		<description><![CDATA[The killer stalking his prey, about to aggressively plunge his big sharp knife from sky high depths into a fallen, blonde victim.

It's a classic horror genre image and it's proven to be effective for Dimension Films in plugging Halloween 2, the second of Rob Zombie's personal dissections of psycho killer Michael Myers and the revenge he takes upon his family. Thanks to Bloody Disgusting for the heads-up!



I like the poster, its straight to the point, it doesn't pretentiously show us that really Mike Myers has a tortured human soul beneath it all, and that the boogeyman was really just a nice boy who was brought up in a bad family. We don't need to see that and let's hope Zombie has kept down the flashbacks to an absolute minimum because "Myers: The Younger Days", were easily the worst parts of his Halloween. 

A fast paced, genre fulfilling slasher movie with plenty of inventive kills, a terrifying portrayal of Myers and smart/interesting young characters is all I need for satisfaction here, to feel like I got my money's worth. I don't ask for much when it comes to slasher movies but most these days can't even the basic fundamentals. 

Oh and I gotta mention, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know as bad as ROB ZOMBIE'S HALLOWEEN was, outside of John Carpenter he delivered a more effective slasher film (i.e. everything that dealt with the shape) than any of the countless sequels over the past three decades.

So I'm not going to rip him to shreds about helming a sequel. I think he has a good HALLOWEN-esque movie in him and now free from the shackles of Carpenter's vision (which he never had a chance in matching anyway) he might be able to deliver something really good. Though Variety tell me it will be titled H2... which well, can any movie titled that really be good? At least it's coming out in October this time though, that's something at least for a movie about a killer who murders on Halloween night! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite claiming he had no interest in directing another HALLOWEEN movie (you may remember he said the same thing about ever doing a remake), Shock Till You Drop are now reporting that Rob Zombie is expected to be announced as the director of HALLOWEEN 2 for Dimension Films this week.

The sequel is expected to film in March (previous reports of January were ambitious) and it's an easy gig for Zombie who has struggled to get his pulp movie TRYANNOSAURAUS REX off the ground...



Last year's remake made $58 million domestic, more than enough for a sequel to be a financial probability but despite the attachment of several other directors (including Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury, directors of INSIDE), The Weinstiens always wanted Zombie to return. It would appear he had been hounded for a year about this project and finally relented and has agreed to return to Haddonfield along with Tyler Mane (the man behind the Shatner mask).

If Zombie does accept the gig in will be the first time in the franchise history that a director has returned for a consecutive movie in the series and only the second time a director has come back to helm Michael Myers again, after ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dread Central have heard from a reporter at the 30 Years of Halloween Convention in Pasadena, CA. that producer Malek Akkad announced a January start date for HALLOWEEN 2, a direct sequel to Rob Zombie's remake of the original 1978 John Carpenter classic.

Tyler Mane, the former wrestler who played Michael as "The Shape" has already agreed to return and talks are under-way with several of the actors from the first movie. Rob Zombie though, won't return to direct.



The only rumor so far of who might helm are the duo film-makers Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury who directed the French horror INSIDE and were at one time to direct the HELLRAISER remake.

Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN was a big success for The Weinsteins, grossing $58 million domestically ($78 million worldwide) and it was a shock to everyone they didn't greenlight a sequel immediately last summer. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well it's been a long time coming and for a while there it didn't look like it was going to happen with the Weinsteins and Rob Zombie disinterested in visiting that merry-go-round again but I think in the backs of our minds we all knew it was inevitable, even before Halloween 2007 opened.

After grossing $78 million at the box office last year and with the continuation of other slasher franchises such as A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th - the news that Halloween 2 is back on comes as no surprise.

Shock Till You Drop say Dimension Films are head hunting Alexander Bustillo and Julien Maury to helm - the French duo who helmed the gore-fest Inside in their native country and until a few months ago were attached to direct the Hellraiser reamke for the same studio before dropping out, are likely to be lensing.

I pretty much made it well known my hatred for the whole idea of a Halloween sequel but I will give Rob Zombie his due... your movie sucked but you did however make the most interesting "The Shape movie" I've seen in the franchise for a long time. What I mean is he ...]]></description>
