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

[Marx]

Let's keep it civil guys. There's no need for the personal attacks.

[Johnny Drama]

But back to my post about Laurie. Weither or not 4 and 5 happened (and you're being nitpickey), Laurie, or Kari Tate was still a messed up wreack in H20. That was my real point here and that I don't see a difference between RZH2's Laurie and the Laurie who became completely parinode, alcoholic pill popping, control freak. Do we at all know what Jamie Lee's Laurie was like AFTER the events of Halloween 2? Thats where we have to look at things here because Laurie in H2 is two years after those events in Halloween (including the same night of stuff that opens H2). She's going to be a total WREACK!!!

And just for the sake of saying it, I enjoyed Halloween: Sam comic.

I am not being nitpicky, thats just how it is in cannon. I didn't make the movies, lol.

[ABleedingCorpse]

I will not say I'm a fan of where they went with it (especially in part 6 theatrical cut, Directors cut is a bit better, a bit), but I respected how they tried to explain Micheal's obvious supernatural powers at that point in the series. Better than the post H20 reboot clustertruck where Michael is weakened in the presence of R&B/Hip-hop / Rap artists for no reason.

Ah...July 12, 2002. Me and my racist g/f sitting in a packed theater of...what looked like night (it was packed with black people...there I said it). Halloween Resurrection starring Busta Rhymes and Tyra Banks. During that EPIC climax when you think Busta is dead and Michael is about to kill the white b***h, all of a sudden Busta burst through a burning door and I say as loud as I can....

"YEAH MICHAEL, YOU CAN'T KILL HIP HOP..FOOL"

Enormous laugher soon followed along with my g/f at the time being scared to death we were about to be killed.

Ah...social culture...sometimes things that are retarded are well welcomed by others.

[Johnny Drama]

There really isn't, except RZ Laurie probably won't ditch her kids. :cwink:

No, she'll just teach them how to **** a bagel and take LSD...


And again, Laurie strode never ditched her kids, because there are 3 alternate cannons.

Halloween 1, 2, h20 and Ressurection - (Laurie never had a daughter)

Halloween 4-6 - Laurie had a daughter, Laurie is actually DEAD, not in hideing.

Halloween and H2 - Reboot of the entire series.

[ABleedingCorpse]

There really isn't, except RZ Laurie probably won't ditch her kids. :cwink:

No, she'd end up on Cnn's Headline News as the main attraction for her kid disappearing a month before she ever reported it.

[Nivek]

She must be related to the Casey Anthony clan.

[ABleedingCorpse]

I thought it was a funny video. It was posted right before filming started on H2

[Johnny Drama]

Oh I thought you were refering to Jamie Lee Curtis being a man now...

[The Joker]

But back to my post about Laurie. Weither or not 4 and 5 happened (and you're being nitpickey)

They definitely did not happen in H20's timeline. And it's hardly nit picky when you accuse Laurie of abandoning her own child when she did no such thing.

Laurie, or Kari Tate was still a messed up wreack in H20. That was my real point here and that I don't see a difference between RZH2's Laurie and the Laurie who became completely parinode, alcoholic pill popping, control freak.

True.

Were people actually criticizing the fact that Laurie is a mess in Zombie's H2? What do people expect? Her parents were killed, some of her friends were killed, she was nearly killed, and she finds out she was adopted and it was her brother who did it all. I can't wait to see how she copes with all this.

That's one of my favourite things about H20. Seeing Laurie trying to deal with her demons after all those years. You even hear her telling her boyfriend, Will, all that she's done to cope with it.

Laurie: "I've tried everything, I really have. I've tried everything. Twelve steps, self help, group therapy, shrinks, meditation.....everything"

People are far from "calm and Relaxed" down here when it comes to that mess of a family. I was waiting for her to be drug out in the streets and Lynched before they finally charged her. Nancy Grace had people fuming to the point they were standing outside her house screaming "murderer, baby killer, wh0re, ect" . As bad it is for the rest of you, that story dominated all Florida media last summer. So Blah, they subjected us to worse.

Besides, I'm a New York boy, I moved here (after western PA & Ohio). No matter where you go, B.S. follows.

Cool, I guess that is the more "Traditional" Michael. I'm curious to see if what I heard was true and he get's a Clown mask again.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I wonder where he is in that picture? I'm thinking the hospital. I love the image so much, I can't stop staring. :up:

Given the beard peaking out from the dry rot cracks, I think that takes place later. True, but doesn't he lose his mask early on?

[Nivek]

True, but doesn't he lose his mask early on?


I heard he has at least two masks. Supposedly Loomis has one he takes on his book tours as well, I think it might be that one, and Michael reclaims it.

I think people havn't caught on that Wayne and other guys in the production like teasing fans, and f'ing with haters. The 70% "maskless" thing is funny to me.

[Lunar_Wolf]

True, but doesn't he lose his mask early on?

That's what I also thought. He looses the mask and wonders around maskless for 70% of the film and then gets a different look to the current mask near the end.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I heard he has at least two masks. Supposedly Loomis has one he takes on his book tours as well, I think it might be that one, and Michael reclaims it. Oh, I think I remember hearing about that. I also heard Michael gets a clean one towards the end of the film.

[Johnny Drama]

I hope thats the case...

[xwolverine2]

the pic looks pretty gorgeous

[Darkness Falls]

i agree.... the pic is badass

I guess gorgeous and bad ass are one in the same now?

WTF WTF WTF WFT??? I'm gone for 8 hours and an offical pic of Michael arrives?? WTF??

By the way.....FREAKING BAD ASS AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!

Need I say more?

[SsM]

It looks stupid.

[gwynplaine]

Nice. Kind of like Two-Face meets Michael.

Also I miss Donald Pleasence:csad:.

[LastSunrise1981]

I actually like the picture of the torn mask. If anything he should keep that on as it adds to the creepiness of the character. Imagine seeing someone of Michael's size walking towards you with a mask like that?

[Red Mask]

I concur, old boy. I concur.

[The Dark Defender]

Yup, I like the look.

Just too bad we'll barely see it because we have bearded mask-less Michael 70% of the time.

[Caped Crusader]

Cool.. :up:

[MaxG]

Pic looks Great, shame we wont see him with the mask for most of the film.

[Doctor Jones]

Hmm, I like it actually. Interesting. That actually looks scary. Hell, I think I prefer it to the first mask.

I'm glad Zombie is doing his own thing and not keeping tradition. What the hell is the point now? I mean, the only guy who can replicate the original is Carpentor and Carpentor only. And after that that's where the failed, they tried to be like Carpentor and it was just awful. Only he can accomplish that.

But I like this direction. It's refreshing.

[theShape]

My guess is that Michael goes into some sort of coma after being shot and wake up a year later and gets all of his stuff back when he busts out of the hospital. How else can the beard be explained through the old mask?

Love the new beat up mask though. Id love a figure or an official mask based on that.

That sounds very possible if you ask me.

[Matt Mortem]

Oh wow, this looks fantastic. I like that Zombie isn't trying to replicate John Carpenter anymore and he's going his own way now, I like that. The Devils Rejects was a FANTASTIC film, I'm hoping H2 will be that good as well

[Nightmare]

Whats the tagline for H2? I have forgotten.

Love the new look.

It could also be Wayne messing with people...

[Caped Crusader]

I heard 25%

[theShape]

It could also be Wayne messing with people...

As much as you want to believe that, I doubt it. I think Malek Akkad said the same thing, and both Malek and Wayne have said fans will be thrown for a loop, especially with the last mask Michael wears. Wayne said, " If you just saw it in its own context at first, you wouldn't know it was Michael Myers, really."

[Superark]

I'm a little lukewarm on new mask.

I definitely don't like the rumor of Michael being maskless 70% of the time.

[SsM]

It's not a rumor. It has been confirmed by the Director and the Producers.

[Nightmare]

I hope his face has a huge scar in it from the gunshot if thats indeed where he was shot. Bloody beard also. ehh I'd still much rather him have the mask. I like the idea of Loomis having a mask with him to promote his book and Michael Somehow finding that mask brand new and wearing it by the end of the film.

Teaser Trailer NOT with Crank 2???

Okay, here's what I've recently learned. YES, H2 teaser trailer will be released April 17th, however, it willy only be attached to NY and LA prints of Crank 2. Though, it should be availible online on or before April 17th. Just to clarify thing.

[Nivek]

New photo from H2, supposedly from the Hospital scene at the beginning...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v192/Nivekian/h2.jpg

The article from where I found the pic, a bunch of stuff we already knew about... Courtesy of Blabbermouth.net

Rob Zombie recently invited fans to submit questions about "H2", the sequel to his hit 2007 remake of "Halloween". He promised to pick the best ten questions and answer them on his MySpace blog.

He writes: "Although you've asked over 500 questions, many of them are the same questions over and over. So here's the answer to the first question that keeps getting asked.

"Is this movie a remake of 'Halloween 2'?

"The answer is no. This movie has nothing to do with the movie that came out back in 1981. The only thing slightly the same is my film has a brief hospital scene at the top of the film and even that is 100% different. These are all new characters and all new situations. This is not a remake of a sequel, this is the continuing story of the 'Halloween' I started. So hopefully that clears up that confusion.

"Now I present a killer moment from the above-mentioned hospital scene (see photo below)."

Rob Zombie spoke with FangoriaOnline.com on April 8 about writing and directing "H2", which was shot near Atlanta, Georgia. Already controversial to fans is the revelation that serial killer Michael Myers spends nearly 75 percent of the movie not wearing his iconic mask. Zombie acknowledged that he's taking more creative liberties this time, saying, "This is not a remake of (1981's) 'Halloween II'; this is totally my thing, my story. After I made'Halloween', I was totally burned out. I said I'd never make a sequel. But after every record, every tour, I say the same thing."

Also returning for the sequel are actors Malcolm McDowell as Dr. Loomis, Scout Taylor-Compton as Laurie Strode, and Tyler Mane as Myers.

Zombie's wife, Sheri Moon Zombie, is also returning as Myers' mother, although the character died in the first film. Zombie hints that this has to do with the state of mind of main character Laurie Strode, explaining, "As Laurie is Michael's sister, I'm playing like he's clearly insane and so is she, but her insanity doesn't manifest itself in the same way ... She's slipping into insanity throughout the whole movie."

"H2" is due out on August 28, 2009.

Zombie's manager and producer, Andy Gould, told ShockTillYouDrop.com that the rocker-turned-director's next feature film will definitely be his boxer epic "Tyrannosaurus Rex". Although it was originally announced last year, Zombie put it aside to direct "H2".

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ OMG! That looks fantastic! Great image.:wow:

[Nivek]

At least Mane doesn't look too bulky, like George Wilbur in Halloween 6, or too "average" like the guys in the last two Pre- Zombie Halloween films.

[The Joker]

Cool pic. A bit of murder in the Haddonfield Hospital. Nice to know there's some little homage to the original Halloween 2.

[Spider-ManHero12]

"average" like the guys in the last two Pre- Zombie Halloween films. Agreed, though, I thought Michael in H20 rocked.

[Nivek]

though, I thought Michael in H20 rocked.

Different strokes, different folks...

[Spider-ManHero12]

I have to say, this films' outside atmosphere doesn't look like it's been decorated to look like fall. It actually looks like fall/Halloween. I just love how much of that we have seen so far.

[Nivek]

Better than the green trees we have seen in the other films. I think Halloween 4 was shot at a similar time of year, I remember seeing barren trees.

[The Apatow Crew]

Wonder if Zombie is going to keep the same 'hand held' camera style in this film? I rewatched RZ's Halloween on Easter and just felt that type of style was overused a bit during the adult Michael attack scenes. It wasn't bad, but after a while that shacking gettings annoying. It was done very well in Devils Rejects, but he seemed to just shake the hell out of that style too much in Halloween.

I'd like to see a little more traditional camera operation used during Michael's attacks, just so you see what's going on better. I don't want that feeling of they're filming during an earthquack again. haha

I know this has been brought up, but Laurie is wearing a different shirt in the begining of this film than she was at the end of the last one. haha. No big deal. Wonder if Zombie has recapped the ending of the remake a little like in the original Halloween 2. They redid that whole Michael falling out the window thing. It was funny in Halloween 2 because you could see the ramp the stunt man walked up to fall off the balcony. It was so weird.

I'm so curious to know exactly what happens at the end of the Hospital scene that causes Michael and Laurie to end up in the parking lot and how Michael gets away or what goes on there. Wonder if it's like the old Halloween 2 where Michael just gets up and walks to the Hospital, or if they find him on the ground and transport him there.

Just hope in the coming weeks we get more photos and can't wait for the teaser!!!

After a point blank gunshot to the head, I have a hard time believing he would be going anywhere! He was probably transported to the hospital.

On the special features of the last one, Zombie said their original intention was to shoot almost the entire film handheld, not just the action, but he abandoned the idea halfway through filming. If you go back and watch the film, the young Michael portion is shot mostly with handhelds, while the later portion of the film has more camera placement and traditional shots.

But I agree with you. I want to see what is happening. Shaking the camera does not make something scary. I really hope Zombie tries to build a little suspense this time around instead of just relying on loud noises that tell you when to be scared and the shaky camera work.

[Bond]

I hope and don't think that they will do H2 exactly like Halloween 2, but one thing I loved from that movie was how they started out with that First-Person POV. It'd be kinda cool to see Zombie do that at the beginning of this one, but I really doubt it.

[steintym]

Love the new picture (and the previous one). Looks pretty brutal.

Anyone hear any news about a teaser? Is the 17th (I think that's what someone previously heard) still the day?

[mclay18]

The pic seems like a homage to the original Halloween 2 -- similar hospital style and layout. Only this time, it's fully lit and Michael's already killing people.

[mclay18]

I do like the two pictures that have been released so far.

There's been more than those two Michael pics -- the pic of a bloody Laurie Strode was the first official pic from H2 that Zombie released, like three days into filming.

He looks exactly like Rob Zombie ten years ago. With a hood on. If that doesn't help, he also looks like a homeless caveman that hasn't showered in a very long time. http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/icon13.gif

IMO, he looks great. the beard makes him look very creepy as well, if you ask me. Though, that's pretty obvious.

Mane made me laugh though.

"I don't know, man. I killed alot of people."

[Marx]

But that is not Michael Myers...that's a Rob Zombie clone that kills people. I would have had no problem with this version of a 'horror villain' if it weren't being passed off as Halloween.

[Johnny Drama]

I second that. I loved his first two films. The guy knows what he is doing behind the camera but he is so up his own ass that now all the characters in his movies look like him.

[LastSunrise1981]

I find it kind of amusing that so many people knock Rob Zombie's version of Halloween. To be quite honest, I find it very interesting that he's trying something different with the character. As for the whole appearance aspect of Michael?

When I heard about the whole "maskless for 70% of the film" and then saw the picture of the torn mask, my opinion still didn't change as I appreciate that he made Michael more vicious, quick, and just downright in your face much like Jason was made to be in the recent remake. You mean to tell me if you saw someone of Tyler Mane's size with an unclean appearance, along with a beard, you wouldn't be scared if he came walking towards you?

I love the visceral aspect of Zombie's Halloween and I look forward to seeing what he did with the sequel. People just need to stop being so analytical and just watch it before judging it. Since when are we expecting Halloween to be a Citizen Kane, LOTR, TDK, or Godfather? It's ****ing Halloween for goodness sake.

I love the visceral aspect of Zombie's Halloween and I look forward to seeing what he did with the sequel. People just need to stop being so analytical and just watch it before judging it. Since when are we expecting Halloween to be a Citizen Kane, LOTR, TDK, or Godfather? It's ****ing Halloween for goodness sake.

For the umpteenth time MICHAEL MYERS IS NOT JASON VORHEES.
It pains me that so many people don't get that, because that proves that people don't get the character at all.

[ABleedingCorpse]

-sigh- I don't get this thread at all, anymore.

[Nivek]

Well, he looks like a homeless guy. I guess they are not going with some sillyness where he would still be wearing the mask a year later.

Sheesh, people are so touchy about Zombies story because Michael was conscious for a year and !!! even grew facial hair, and isn't some stylized caricature. It's like the beginning of part 5 never happened.

[Nivek]

And he doesn't look like Zombie. If anything, he looks like Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society, and Ozzys Guitarist.

But dude...it's not MICHAEL MYERS....it's a clone of Zombie on steriods! Michael is a very slow walking, clean cut, ...um..6'2 max...mmm, pure evil stabbing S.O.B....um....he's a clone of Zombie, only taller and more built....I don't really have an arguement here. And Sheri Moon sucks as an actress....YOU JUST DON'T GET IT!

I get the character just fine thank you. I've watched every single horror film that I can remember since I was eight years old. Michael Myers, from my perspective, is the personification of pure evil and one that is an unstoppable force of nature. The perfect depiction of that said evil is the first two Halloween films that managed to capture that essence.

When I found out that Rob Zombie gave Michael a backstory I was very, very disappointed because you sympathized with him rather than being afraid of the beast. It was more scary to think that a 6 year old child kills his sister for no reason and continues killing.

I am so glad I was able to prove you wrong by the way. You think you're better than someone by saying "You don't get the character at all."?

My disappointment came from the depiction of Dr. Loomis. I always felt he should've remained the fearful, strong, determined, and realistic doctor who hated Michael's "rage" or evil essence if you will. Michael's concept will always be the essence of true evil who is an unstoppable force of nature. But I also appreciate Rob Zombie as a storyteller and he's grown as a director. I didn't care for House of A 1000 Corpses, I LOVED Devil's Rejects, I loved Halloween, and I'm very excited to see his sequel for Halloween. Mainly for the development of Michael, Laurie, and even Dr. Loomis.

While giving Michael a backstory takes away the fear aspect, he still is an unstoppable force that destroys anything in his path. Seems like the sequel will actually explore that concept more judging from the pictures we've seen.

[Nivek]

After Kevin Williamson dumbing down the series and Busta Ryhmes kicking Mikes @$$, makes me think some people still don't appreciate that someone like Eli Roth could have done this. At least Zombie is doing his thing, which is HIS thing. I enjoy Zombies films and music. You don't agree, fine. It's not your thing. Don't be a dick about it though. Not everyone here grew up in suburbia or the inner city.

Well, I like Eli Roth too. I enjoyed the Hostel films for the over the top gore that they were.

But I agree with your statement on Zombie. Give him credit for actually trying something new and adding his stamp on it. Least he's not trying to remake a particular film frame by frame.

Posters voicing their opinions on the picture of Michael without a mask should be expected. Not everyone will like it. Not all will hate it. This is a discussion thread. I would suggest that everyone remember that.

[ABleedingCorpse]

I like it. I'm more of a 'story plot' person, so if the plot and story of H2 works with why Michael has no mask for 70% of the time, or I should say, only has a mask for 30% of the time, then it's all gravey to me. It's different direction to take, and it's not the same old thing over again.

It all depends, Zombie's remake wasn't well developed in certian areas, but I got the drift of what it was suppose to be like. But knowing how conflicts of interest messed up the remake, and seeing that Zombie has full control over this film should ease my mind that the film should play out much better than the remake and should be a good film.

I sincerely hope that this movie is good. I see one picture and think, Zombie hasn't entirely lost it...than I hear about the lack of time in the mask and see a glimpse of maskless Michael and think...this could be the second movie that I have ever walked out of.

For me, Michael walking around looking like hobo joe or Zombie's twin brother...isn't a good thing.

[Nivek]

It can't be worse than what we already got. I sat through Halloween 6. In a crappy ghetto theater in Spring Valley, NY. With possibly the worst audience, watching IMO the worst film of the series.

I doubt anything that Zombie can come up with can't match that Paul Rudd/ Giant Fat Michael flick. The bearded maskless Michael at least makes F'ing sense to me. Having sex with your niece with the mask and coveralls because your a cult puppet, over crappy low class family you slaughtered because they all sucked, and being an enormous psychotic who tried to finish the job. i bet Tyler Manes Michael will talk before he cries.

I didn't care for 6 either, but I do see your point. I just see some things and it feels like Halloween, then I see or hear other things and it's like 'Season of the Witch' or something.

'It's a good movie, but not a Halloween movie.'

[Nivek]

Which is exactly how Zombie respected Carpenter himself. At least John and Zombie talked, he just asked Rob one thing. "Make it your own", and Rob made his own kind of film, not some bland soulless reinvention with no brutality and menace to it.

Besides, I can imagine John empathizes due to the criticism he got remaking The Thing.

[ABleedingCorpse]

So Michael Myers is a KISS fan, right? What if one of the new mask is a Gene Simmons mask?

[Spider-ManHero12]

But that is not Michael Myers...that's a Rob Zombie clone that kills people. I would have had no problem with this version of a 'horror villain' if it weren't being passed off as Halloween. It's Rob's Michael Myers though. He was free to do whatever he wants with this one, and honestly, I don't see a problem with him trying to do his own thing for the 2nd one. I just think that overall, he's going to scare the sh** out of us with Michael.

[theShape]

Reading the the recent posts in this thread, I feel like it just went back in time to about a week ago. :csad:

But anyway, it's not that Michael having a beard isn't plausible. We all get it. It makes sense. It's just lame we're gonna have to see his face through most of the movie. And you can bet on it being all dramatically lit and cleverly hidden in some shots. I wouldn't even mind much if he wore the mask under his hood. I just don't get why he would even be maskless. In the last movie, he put that mask back on after it had rotted under his house for 15 years.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Well, we have ot understand this here. Michael is basically full human in this new series, so from the start of H2, I always wondered how he would stay in the same mask for the entire film, so it's quite logical if you ask me.

[theShape]

Full human. Is that why he was about 6'9, pretty much had super strength, and could survive 7 gunshot wounds to the body and 1 to the head?

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Believe it or not, it's possible. Though, the head shot isn't all that possible, but people are saying she missed and it scraped his head.

[The Apatow Crew]

People get shot in the head all the time and live. Its not impossible.

[Nightmare]

TAC, If I shot you in the head. Do you think you would live?

[Majik1387]

Depends where in the head you shoot him.

[ABleedingCorpse]

It's possible. Look it up. But considering that the gun used was a Magnum...I highly doubt it though, unless it's of course a grazed shot. Michael would be very messed up, which I believe plays a good part in the plot of the film with his fantasy images.

But really...DOES IT MATTER if he got shot in the head and lived? Go back to the original...you know what..forget going back, it doesn't matter. What matters is Michael Myers and H2 are going to be released, people will either love/like/hate the film or the way Michael is shown, everyone will have an opinion and not everyone see's eye to eye and this whole thread needs a Tylonal because it's one big headache.

And the funny thing is, it doesn't matter if Rob Zombie is directing, if Michael has a mask or not, if Laurie is screwed up, if Weird Al has a cameo or that the ending is a incest love scene....if this were a continuation of the original series people would still have an opinion to speak out about how things should/shouldn't be done. Michael was burnt to hell in Resurrection and that mask he had on surely had to melt to his head....what would have been done next? We see Michael killing people will a melted mask permenitly stuck to his head? That would have been....I don't know what it would have been but I wouldn't have liked it.

But whatever...everyone has an opinion, no one persons opinion is better than anyone elses, we're all equals here (except Marx...lol) and all I really can say for myself is Yes, I'm a Halloween fan from the age of 5. Yes, I'm a Rob Zombie fan since he was in White Zombie and I heard the song Thunderkiss '65. I enjoyed House and Rejects. I would have a Michael Myers tattoo on my leg if I trusted the right artist to do it. Danneil Harris is hot hot hot for a 32 year old chick who looks 17. I liked Rob's Halloween enough to enjoy it for what it was. And Yes, I'm supportive of Rob's choices for his sequal because anything is better than nothing.

[LastSunrise1981]

TAC, If I shot you in the head. Do you think you would live?

Depends on where you shot him and what kind of gun you had, and whether or not help came quick enough to save him. People have survived being shot in the head before.

Point blank?

[LastSunrise1981]

Point blank?

Point blank shot? I'm sure it's happened but those cases are very rare obviously.

In al honesty I wouldn't be surprised if the bullet grazed Michaels head. Laurie was unstable at the end and the fact that Michael's hand grabbed hers is enough to make her miss.

He already failed at making Michael scary. The reason he was so scary in the original was because he had no reason to kill.. nothing influenced it, He had a good family etc..

Zombie completely trashed his character.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ I do agree that that's why the original is the scariest and nothing will EVER touch it. However, this, as I said, is Zombie's interpretation. If this was part of the old franchise, I'd probably be pissed off, but it's not.

[Red Mask]

Point blank?

It doesn't look like he was shot point blank. But I remember an actual story where a boy survived an arrow straight into his forehead.

[Red Mask]

Anybody watch "Sharkey's Machine"? The hitman was so jacked up on drugs he didn't feel any of the shots he received.

[Nivek]

He already failed at making Michael scary. The reason he was so scary in the original was because he had no reason to kill.. nothing influenced it, He had a good family etc..

He made the character a major draw again, and followed the original revered directors only rule 'make it your own". I would rather see why Michael hates his family that just 5 minutes of vauge backstory. It doesn't make him interesting to have no motivation.

In these modern times I'm sure people know there is no Boogeyman. They tried to recreate him with the Joker, but the Joker talks too much. Back when Halloween first premiered psychology was still behind on serial killers. Every wacko has a motive, as illogical as they seem. The Son of Sam, the Hillside Strangler, and others did crimes that were intially baffling.

I guess if people think Michael is the result of Supernatural Demonic Possesion, I can understand why they think this is a departure, and keep spitting bile because it's different than what what they believe is his motivation. To think he just "snapped" AT 8 YRS. is pretty confusing, not scary (IMO at least).

Answer to question #2 with killer pic
Another question that seem to have been asked quite a bit is about the mask. Their have been reports and rumors that he only wears the mask 25% of the time or not at all.

Well, the truth is the movie is just now being edited so the exact percentage of mask wearing is unclear at this point. But fear not, Michael is seen wearing the mask as much if not more than you've ever seen him wearing a mask in any Halloween film. As seen below. Enjoy.

[The Dark Defender]

^^ Believe it or not, it's possible. Though, the head shot isn't all that possible, but people are saying she missed and it scraped his head.

During these past few months many families have been shot dead by a family member, who later commits suicide. As this keeps happening people will see a pattern. Some will believe there must be unholy forces responsible. That's their fear creating a whole new myth, which Hollywood would no doubt use in the future.

Tell that to the 11 year old from Wampum who murdered his step mother and unborn sibling. To me reality will always be scarier than fiction and that is what is great about Michael. He was not some supernatural being, he was not possessed (until later movies). He didn't come from white trash and was beat into killing (Nor did Jordan Brown, the above mentioned 11 year old). He was like one of the many serial killers throughout history who just had some fundamental flaw that caused them to kill. And that is scarier than any motive that can be thought up

[steintym]

I wasn't sure about the hooded look when it was first reported, but seeing it in the picture, it looks pretty cool.

Also, more and more, I'm really liking the decayed look of the mask. Glad to hear there will be plenty of masked Michael. Still wondering what the other masks will be ...

I'm still wondering if we'll see Michael stumble across his clown mask at some point.

It's a slasher flick. Not some psychological drama. What the hell, people? :whatever:

Hmm, I could certainly be wrong, but it looks to me like Michael doesn't have the beard in that new pic. There's like a section missing on his right side and it looks like just skin.

if anything the remake was a psychological drama, seeing as how that was the one that tried to explain why Michael is the way he is. :huh:

Also, it's the ONLY one that blamed psychology for him being the way he is, rather than him just being evil. So that's a pretty ass backwards statement.

[ABleedingCorpse]

See guys, you've been hitting your heads against a wall for nothing. Michael has his mask on, the reports were more of a prank by Toth, and though he will have the mask off for a while, it's like I said, editing does wonders to change things around.

Obviously Michael will have his mask by the time he goes homeless, so now I'm curious about how he gets a new mask. Does that mask just fall apart? Does he just decide that it's time for a new mask? Does he take it off and someone finds it before he gets back to it? mmm...Questions question questions.

Now people will have to moan about "Sure, Michael has his mask...but Michael doesn't wear anything but a jumpsuit. He's wearing a hoodie and jacket...that's not Michael Myers"

Psycho gave birth to two genres : The Psychological thriller and the slasher film. At the core of every slasher film, there there's a deep psychological thriller and at the core of every psychological thriller ( that involves a serial killer) there's a psychological thriller. Friday the 13th and Halloween are on the same psychological boat as the Silence of the Lambs. It just depends on how deep the viewer is willing to go with the material.

Yes, we're getting a teaser. That was only a few clips. A few amazing clips, I might add. been waiting for this for a LONG time.

[Nivek]

Did it come out with Crank 2 today?

We haven't heard anything from Apatow Crew, and he seen it today.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Does he live in NYC or LA?

[Bond]

What the hell? I thought Danielle Harris died in Halloween. Footage looks good though.

[ABleedingCorpse]

The footage looks killer. KILLER!! Damn, I have this warm feeling inside that tells me that the whole movie will just be killer.

[S.A.A.D.]

That small glimpse of H2 was great IMO,this looks better than the first. :yay:

[ABleedingCorpse]

What the hell? I thought Danielle Harris died in Halloween. Footage looks good though.

No. She was alive by the end of Halloween. Just very messed up. But it appears she's able to walk still, surprised there, but it seems she'll get hers in H2.

[Bond]

Oh. Well that's fantastic! I have a crush on her.

[mclay18]

I have to say, the teaser footage looks 100x better than anything I saw in the remake. But then those could be the only good bits in the movie by the time Zombie finishes with editing and scoring...

And I'm glad Michael's keeping the mask on for the majority of the flick -- when some official source says Michael's maskless for 70% of the flick, I nearly hyperventilated. Maybe this could be good...

[Johnny Drama]

Nope, she survived.

Teaser was allright. Didn't really show too much so I am still waiting for the trailer.

[The Dark Defender]

The footage is cool, 20 seconds isn't enough to really restore my confidence in Zombie after the remake though.

[The Apatow Crew]

We haven't heard anything from Apatow Crew, and he seen it today.No, no trailer at all.

Thats kinda dumb its only in NY and LA.

[ABleedingCorpse]

So, Daeg is in the teaser footage it seems. It was definatly Daeg. I'm guessing Zombie changed his mind and decided to seperate Mother Myers and Young Michael from the dream scenes. Sheri was in the footage walking down a street in her dress with a white light background.

Something about the Michael mask with the hood is throwing me off. It looks a bit weird, like Leatherface from TCM3. Nope, just paused it and the right side of the mask (bullet side) is completely missing from the eye part. The mask is ripped almost all apart. Looks cool, poor quality video I must say but better than nothing.

'Wake the Duck Up' .lol. Laurie's mirror had that sticker on it. Funny.

So yeah, hope to get a real quality video of the teaser soon.

[The Apatow Crew]

OMG, this looks incredible!!! :wow:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT4vQghK5xEDamn it, i wanna see more!!!!!

[Bond]

You can see about 5 more seconds of that footage here (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/bdtv/2915), but it's not in good quality at all.

[ABleedingCorpse]

I really doubt that was the teaser ET had. Just some quick clips. Come on, someone from NY or LA had to see the teaser. mmm...I'm going to rumage threw the Halloween forum and see if I can find something.

[jokerface89]

The footage seem to look good.I'm hoping that a teaser trailer will be up tommrow on youtube or even on the offical h2 website

[-Arya-]

I despised Zombie's remake of Halloween, but I'm hoping H2 can at least make Zombie's take on the franchise tolerable.

Id like to say that one aspect about his Halloween that I hate is the fact that Michael's mask is all torn up with stitches everywhere. I miss the "clean" look of it from the originals.

[The Apatow Crew]

I really doubt that was the teaser ET had. Just some quick clips. Come on, someone from NY or LA had to see the teaser. mmm...I'm going to rumage threw the Halloween forum and see if I can find something.Hopefully a bootleg version appears on youtube. maybe tomorrow or so.

[Nightmare]

Holy Sh** Looks way better than I thought this would.

[ABleedingCorpse]

Mask looking the way it does. :

When Michael first got the mask, it was brand new, clean looking. However, 15 years past and the mask was stashed in the basement. Do you know what happens to latex after years of unproper care and weather conditions? Its called dry-rot and Michaels mask feel victim to that. Was there any time for Michael to run out and get a new mask in Halloween? No.

It's only gotten worse from there. Dry rot has taken advantage again and the mask is suffering more. The right side of the mask has been torn off (wonder how that actually happens..). The mask if just falling apart and he will have to ditch that mask eventrually but fear not, he will get a new mask and I'm sure it'll look fresher, cleaner and more classic looking that will please some people.

Personally, I think that Rob continues to grow better and better as a director. He's a director who's constantly striving to do better and better with every movie he does; unlike some directors(*cough* Michael Bay *cough*).

[Darkness Falls]

oh no you di'unt :)

Thanks for the news break, Tom Brokaw :whatever:

[ABleedingCorpse]

LMFAO. I loved that little girl saying that in Halloween. Tommy and her were fun to watch. She had that little ***** attitude that little girls have when they're not around their parents. My niece is that way.

[ABleedingCorpse]

You're welcome Katie.

Nice new avy, ABC

[Johnny Drama]

Nice new avy, ABC

I agree, it's bonafide awesome.

[ABleedingCorpse]

So lets talk speculation. Daeg still in or out? The footage had Daeg in it, but it also had a clip of him wearing the clown mask from the remake also. Could be that Zombie hasn't edited the replacement into the film yet, or changed his mind during filming and is using as little of Young Michael as possible and just keeping Daegs filmed scenes as filler for the footage.

It's just an editing issue for this footage and I'm sure Daeg won't be in the finished product.

[Johnny Drama]

Me niether, but at this point who knows?

[ABleedingCorpse]

People keep talking about CGI, but I don't buy it. It would look too ackward. Zombie doesn't even like CGI unless it's to enhance something that can't be done with pratical effects. CGI'ing Daegs face would be too lame, cost more money than Zombie would want to spend, or the studio for that matter.

Like I said, it's just raw footage just quickly edited together. Daeg, though I'll miss him, won't be in the finished film. Daeg only filmed one scene and they can't do much with that anyways.

[Nightmare]

That's kind of odd. Daeg for one scene. With the new kid in the rest of the scenes? Hmm.

[ABleedingCorpse]

Zombie will have to edit the film...I'm sure he'll get some reshoots soon enough and they'll more than likey deal with Sheri and the replacement kid (that kids gonna get a crappy rep for being 'the replacement kid').

Daeg filmed one scene, it didn't work with him being too tall, and they replaced him. I thought it was weird to see footage from the remake (Young Mike in clown mask pushing window curtian). I'm just sure it's rough edit footage and Zombie wanted to at least use that Daeg stuff in one way or another.

Dude, it was in there for the trailer.

[ABleedingCorpse]

I just said that...I said it actually 3 times.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I have to say, that shot of Myers walking down the hospital reminds me so much of Halloween II (1981). :up:

[ABleedingCorpse]

Yes. That slow steady walk down the steps had a Halloween 2 feel there.

[Darkness Falls]

looking forward to this movie so much

zombie is doing a great job

[Joe Von Zombie]

Except one genre is Oscar bait or pretentious fodder for aging actors that can be PG-13, and the other is low budget formula cash grab or edgy old school independent film making.

While I agree with this statement. My point was that there is just as much psychological depth to Micheal Meyers and Jason Voorhees as there is to Hannibal Lecter and Buffalo Bill, the only difference is like you said; The filmmaker's motivation and the budget.

Wow, that was awesome! Great Halloween 2 vibe there in the hospital scenes.

What the hell? I thought Danielle Harris died in Halloween.

She shouldn't even have been cast in it. She's too well known for playing Jamie in Halloween 4 and 5.

[Johnny Drama]

I wouldn't go that far...

[Doctor Jones]

What happened to her? I saw her on a thing and she is freaking hot now and does pole dancing for excersize.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ You mean Danielle Harris?

[Nivek]

Apparently, yes. She pole dances foe "exorcise".

Whoever the man is in her life, he is a lucky &#*ker.

[Johnny Drama]

I'll 2nd that statement.

[The Joker]

I wouldn't go that far...

I would. She played a major character in the old Halloween franchise. She was Michael's niece.

Not that I cared much, because the part wasn't very big in RZ's Halloween, and it was horribly acted by Harris.

[ABleedingCorpse]

Well some people here *mmm* would consider that Danielle Harris's involvement in the previous Halloween films never happened seeing as how H20 ignored those films.

[Nivek]

She wasn't bad in any way that stood out to me (like Michelle Williams H20 bad).

[batlovescatDC]

I loved Danielle in RZ'S Halloween. Can't wait to see her in this one. It's gonna rock.

[Johnny Drama]

I would. She played a major character in the old Halloween franchise. She was Michael's niece.

Danielle Harris was in Halloween 4 and 5 - True.
Danielle Harris is well known for Halloween 4 and 5 - False.

[ABleedingCorpse]

Yeah. She's not known for 4 and 5, she's well known for RZ's Halloween and finally getting those airbags in her shirt exposed.

[The Joker]

Danielle Harris is well known for Halloween 4 and 5 - False.

Really? So you tell me, what movies is she well known for, especially to the Halloween fan base?
