I’m still hugely disappointed that this is being made, but when a studio starts to think that something’s a good idea they stick to that line of thinking. Remaking a John Carpenter film isn’t a good idea, especially Halloween, and that will be proven for the second time when Halloween II is released on 28th August.
Anyway, here’s the Canadian poster for Rob Zombie’s hack attempt at remaking a horror classic.

I’ve said it before, but I hated Rob Zombie’s remake of Halloween. In my opinion the original is just about the perfect horror movie and there was no reason whatsoever for it to be remade. I was hoping that the relative failure of his first attempt would mean that a follow-up would not come about, but unfortunately he was given the go ahead.
Maybe as it drifts further away from the original story it will be better, ‘cos I’m having a hard time believing it could be any worse than his first attempt.
I’m still horrified by the terrible remake of Halloween that Rob Zombie did a year or two ago. How on Earth could anyone think that remaking a horror classic like Halloween would be a good thing. Needless to say I’m pretty damn annoyed that he got to have a shot at the sequel too.
Here’s a new TV spot for H2 anyway as I’m sure there are some out there who enjoyed his first attempt and want more of the same. Me, I’ll stick to the brilliant original. That theme still terrifies me to my core.
