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

[The Apatow Crew]

Yeah, I find that interesting as well. I mean, if they mean Michael films, then, tbh, I think that's bad thinking by them.I don't know, it's just possible internet talk.

[bullets]

Hmm, a Halloween 3 remake possible? I doubt it, but Rob isn't saying no...

i'm for another halloween movie but please don't let it be season of the witch. Why? IMO, as a stand alone film, Season of The Witch was great.

[Nightmare]

Season of the Witch is epic.

[Johnny Drama]

Season Of The Witch sucked :o

[Nivek]

Looking back, it would have been interesting to imagine a yearly Halloween "Concept" that didn't have to rely on the Michael Myers character. Like Trick 'R Treat, 30 years earlier.

[Johnny Drama]

It would have been cool, but they ruined any chance of that working when they included Michael in Halloween 2.

[Nightmare]

Season Of The Witch sucked :o

Blasphemy! Movie was great. Just cause it doesnt have MM in it, fan boys get pissy and it automatically sucks. :whatever:

[Majik1387]

I found Season of the Witch watchable and semi-entertaining, though I hated the ending.

[Johnny Drama]

Blasphemy! Movie was great. Just cause it doesnt have MM in it, fan boys get pissy and it automatically sucks. :whatever:

Read my above post, it has nothing to do with Myers, I actually agree with Nivek that the series would have been very interesting if it was a different, stand alone film released each year around Halloween.

The movie sucked because it was slow and boring :whatever:

[Spider-ManHero12]

Season of the Witch is epic. Indeed. Scary as hell, too.

[Nivek]

I have the Silver Shamrock song as my ringtone last Halloween.

That is simply bad ass.

[The Apatow Crew]

Season of the Witch is epic.Epically bad maybe. They should have just called it Season of the witch and leave Halloween of the title.

Given i've only seen this once and it was on AMC at like 2 in the morning.

[Nivek]

It was a nice Halloween theme, and it was done by Carpenter and Hill, shouldn't it be gold?

[The Apatow Crew]

Once you hear the theme song from Halloween 3 it gets in your head and won't get out.

I know, that's why I just play that synth intro and it get's to people...

Celtic Warlock's, Virgin Sacrifice, an chunk of Stonehenge, and Android killers.

Miles away from your typical slasher flick of the time. I remember how p.o.ed my Aunts were back in the early 80's after they seen it, and realized they really killed off Michael. and it was another 8 years before you seen Michael Myers in another Halloween flick.

[The Apatow Crew]

I just guess sometimes you can't mess with a franchise of a main character and try to add something else in instead. People get mad over this.

I mean I'm not saying ideas like this are bad. Just don't trick people by calling it a Halloween film. when you say a Halloween film people automatically think of Micheal Myers, not the one about masks with Tom Atkins.

But that was exactly what Carpenter had originally planned - a series of films featuring different stories and characters that related to Halloween.

[Nivek]

It wasn't a Halloween Film but a magic robot mass virgin sacrifice for Samhain flick. No stabby stabby. But you got to see little Dick Warlock not sporting his mask.

And the crowds at that time turned on it.

How do you think something like that would go over today?

[The Original Bamfer]

And the crowds at that time turned on it.

I don't deny that, I'm just explaining that that was where the creator of the series wanted to take it. It's not like he 'trick[ed] people by calling it a Halloween film' because that was what he had planned on doing with the Halloween franchise from the beginning.

[Johnny Drama]

Halloween 1-2, 4 and H20. The rest I could care less about.

Hey, I'm agreeing with you, just pointing out that crowds were what sunk the idea of Halloween being an Anthology of holiday horror stories than just another Slasher flick. People keep wondering why Carpenter never returned, and that's pretty much it.

[TwilightPro101]

As a stand alone horror film, I have no issue with SEASON OF THE WITCH. I thought it was fairly well done and an effective horror film dealing with the Halloween season.

Is it a Michael Myers movie? No, but I can't blame John Carpenter for approaching the Halloween franchise with a different approach every year. But alas the franchise has become that of Michael's.

Overall, my favorites are 1,2, 6, and H20.

[Nightmare]

Was their a new trailer out? Looked like a new one attached to A Perfect Getaway, i just caught it as i walked in the theatre. Looked like new scenes to me, but i havent been following every tv spot.

[The Apatow Crew]

Huh, thats interesting. I was thinking of seeing a perfect get away. I'll habve to take notice to it then if i do.

[TwilightPro101]

As much as I like Michael Myers being attached strictly to Halloween, I would have loved to have seen what the individual Halloween films would have been like had Carpenter and co. been allowed to continue as such and I've always had a bit of a soft spot for the idea, that Carpenter's idea of bringing Michael Myers back ala ghost style. Even if Akkard and co. weren't fans of it.

[Nightmare]

Do you know the reason why Carpenter didnt continue what he had planned after halloween 3?

[The Joker]

Do you know the reason why Carpenter didnt continue what he had planned after halloween 3?

Because H3 bombed at the box office. People were not interested in a Halloween movie without Michael Myers. So the studio wanted to bring Michael back.

Carpenter wasn't interested. Carpenter didn't even want to do a HII with Michael in it. He wrote HII with Michael and Loomis being killed at the end in the fire. That was supposed to be the end.

When he heard they were bringing them back for H4, he washed his hands of the series, and sold the rights to the studio.

[Doctor Jones]

Truthfully, I like to think H20 was the end of the Carpenter series. Their thing in Ressurection with the switch was stupid and shoe horned in. The chopping off the head with him holding his hand out to his sister was a nice touch to end it. But noooo they had to continue it. Laurie dying my ass.

[Spider-ManHero12]

No, Halloween 2 was John last word in the Michael Myers series. H20 was Jamie Lee wanting her own personal Swan Song.

John Carpenter has huge respect for H20. In fact it's the ONLY Halloween movie, aside from the original, that he has any respect for.

I love H20. H1, HII, and H20 are the perfect Halloween story. Michael vs Laurie.

[Fanticon]

man the more i see of h2 the less excited i get...i really think rz may be taking his vision a little too far in h2. i loved what he did with the first movie but now i'm not convinced....from the previews alone i mean.

[The Apatow Crew]

What do you mean too far?

[Fanticon]

michael not wearing his mask, the visions of his mom...i realize a remake of the original halloween II would be a little dull to some people...so i understand rz has to make it his own, but right now...teasers alone...i'm not gettin anything out of it.

H20 was a Dawson's Creek episode guest-starring Michael Myers. The only decent thing about that movie was the first 10 minutes, the opening credits, and the last 10 minutes. Everything in between was pretty much bleh. I consider H4 more of a Halloween sequel than H20.

[Nivek]

Is he quoted anywhere saying that, just to verify?

[Sawyer]

Halloween 1-2, 4 and H20. The rest I could care less about.

Agreed. The first two were classics, the third I dont even count as a Halloween movie, the fourth was a great follow up, the fifth was okay but had alot of ****tiness to it, the sixth was weird as hell, H20 was pretty good and Resurrection was garbage. And I liked RZH.

[The Joker]

H20 was a Dawson's Creek episode guest-starring Michael Myers.

Are you actually labelling it that just because Michelle Williams was in it? LOL! I suppose Batman Begins was the same because Katie Holmes was the leading lady :whatever:

I consider H4 more of a Halloween sequel than H20.

I don't. H4 went and created a new Myers relative, and went the cliche route of dressing the child up in Michael's old clown costume which he wore when he killed his sister. And *GASP* they made the little Myers niece do the same thing at the end.

H20 continued the Michael vs Laurie storyline, which is the heart of the Halloween franchise. The only element it was missing was Loomis. And it would have been a crime to recast the late Donald Pleasance.

Pleasance was criminally underused in H4, too. He wasn't even there for the final showdown with Michael.

Is he quoted anywhere saying that, just to verify?

Yep, he and the late Debra Hill are on the special features of the H20 DVD. Both of them discuss it.

It's on YouTube somewhere, no doubt.

[Johnny Drama]

Yeah, I remember that. Carpentars co-sign gave it that much more validity.

[hitmanyr2k]

Not only because it had Michelle Williams in it but because it had Kevin Williamson's "Dawson's Creek" and "Scream" signature all over that movie. Hell, they even used the freakin Scream score in the film. If Kevin Williamson wrote Batman Begins I'm sure it would have had the same teenybopper vibe H20 had.

I don't. H4 went and created a new Myers relative, and went the cliche route of dressing the child up in Michael's old clown costume which he wore when he killed his sister. And *GASP* they made the little Myers niece do the same thing at the end.

And it was all executed a hell of a lot better than H20.

H20 continued the Michael vs Laurie storyline, which is the heart of the Halloween franchise. The only element it was missing was Loomis. And it would have been a crime to recast the late Donald Pleasance.

H20 continued the Michael vs. Laurie storyline and went with the same trendy horror formula that Scream and I Know What You did Last Summer made popular at the time (all of which Kevin Williamson also wrote). Felt nothing like a Halloween movie. They simply cashed in on Jamie Lee Curtis being back.

Pleasance was criminally underused in H4, too. He wasn't even there for the final showdown with Michael.

Pleasance was used just about the same length in H1 and H2. In fact I would say he got more screentime in H4 than he did in H1 or H2.

[The Joker]

Hilarious. That is your reasoning? The star of the movie is a mature woman, Laurie Strode, dealing with her demons. It's her story. She has the bulk of the screen time, and you say it has a teenybopper vibe?

ROFL!

And it was all executed a hell of a lot better than H20.

Disagree. H20 is leaps and bounds ahead of it.

H20 continued the Michael vs. Laurie storyline and went with the same trendy horror formula that Scream and I Know What You did Last Summer made popular at the time (all of which Kevin Williamson also wrote).

In what way? What was done with the Michael vs Laurie story that was taken exclusively from those movies?

I'm dying to hear this.

Pleasance was used just about the same length in H1 and H2. In fact I would say he got more screentime in H4 than he did in H1 or H2.

Actually you're wrong. Pleasance had more screen time in H2, than any of the movies.

But you're measuring it by quantity, not quality. When I say Loomis was underused, I mean the character was like a side element. He goes to Haddonfield, warns them again, then vanishes altogether when Michael does strike, reappears again briefly, and gets tossed thru a window, and then is absent until the very end after Michael is beaten. Crap.

Not to mention the character was written like an idiot. He sees a bunch of teenagers going around town dressed as Michael Myers, and then he tells a bunch of trigger happy rednecks that Michael is loose in their town. Also loved the brilliant plan to lock themselves up in a house in a town with no phone or power, instead of hopping into a car and getting out of town to safety to call help.

LOL!

[Nivek]

I really don't understand the love for H20 some of you have. But I do agree with Hitman in regards to the Scream/ IKWYDLS similarities (of course Kevin Williamson writing it, no kidding). It annoyed me when I first seen it that the tone was closer to those films than a Halloween film.

The tone in H20 was much closure to the tone of a Halloween film than 2007's Halloween was.
The "Scream" similarities do Halloween more justice than "The Devils Rejects" atmosphere set up by Zombie.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I really don't understand the love for H20 some of you have. Well, I mean, it's a really good and faithful sequel, which should have been the last film of the original franchise.

Fourth 'Halloween II' TV Spot Takes a Jab at 'The Final Destination'?

A fourth TV Spot was released today for Rob Zombie's Halloween II (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/film/1612) entitled "Final Destiny", which appears to be a jab at New Line Cinema's The Final Destination. The two films are set to go head-to-head on August 28th, but I think if I were a betting man I'd say Death is going to win. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks? You can check out the new TV Spot from Michael Myers return to Haddonfield beyond the break.
http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/17028

So who's gonna win the box office for that weekend? Death or Micheal Myers?

Don't count out the FD films. They've all mad a pretty good profit. With the last one making 30 million opening weekend. So like I said it'll be close. Prolly with FD making about 25-32 million maybe and RZ H2 about 24-30.

[JustABill]

FD3 lost a ton of money if I recall correctly. It failed to perform better than FD2. The only gimmick this one has is 3-D and how many times can one watch a movie in 3-D before it gets old?

Top that with their literally being nobodiesi n the cast and the deaths looking absolutely over the top stupid this time and I think FD might be in for an upset.

Zombie's Halloween (http://forums.superherohype.com/#) II As Strong As Rejects?

As the song http://kona.kontera.com/javascript/lib/imgs/grey_loader.gif
(http://forums.superherohype.com/#) goes, Rob Zombie is "never gonna stop." Since Comic-Con, the multi-hyphenate has been racing through the final lap of post-production on Halloween II (http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/films.php?id=8895). The sequel to 2007's Halloween (http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/films.php?id=447) has tested both in New York and Los Angeles and is jetting towards its August 28 release.

"It's a reality-based film but there's more trippy stuff at the end," Zombie tells ShockTillYouDrop.com, responding to this writer's comment about the sequel going beyond the usual slasher fare. The writer-director is feeling incredibly positive about his sophomore outing with Michael Myers. "Most of the people that worked on this movie (http://forums.superherohype.com/#) worked on The Devil's Rejects. And I think we all feel this movie is the logical follow. That Halloween itself was a weird left turn that never found its groove. Halloween II is to Halloween as Rejects is to House of 1000 Corpses. We shot the last film on 35mm, it was cleaner. This one, we went back to shoot a dirty, nasty movie on 16mm."

August 28 doesn't mean Zombie takes a hiatus. There's a new album (http://forums.superherohype.com/#) on the way, currently untitled. "I think it's going to come out at the end of October or the beginning of November. We have a tour starting in October. The plan is to go on tour for a while then finally come back and make Tyrannosaurus Rex. Because that got shoved off to the side and that was a film I really wanted to make. It's like Rejects on steroids."

Tyrannosaurus Rex (http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/films.php?id=4678) was in development at Dimension through 2008 and is said to be a mix of Raging Bull and The Road Warrior.

I like the saw movies. I could go for a little less gore and a little more story though.

[The Apatow Crew]

That's true.I think its just great Icons from the 70's and 80's are still around yet 25-30 years later.

And I'm sure more will be remembered then others. Because look at Leatherface he doesn't get mentioned as much as Freddy,Jason or Micheal and yet he was around way longer before any of them.
Yeah, lol, but still. It's considered a Jason film either way, lol. :woot:And yet that films is always referred to as the film thats not Jason. Or the one with the Fake Jason.

[The Apatow Crew]

I like the saw movies. I could go for a little less gore and a little more story though.I think in some of them they have as much equal story as gore.

[Spider-ManHero12]

And yet that films is always referred to as the film thats not Jason. Or the one with the Fake Jason. Yeah, you're right about that.

[The Apatow Crew]

Yeah, you're right about that.Just like how Halloween 3 is referred to as the one without Micheil Myers.

[Spider-ManHero12]

YOu know, I try to avoid some horror films these days. As I've said, I hate Hostel and Saw for many reasons. I mean, I sometimes wonder how people think it can compare to this, but to each his own I, guess.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Just like how Halloween 3 is referred to as the one without Micheil Myers. I agree with you 90 %. The other 10% is disagreement, honestly. Now, it is ture that that is similar in ALOT of ways, but the thing is, in the 80's, I don't think people knew spoilers about endings of films, and such. I mean, I really think people thought that was really Jason in part 5, and not that ambulance driver, you know? While everybody knew Halloween III was not a Michael Myers film.

I remember seeing Saw and Saw II in theaters. (I may have seen Saw III in theaters as well.) I just remember that I felt physically sick at the last one I saw in theaters. Needless to say, my interest feel off afterward.

I think that speaks volumes that they have been able to sustain themselves throughout nearly 30 years.

[The Apatow Crew]

I don't think I've ever gone so far to say I felt physically sick.

But I just guess some people have the stomach for them and others don't.

It's just like some can ride roller coasters and others can't without getting sick. I am not one of people who can ride one really.

[GothamAlleys]

Its obvious now what his real priorities are and that hes as much of a greedy BSer as any Hollywood exec. I was kind of hyped up for the Halloween remake so I was watching all his promo interviews and appearances, and his line throughout was that the remake was done cause the movie had so many sequels and sequels are just unnecessary appendages that add too much mess and stuff to the story. Thats why he came to clean it all up. And thats why you see Mike and the doc dying in his remake. well, the remake made $ and look what Robbie's doin now...

I think that speaks volumes that they have been able to sustain themselves throughout nearly 30 years.Thats [rp;;y cause of all the sequels they had. Cause I don't think they would be still around much if it wasn't for all the sequels, As stupid of a thing as that sounds.

I don't normally mind the blood, guts, and gore...but Saw (whichever one it was) was just too much. I can't even remember what scene it was that made me feel that way...I think i've blocked it out! :funny:

[SsM]

Thats [rp;;y cause of all the sequels they had. Cause I don't think they would be still around much if it wasn't for all the sequels, As stupid of a thing as that sounds.

I know what you mean but cult classics never die man. The originals would still carry through.

[The Apatow Crew]

I'm just tired thats all. almost 1am where i am. I'm just like huh when i read whet i posted.

I'm not even going to lie, I cant do super-gory movies like that in theatre. On DVD, I'm a little bit more okay with it, but in a theatre theres no way of avoiding it. You're just stuck for two hours.

[The Apatow Crew]

I've seen Saw 4 and 5 in theaters. I've also seen the Collector in theaters.

I can understand that. In the theaters, you can't escape from it. At home, there are more distractions.

...and then there's the wonderful Dolby Digital surround sound of crunching bones in some kind of 'gears of doom'. It's like I said earlier, blood, guts, and gore don't normally bother me, but whatever part in Saw that was just didn't sit well.

[Sawyer]

Just place your hands over your eyes.:o

Thats for women. :cmad::oldrazz:

I want to see it... just not on a 30 foot tall screen with surround sound. I'd just prefer to see it at home.

So you feel even more dirty then huh? Like you're watching something you shouldn't on a small screen tv eating baked beans out of a can cold.

Indeed. :up:

[CelticPredator]

Marx, I think you were saw the cinematic abomination known as Saw 3. One of the worst movies ever made in my opinion. I cant remember when I was so mad at everyone in a movie. The entire cast was made up of ****tards. The gore was pointless, and disgusting.

Saw is the worst series of all time. There is no point, there is no fun, it is horrid. Yes, I WILL use the term TORTURE PORN.

But Saw...that is a good flick. It uses gore when it needs to, and is an effective thriller.

[CelticPredator]

...and then there's the wonderful Dolby Digital surround sound of crunching bones in some kind of 'gears of doom'. It's like I said earlier, blood, guts, and gore don't normally bother me, but whatever part in Saw that was just didn't sit well.

And I know what scene you mean too. Its from Saw 3, the Rack Trap...or something. I did feel sick. It wasnt fun to watch at all.....

[Marx]

And I know what scene you mean too. Its from Saw 3, the Rack Trap...or something. I did feel sick. It wasnt fun to watch at all.....

Yeah, I think that might have been it. After thinking about it, I'm pretty sure that Saw III was the last one I've seen in theaters. I haven't seen IV, V, or however many more there are.

[CelticPredator]

I Saw 4 (hehe), and I dug it. But it wasnt that good. It had less gore, and had a better style to it....

[Spider-ManHero12]

I remember seeing Saw and Saw II in theaters. (I may have seen Saw III in theaters as well.) I just remember that I felt physically sick at the last one I saw in theaters. Needless to say, my interest feel off afterward. Really? The gore doesn't bother me, I do think the gore in the Saw films are a bit much, but hey, that's all they are about. No good story at all and not scary.

[Balthus Dire]

Which is a damn shame because the first two had great stories.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Which is a damn shame because the first two had great stories. I have to disagree. Over time, I realised how much I really don't like Saw at all. I guess I'm very picky with what I like with horror. I like Slashers, monsters, zombies, and vampires. I'm not crazy about how hollywood has made vmapire films...seem....sexual. Speaking of vampires, Fright Night still kicks ass.

Vampires have ALWAYS been sexual.

[The Apatow Crew]

Its funny how this thread goes in out and from talking about H2 to always going back to talking about the Saw films.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Vampires have ALWAYS been sexual. Some films push it to a different level though.

That's true.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I have a question, what do you guys think is next for Myers? I mean, I've asked that before, but it's jsut to hard to think.

[Marx]

...a brief hiatus.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ I expect it to be a while, tbh. Let's hope not.

[Balthus Dire]

Its funny how this thread goes in out and from talking about H2 to always going back to talking about the Saw films.

I'd rather talk about the Saw films than argue over which version of Halloween is "better". :o

[The Apatow Crew]

...a brief hiatus.Thats what I was saying.


And I wouldn't be surprised down the line of Platinum Dunes eventually gets the rights.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Thats what I was saying.


And I wouldn't be surprised down the line of Platinum Dunes eventually gets the rights. Yeah, that'd be cool. Still, though, for some reason, I think we're going to get a Season Of The Witch remake before we get another Halloween. I'm realy curious how that film would work in present day.

[The Apatow Crew]

Yeah, that'd be cool. Still, though, for some reason, I think we're going to get a Season Of The Witch remake before we get another Halloween. I'm realy curious how that film would work in present day.Thats if that rumor was true or not.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Thats if that rumor was true or not. Yeah, true, but still, I think it'll happen.

[The Apatow Crew]

Yeah, true, but still, I think it'll happen.There is actually a movie coming out called Season of the witch. But its not a Halloween film. Nic Cage is in it.

[BLACK-SPIDEY]

I'd rather talk about the Saw films than argue over which version of Halloween is "better". :o

yeah and tbh i only liked the first film it was just great, i also liked the next 2 sequels but after the 4th one i lost all the interest on the franchise.

[Spider-ManHero12]

There is actually a movie coming out called Season of the witch. But its not a Halloween film. Nic Cage is in it. Yeah, I heard about. Obviously, though, if we get a ream of Halloween III, it won't be called Halloween III. I guess it'll just be called Season Of The Witch.

[SsM]

Yeah, I heard about. Obviously, though, if we get a ream of Halloween III, it won't be called Halloween III. I guess it'll just be called Season Of The Witch.


It can't be called season of the witch.

[Spider-ManHero12]

It can't be called season of the witch. Well, it has to be called something that is similar to the originals' name.

[SsM]

Well, it has to be called something that is similar to the originals' name.


Not really, there are quite a few remakes that change the name.

[The Apatow Crew]

Yeah, I heard about. Obviously, though, if we get a ream of Halloween III, it won't be called Halloween III. I guess it'll just be called Season Of The Witch.If they do something like that, they should just come up with a new name or just continue with MM. And then just call it Halloween and then a sub-title after it. Like they did with Halloween: Resurrection.

That way you don't have to call it halloween 3.

[The Apatow Crew]

Not really, there are quite a few remakes that change the name.
Yeah, like how Sorority Row shorten its name. The full title of the original was The House on Sorority Row.

[Spider-ManHero12]

If they do something like that, they should just come up with a new name or just continue with MM. And then just call it Halloween and then a sub-title after it. Like they did with Halloween: Resurrection.

That way you don't have to call it halloween 3. Yeah, that could work.

[Fresh Prince]

Season of the Witch sucked. And are they just gonna reboot the franchise over in the future or just continue to make sequels like before?

Stop the name calling.

If you knew me, you would know I'm probably the easiest person on this website to get along with. I really don't appreciate being called a jerk. I was only pointing out that none of us have ANY inside knowledge about what is going on in the franchise.

I wasn't being a jerk at all, I even initially said it was a silly question instead of a stupid question to spare you getting your feelings hurt.

[Fresh Prince]

Dude how you responded in that message you was acting like a jerk.

[SsM]

No, I wasn't. ._.

You do not have to use only curse words to flame someone or to get a warning or an infraction.
And you deleted the page so you did not see him post like a mean person.

When we the mods DELETE a post....WE can still see them, it's the regular posters who can't.

[SsM]

No you change up what you say.

No, I won't :


"That's a silly question"


"Why the **** would we know what is going to happen with a franchise?"

"Well when they asked people on an internet forum if they were making a third batman it was a stupid question then and asking if there is going to be another Halloween is also a stupid questions"

I may have missed a few words here and there.. but I think that sums it up.


"How old are you kid? Good God"


"Damn! Where are C. Lee and Marx when you need em?!"

Well did you read it.

He's not going to get it SsM....just ignore him.

Fresh Prince, your infraction was not about the conversation before....it was about the fact that C.Lee asked you to stop the namecalling, and you continued. The only difference I would have made in the call would be to infract you for insubordination....C. Lee simply chose a different infraction.

Its an "infraction" a chance for you to live and learn....so learn, and you can continue to live here on the hype with us....:yay:

Family Ties: Brad Dourif on HALLOWEEN II (http://www.fangoria.com/features/halloween/3559-family-ties-brad-dourif-on-halloween-ii-.html)



]In case you missed it, FANGORIA RADIO (http://www.fangoria.com/radio) (heard live every Friday on Sirius XM Stars satellite radio, Sirius channel 108/XM channel 139, from 10 p.m.-1 a.m. EST) featured some cool HALLOWEEN II chat with returning actor Brad Dourif (“Sheriff Lee Brackett”). Besides talking up Michael’s latest (due August 28 from Dimension) with hosts Debbie Rochon and Tony Timpone, the actor best known as the voice of Chucky discussed his long career in fear.

DEBBIE ROCHON: We finally have Brad Dourif, which is exciting for us because we’ve never had a chance to speak to you yet. Your sheriff character plays a big central piece in the new movie.
BRAD DOURIF: Well, I haven’t seen it yet. He is far more central than he was in the one before. It’s a bit more, the idea here is it’s a couple of years later and everybody is pretty still much in shellshock and things have disintegrated by quite a bit. And it focuses a bit on my household.

ROCHON: Obviously there’s a lot of secrecy around the storyline, as it should be because we all want to be surprised…
DOURIF: As much as you can, I mean, this is a remake, so we have to work pretty hard.

ROCHON: Yeah, exactly, but what’s funny is it’s a sequel to his original; it’s not a sequel paralleling the other sequel. It’s interesting because you’ve said that your character, the sheriff, is sort of the opposite of the Loomis character in a lot of ways.
DOURIF: Yeah, he’s much more, he’s not arrogant, and he’s pretty much of a stable person who’s much more about victims. It’s his town and he knows everybody and he wants to protect everybody.

ROCHON: He’s not exploiting the situation.
DOURIF: And he feels Loomis is. I think Loomis actually is.

TONY TIMPONE: When we had Danielle Harris on, she said that you and her really bonded since you played father and child.
DOURIF: I feel like she’s my daughter! I miss her.

TIMPONE: Do you have some good scenes together in HII?
DOURIF: We have; there’s some family scenes of Scout’s character, of course, who sort of becomes a part of the family, and Danielle’s character is pretty damaged, physically damaged. It really is, much more a character driven piece than a lot of horror films. A lot of horror films might, if they’re going to develop a character, it really is the villain. Sheriffs are usually pretty one dimensional. This guy’s a little bit more filled out.

ROCHON: I know you’ve played all kinds of characters throughout your career. Is it fun to sort of play the good guy?
DOURIF: Well, you know, I’m a human being, I’ve raised a family. I have grandchildren, and I’ve fallen in love. I’m a hermit, I’m not even that wild, so it’s nice to play people who are really people, who live the same kinds of uneventful life. My life hasn’t been completely uneventful, I’ve made some really stupid mistakes, but beyond that, I see myself as a pretty relatively level headed character, and it’s nice to play one.

ROCHON: Is it harder to play a good guy as opposed to a bad guy, who have more of a hook that’s easier to connect to as an actor?
DOURIF: Well, you’re right, it depends on the character and how subtle the character is. I always look for something to hang on to. I’m a chicken. Give me an accent; give me something so I feel like I’m acting. Now, at my age, I have to really go ahead and be exposed and be more of who I am and it’s kind of scary, but it’s rewarding in a way.

TIMPONE: Did you see any change in Rob Zombie as a director between HALLOWEEN and HALLOWEEN II?
DOURIF: Yes, not as a human being at all, but in terms of really what he was after. Rob has been very much of a lover of horror films; he’s a fan of horror films. In this he wanted to do something different. That was my take on it. And I thought he really got more into the people than he did on the other one. He was innovative on that, but I think he really took a lot of risks on this film. On the first one he was very innovative. I love the first one actually.

ROCHON: Oh, so it’s not true, the rumor that you’ve never seen it?
DOURIF: No, it wasn’t. I have children and there’s no way if they’re in town, they’ll not go. I can’t get out of it, forget it. So they were in town, and I went and I did see it. It didn’t scare me as bad as I thought it would. It was much more mythical almost; it was much more of the myth of a serial killer, much more exposed. Really going back into what’s it like to be a child right at the dawn of becoming a pretty horrendous and horrible killer. The kid was kind of human, you went with him, which is what I would expect a real serial killer to be like, somebody who’s really crazy and yet remarkably human at the same time.

TIMPONE: What are some of the themes that the new film picks up on?
DOURIF: I think it’s family. I’ve always felt in an odd way, these things are about family. But I think this one’s very much about the power and need of family.

Lunatic Fringe: Scout Taylor-Compton on HALLOWEEN II (http://www.fangoria.com/features/halloween/3563-lunatic-fringe-scout-taylor-compton-on-halloween-ii-.html)

In case you missed it, FANGORIA RADIO (http://www.fangoria.com/radio) (heard live every Friday on Sirius XM Stars satellite radio, Sirius channel 108/XM channel 139, from 10 p.m.-1 a.m. EST) featured some cool HALLOWEEN II chat from returning actress Scout Taylor-Compton. Besides talking up Michael’s latest (due August 28 from Dimension) with hosts Dee Snider, Debbie Rochon and Tony Timpone, the actress discussed some of the rumors surrounding writer/director Rob Zombie’s new interpretation of the venerable slasher.

DEBBIE ROCHON: How exciting is it being one of the lead stars in Rob Zombie’s HII?
SCOUT TAYLOR-COMPTON: Very, very exciting indeed.

ROCHON: Stepping once again into the Jamie Lee Curtis role. What can you tell us about your character, sort of what you go through? Tony was telling us there’s a little bit of mental illness going on.
TAYLOR-COMPTON: We’re trying to keep it on the down low, especially since it comes out in a month. I think people can wait a month to check it out. The film picks up right after the last one ended, and it kind of just shows what she goes through, that shock that she goes through right after she just shot Michael and then it kicks forward to two years later and it kind of just shows what Laurie Strode has become through the tragic events that she’s gone through. She wakes up and realizes everything in her life has changed and her parents are dead and her friends are dead and it shows how she dealt with it. People deal with things differently, and I know a lot of people are upset with Laurie Strode turning not necessarily bad, but she’s not necessarily the goody-two-shoes Laurie Strode. Going through that traumatic event, it’s perfect the way that Rob Zombie wrote it.

ROCHON: I love the fact that they touch on mental instability because, number one, what she goes through and number two, look at the family genes. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and you’ve got a pretty rotten apple falling near you.

DEE SNIDER: To continue on your version of Laurie Strode, it’s a lot more white trash. Laurie was a real preppie; you’re a pretty trashy Laurie. That’s not a criticism, just an observation.
TAYLOR-COMPTON: I don’t necessarily take it as that, just imagine putting yourself in that situation. This guy just chased you and killed everything that you know and you have to change your life. Personally, if I was to go through something like that, I would probably close and rebel and not want to talk to anybody and be mentally bothered. And I think that’s what she is. It doesn’t mean white trash.

ROCHON: That’s a compliment from Dee because to him white trash equals sexy.
SNIDER: The household in the original HALLOWEEN was very pristine and now Michael, he’s a trailer park dude pretty much, except, oddly, with a built-in pool in the backyard.

TONY TIMPONE: Scout, tell us the differences between HALLOWEEN I and HALLOWEEN II. Rob has said in interviews that the remake, the first film he did in the series, he felt compromised and it wasn’t the film he really wanted to make and on this one, he had a lot more freedom to do it his way. Do you agree with that?
TAYLOR-COMPTON: I definitely agree with that. The first one was right on tee with the first HALLOWEEN as a remake and this one is actually a Rob Zombie film. It’s definitely his movie, and all the characters are his own. And it’s definitely different that way, the first one was a Dimension film, this is a Rob Zombie film.

TIMPONE: Is it true there was some tension on the set when the shooting schedule was cut by 10 days. Plus there was a lot of bad weather in Atlanta while shooting.
TAYLOR-COMPTON: Gosh, that’s every shoot, dropping days and something going wrong. It wasn’t a stressful shoot at all, the weather was very cold but that’s about it. And studios drop days; that’s just something you have to get used to and just work harder.

SNIDER: How many days was the shoot in total, Scout?
TAYLOR-COMPTON: To be honest, I don’t exactly remember. I think it was a month and a half. It seemed like a longer shoot than it actually was; we were having a great time and working with everybody from the first one.

SNIDER: And you were covered in dirt and blood. That’s what makes it seem longer.
TAYLOR-COMPTON: And there was just a lot more for me to do. I was working every day, which I love.

TIMPONE: What’s the story behind the new look for Michael?
TAYLOR-COMPTON: The new look for Michael, I probably shouldn’t give you too much information on that.

ROCHON: Does he have a blue steel look, like in ZOOLANDER?
SNIDER: I did read he’s got a beard. I saw a picture of the dude with a big beard on.
TAYLOR-COMPTON: How do you think you’d look in two years?
SNIDER: The minute I saw that, I thought, “Well that’s kind of realistic, it’s not like he’s shaving every day, well groomed and well kept, you look like a crazy man.”
TAYLOR-COMPTON: I like the new look.
ROCHON: I like the new look, Dee was just saying the other day why is it that the bad guys who end up in prison or mental institutions come out in better shape than they go in?
TAYLOR-COMPTON: Well that’s the thing. Tyler in this one is a lot scarier than in the first one.
ROCHON: I thought he was very scary in the first one.

TIMPONE: Do you have some more scenes with Malcolm McDowell this time?
TAYLOR-COMPTON: To be honest, I didn’t work with Malcolm very much. We were both in our own little worlds in the movie. We worked together a little bit, but not very much, so it was sad because I didn’t see him as much. When you see Malcolm, it’s fun; it’s always a blast working with him.

ROCHON: It seems as though Rob Zombie is taking the characters very seriously. I mean, gone are the days of Donald Pleasence standing in the middle of the street where he’s brandishing a gun and nobody’s arresting him and he’s saying things like, “I’m not gonna stop until my patient is dead.” He had such funny, wonderful lines, but Rob seems to be taking a far more serious approach to this, which I love.
TAYLOR-COMPTON: Yeah, and it’s much more realistic to be honest than this big speech that doesn’t make any sense to anybody.

ROCHON: Like the ones Tony makes in the office. They’re always really long!
SNIDER: I love those monologues. Donald Pleasence, c’mon!

TIMPONE: Who are some of the other horror veterans that have cameos in this one? Rob loves sneaking his pals in.
TAYLOR-COMPTON: The one who I worked with and is completely amazing is Margot Kidder. That was just amazing. Weird Al is in it.
TIMPONE: As himself right?
TAYLOR-COMPTON: It’ll make sense when you see it.

SNIDER: Going for realism, happen to see Weird Al, it happens!
TAYLOR-COMPTON: Rob will just call anybody and they’ll be there.

ROCHON: And Bill Moseley’s in it?
TAYLOR-COMPTON: Bill’s actually not in it, he was. It didn’t work out.

ROCHON: We should probably let you go. I’m sure you’re busy here on your promotional tour. Thank you so much for joining us on FANGORIA RADIO tonight. And we’re gonna be with you in spirit, and we’re all gonna watch Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN II, which opens theatrically August 28. Good luck with it.
TAYLOR-COMPTON: OK, thanks so much you guys.

They would be on even ground during their first three seasons, prior to the cancellation, but now FG is 100x worse than South Park.

hey...whats all this talk about Halloween 6 producer's cut?

[Nightmare]

Halloween 666: The Origin of Michael Myers

[san15]

I don't what there is to be confused about. Seeing as RZ's starts from the start of the Halloween series and the last one in th old series Resurrection has a full grown Micheal.
Plus different people in the roles should tell people.

New audiences will be generally confused with the long running franchise. For example, a kid named Kevin goes to the local video store with his dad and wants to watch a scary movie. Kevin goes to the horror section and sees NINE Halloween movies. Not sure which one to rent first he picks up each and every movie cover and reads the premise. Looking very confused, his dad tells him they’re pretty much the same story retold numerous times and that there’s another Halloween movie coming out. Kevin scratches his head and asks his dad why do they keep making the same movies over and over. Dad says it’s all about making money. So finally Kevin randomly rented whichever Halloween movie that has the best dvd cover.
