happy with how the shoot went?

RZ: Yeah, it was a very different experience. HALLOWEEN was a very troubled shoot from Day 1. Sometimes you get a shoot like DEVIL'S REJECTS where every second goes perfectly, every day is wonderful. And then you get one like HALLOWEEN where everything is a ****ing pain in ass 24-7. It was one of those ones where, if something could go wrong, it was gonna go wrong. This time is much better. I've got a new D.P. and a better team around me and it made for such a different experience.

This one was tough, because with each film you try to expand what you're going to do. Especially with HALLOWEEN, you don't want to just do the same thing again. It would be real easy to make a film of Michael Myers just running around in the dark killing people. And you think, ‘Well, I'll try to do something more than that.' You've just got to push yourself harder. That was the trick, I guess.

BD: After this, is H3 a possibility?

RZ: Even though I said I wouldn't do H2, really I definitely won't do H3 and I don't think anyone else will either. I was happy to come back, kind of like with DEVIL'S REJECTS, you want to come back and see how you can take it to another level. But I didn't want to do [a third] with that either and most of the actors didn't want to do it either. They felt like it had been done. This time, I really feel like enough is enough. If somebody else wants to do H3, I'd be happy to see what they're going to do with it.

BD: Well if this succeeds, its hard to imagine there won't be an H3 in some capacity.

RZ: I would think they would do them forever if they could. I would assume that the day after this one opens, somebody will be having that conversation, but not with me.

BD: Is H2 the official title?

RZ: I can never get a straight answer out of anybody, and frankly there are some battles I really don't feel like having yet because there are bigger issues. The trailer was another one. Like, what scenes are in the trailer? I didn't give a ****. For all I know, there's tons of stuff that's in the trailer that's not even in the movie. I just can't pay attention to it.

BD: Do you think you'll shoot T-REX after this?

RZ: I don't know, maybe. It depends. That's the thing, these days, every day it gets harder and harder to get movies made. And these days, it gets harder and harder to get something made that isn't already something. Everything is a sequel, a prequel, a remake, a graphic novel, a television show. I've gotten offered a million movies, and every single one of them is a remake or a sequel or a TV show. Its unbelievable. At least with H2, it didn't have to be based on anything except my own crazy ideas, so it felt fresh to me.

I would love to do [T-REX] and I still intend on doing it some day. But its a tough sell. They just want to remake anything, even if its something you've never heard of.

BD: Are you a boxing fan?

RZ: I used to really like boxing a lot. I don't pay attention any more. I can never sustain prolonged interest in anything, it seems. (Laughs) I just get really excited for a little while and then I move on to other things.

BD: I should probably let you get back to the editing room.

RZ: Please don't. (Laughs) Editing can make you ****ing crazy. Its nice to get out of there for ten seconds.

H2 arrives in theaters August 28

[Booznian]

Haha, it does resemble Hetfield. Oh that brings me back to my good 'ol Metallica days.

[Punisher Rising]

This movie looks like more of the same from the first to me, but at the same time it sort of looks like more of it's own thing too, which I think is actually a good thing, since this distances Rob Zombie's Halloween films more from the originals.

[Spider-ManHero12]

James Hettfield is a b**** Hetfield kicks ass, if you ask me.

[CrypticOne]

That's a pretty good interview with Zombie.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Agreed. Also, I know this isn't exactly H2 related, but ah well. It'
s Halloween related. I've played the theme on a guitar, but I don't own one. Here's a vid of a guy playing it. It's EXTRMELY easy, which is why he's not looking down. It's also very easy on the keyboard.

Playing it on guitar isn't hard at all, it's like super easy.

Funny though, I was in SAM'S CLUB a couple weeks ago and they had a keyboard set up and I just stood there playing the Halloween theme on it for ten minutes. It was pretty fun to do. People just walking by me looking, some knowning the sound and laughing. It was fun.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Lol, nice, and I agree! playing it on keyboard was he best, IMO. I could even play the background music. Only challenging part was getting your brain to adapt to using 2 hands at once, which I mastered. I don't have a keyboard anymore, wish I did though. Only thing i played were movie themes, lol.

[Figs]

Best part of the review. :)

This next part is so true.

I think it's a fake.

Rob Zombie's name on the poster only? Not other names at the bottom in a small font or anything?

Fake.

[Nightmare]

I thought Zacky made it.

[Sawyer]

I'm guessing it's fake, since it doesnt say H2.

[Nivek]

Looks sweet. I think it's real.

[Johnny Drama]

If Zacky made it, then it is a great fan made poster, and all the negative criticsm is not warrented. But if it's the real deal, it looks like a fan made, which is not good.

[Balthus Dire]

Pretty sure it's fake as hell.

[Spider-ManHero12]

If it's fake though, then how come we never saw that image of Michael before? Kind of confusing.

[ABleedingCorpse]

Rob Zombie himself posted the poster on his myspace. It would be just something he recieved and decided to share to us, or he could have made it quickly just to give people something. He didn't give a comment on the poster explaining it.

To me, it looks fake, along with the title Halloween 2 and the poor photo quality used. If it's real, it's just a teaser poster like the other's have been. But as of now, we have no offical comment from anyone involved with the movie about the poster other than Zombie himself posting it on his myspace.

[Johnny Drama]

The poster really looks like a piece of ****. I hope whoever made this didn't get paid too much because this is something anybody on here could have made with Photoshop...

[theShape]

So far, both teaser posters have been terrible (if this is indeed real) and look to have been made with little to no effort. I don't necessarily blame Zombie for this, but the marketing effort has been sub-par for H2.

[Balthus Dire]

I thought the first teaser poster was alright.

I would be floored if this poster was real since the title is completely different than what they've been promoting and it looks like something anyone with Photoshop could put together in 10 minutes. I mean, look at the resolution on that pic of Myers! It looks like it was scanned from a magazine and blown up.

I mean, look at the resolution on that pic of Myers! It looks like it was scanned from a magazine and blown up.

The first teaser was no better, and may have been worse. It was the title "H2" over a gray-scale picture of Michael from the first film. A monkey with down syndrome could have put that together on Microsoft Paint.

Now this? Lame. I never even mentioned how I was bothered that the teaser trailer was only attached to NY and LA prints of Crank 2, and then made a relatively low-key splash on the net. I feel like this movie would be much more successful if they actually had a cool campaign that reached a wider audience beyond those that lurk on Zombie's Myspace page.

Again, I don't blame Zombie, since he mostly likely has nothing to do with advertising. I blame the studio not being creative or shelling out a little more cash to promote it.

The poster is lame. The movie looks lame. (sigh)

[The Dark Defender]

It's real, Rob Zombie himself was the one that released it.

It's another bland poster that looks like it could've been photoshopped by any random fan within under an hour, better than the teaser poster though.

This movie will blow even harder than Zombie's first Halloween. There, happy? :p

[The Dark Defender]

I don't know if it'll be very good...I think it'll be better than the remake though.

Does that count as positivity?

The clip doesn't really show enough to get a strong reaction one way or another, a few seconds of running and screaming and an axe swinging...the mask looks really cool though.

Not nescessarily. Movie studios adjust their schedules all the time. It's about earning the most profit, not imaginary macho posturing.

H2 is hardly the first production to seek out an opening with little or no competition.

[Spider-ManHero12]

The Saw franchise can kiss my ass for all I care. They suck, plain and simple. Halloween 2, IMO, would dominate Saw 6 if they were released in the same month.

I don't think the Weinstein's have any real interest releasing Halloween films around Halloween. Hell, if you look at most of the films they produce, the release dates come off as if they pulled a bunch of dates out of a hat.

Considering no one has released a honest Horror film around Halloween in some time (excluding Saw for personal reasons), it would be interesting to see the Weinstiens ball up and re-release it that weekend this year.

I'm actually starting to prefer the hooded half mask Michael visuals. but that looks pretty tight. I like how Tyler looks big without being bulky.

I can't stand to read Fangoria anymore, 70% of the stuff in it looks like DTV garbage, and the pictures from mainstream films look pretty crappy at times. Which is sad because I used to be an avid Fango reader in the 80's and early 90's.

Super Hi-Res Look at a Bloody Michael Myers!

Probably the coolest image to hit the web yet features Michael Myers (Tyler Mane) looking bruised, beaten and bloodied up in his Haddonfield hunt for Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton).

I love this response on bloody-disgusting in responce to the negative responses to the blue tinted photo and that Petition to stop the film from being released...


SukMyBoomStik
Well, there we have it. That is undeniable proof that this movie will fail. There was never a blue light in the original Halloween. I can't believe Zombie is such a hack that he would actually believe that a blue light is scary. I'm going to start a petition to ban this movie because I am a pretentious douche who can't handle change.

[The Apatow Crew]

lol., that's funny. I don't even bother reading the comments.

[Nivek]

The comments sound very familiar, and so do the responses.

This makes me wanna write a really bad B-movie where the villain is a blue light.:oldrazz:

Visually, loving the new look more and more. Definitely more than willing to give Zombie a second chance based on the new images and trailer.

Ugh... people who petition to stop a movie from being made are just the biggest morons on the face of the planet. Not to mention that pretty much everything from H2 looks pretty damn awesome... you just cant please some people.

[The Apatow Crew]

I really like the new image! Honestly, I think that'll be a HUGE scene. :up:It should play out well then.

[batlovescatDC]

Seriously, when they are gonna release an actual poster for this film. It's coming out in theaters in two freakin' months. Get rid of that teaser poster that's been out for over 6 months and give us an actual poster. Oh well, still psyched about this.

FX artist Wayne Toth's makeup trailer on the set of Halloween 2 (http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/films.php?id=8895) was the home for many grotesque images, a few which are discussed in our interview with the man here (http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=10188). During our time on set, we saw the photo below, posted by Rob Zombie today on his blog. Yes, that's the result of running into Michael Myers. You'll find another glimpse of this poor sucker here (http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.viewcustom&friendId=28735418&blogId=494013986&swapped=true).

Zombie Unveils Another Look at Loomis

Halloween 2 (http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/films.php?id=8895) sees the return of Malcolm McDowell, once again playing Dr. Loomis, the man we presumed was dead at the end of Rob Zombie's remake. Yep, he's back, pimping a new book about his experience with Michael Myers until he comes face to face with the killer one more time. Below is a new photo of McDowell with actress Mary Birdsong who plays his publicist Nancy. Birdsong recently popped up in Adventureland and was a regular on Reno 911! She's also pretty damn cute in shorts (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1969590528/nm0083487).

A Bloody Behind-the-Scenes Look at 'H2'

Now we're getting somewhere! Rob Zombie is finally off the Michael Myers and Uncle Coffins rampage and bringing us some other look at H2 (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/film/1612). Yesterday we got Dr. Loomis and his publicist, today we get a really sweet behind-the-scenes look at Wayne Toth's FX work on the sequel arriving in theaters August 28th. The image features Toth working on Scout Taylor-Compton, along with two (spoiler warning) images of a dead "someone". Check it inside.

The dead 'someone' is just disgusting.

[SsM]

Yeah... That didn't do it for me...

[The Apatow Crew]

The dead 'someone' is just disgusting.Disgusting in a good or bad way?

[Marx]

Disgusting in a good or bad way?

Bad way.

[The Apatow Crew]

Bad way.What is it too violent for you?

You should know what to expect from Rob Zombie. He said it was going to be more brutal and violent then the first one.

[mclay18]

He's gonna have to cut it if the MPAA slaps it with an NC-17 rating, which will probably be cuts to the sexual elements rather than the violence.

[The Apatow Crew]

And if he does, theres always the dvd.

But i prefer the theater version to the Unrated version of the first one.

I do know what to expect from Zombie. I just see no point for that level of gore in a Halloween movie.

I can deal with all of the stabbing, and the rooms washed in blood, but the dead 'someone' is a little much.

Its what alot of horror fans want, they want the blood and guts.

[Marx]

I'm all for blood and guts...but what made Halloween different from all of the other horror movies was that it didn't need to rely on those things to be scary. As I said, I'm fine with the rooms washed in blood. The dead 'someone' seems like shock value and nothing more.

You know?

You know?And what I said before this is not the halloween from the 70's and early 80's. It's a different thing.

I know, but what can you do? If its not something you don't like don't see it. ( I don't mean to be a jerk in that last part, I'm just saying.)

I will be seeing it because it is a Halloween movie.

I'm just saying that seeing how far you can push gore on an audience is the place for Saw, not Halloween.

[The Apatow Crew]

Sinde when was there any torture in the first film?

[Bond]

And if he does, theres always the dvd.

But i prefer the theater version to the Unrated version of the first one.
I do as well. I bought the unrated version first because it's usually better but I ended up returning it for the theatrical version because I like that one much better.

[The Apatow Crew]

I do as well. I bought the unrated version first because it's usually better but I ended up returning it for the theatrical version because I like that one much better.I can't even find the theatrical version anywhere to buy. I even looked in the pre-used sections.

I just edited that post.

[Bond]

I can't even find the theatrical version anywhere to buy. I even looked in the pre-used sections.
Hmm, I got it like on the first or second day that it was released. Perhaps they've gotten rid of it by now.

[The Apatow Crew]

Hmm, I got it like on the first or second day that it was released. Perhaps they've gotten rid of it by now.Ibought the 2 disc unrated the week they came out.

I'd only want it cause I like that escape scene better, then the one in the unrated.

[Bond]

Yeah that's the only really big difference in the unrated version. I despise that breakout scene. The one in theaters was badass.

[The Apatow Crew]

Yeah that's the only really big difference in the unrated version. I despise that breakout scene. The one in theaters was badass.Yeah, thats about the only thing I don't like about the unrated version, of him switching the escapre scenes. Atleast part that scene in the deleted scenes.

http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/update-more-on-weinstein-co-meltdown/

TWC is in trouble ( and I'm glad they are for dumping Rogue and Outlander in theaters). Basically, they may not even have all of the money to release H2 and Inglorious Basterds this year.

[The Apatow Crew]

H2 is with Dimensions not TWC.

I looked on the binder of the Halloween dvd and it said Dimension not TMC. TWC and Dimensions are different companies I thought.

[enterthemadness]

TWC owns Dimension, dude. Harvey and Bob ran Miramax and Dimension for Disney years ago...something happened, they left Miramax, but took Dimension with them. Now Dimension, I have no problem with. Like the logo and they like horror. But, they are run by TWC.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension_Films

Dimension Films is a motion picture unit currently a part of The Weinstein Company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weinstein_Company). It was formerly used as Bob Weinstein (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Weinstein)'s label within Miramax Films (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miramax_Films), to produce and release genre films. The Weinstein Brothers took this label with them when they departed the Disney-owned Miramax in October 2005.
Dimension Films is merely a brand and does not exist as a separate company. It is simply an alternate label for The Weinstein Company's genre releases.

[The Apatow Crew]

Oh, all right then.


Just hope the film comes out.

[enterthemadness]

Oh, all right then.


Just hope the film comes out.

It probably will, but the type of release and marketing is unknown. TWC is right now just trying to get all the money they can to release both films. It's so bad, they pushed back other films...so they can liek I said, use every friggin penny they got to put the movies in theaters with marketing.

[Nivek]

Not a fan of the Weinstiens, but don't this flick should suffer for it...

[enterthemadness]

Never really got into the original Halloween Series (Or Nightmare, but did with F13 watching part 5 up to the reboot). Is Zombie.......any connection to the other movies, or does Zombie plan on remaking just a few of the Halloween movies?

[The Apatow Crew]

I think from the things he's said this should be the last one. Atleast from him.


(Yeah, I know he said that last time)

[Balthus Dire]

I do as well. I bought the unrated version first because it's usually better but I ended up returning it for the theatrical version because I like that one much better.

I'm in the same boat. The only reason I don't own the first movie is because I absolutely hated the unrated cut, and there ain't no way I'm going out and buying the theatrical one when it's only in full screen. Pffft!

I got excited when I heard of that 3-disc set coming out, and then I found out it didn't include the theatrical version for some retarded reason.

[SPIDERMAN117]

I dont know why. Ive seen Halloween 2 so many times but this part today I laughed at so hard.

Yeah, that was pretty much out of something like Top Secret. Why the hell would a van explode like that? Was Michael Bay Trick or Treating there as a child?

Worst. Explosion. Ever.

never crash into a van at 20mph :eek:

[Nivek]

Never really got into the original Halloween Series (Or Nightmare, but did with F13 watching part 5 up to the reboot). Is Zombie.......any connection to the other movies, or does Zombie plan on remaking just a few of the Halloween movies?

The first film shares elements of the basic plotline of 1 and part of 2 (Michael & Laurie being family). John Carpenter himself just asked Rob Zombie one thing when he remade it, make it your own. And for better or worse, he did. Halloween 2 is supposedly all new story, but it does involve a Hospital at the beginning. The resemblances begin and end with that. You can say all you want about the films themselves, but Zombie stayed true to his word to John.

[SPIDERMAN117]

So Im not alone when it comes to laughing at that part?

[Balthus Dire]

So Im not alone when it comes to laughing at that part?

I just laughed at the youtube clip alone. The 80's were hillarious...apparently cars can explode when you lean on them too hard.

[Agent Z]

The explosion never bothered me. I mean, that is one of those things one can spin as a viewer.

The question I could never shake: Why IS a police cruiser recklessly racing around the neighborhood streets...on Halloween night even?!

[Spider-ManHero12]

Awesome looking figure! :up:

I really like the hood, I played a character for a High School lip sync show in High School (Metallicas 'Enter Sandman'), and all I did was wear a deluxe Grim Reaper robe with a Michael Myers mask, everyone loved how it looked on stage.
