august 31st marks the theatrical release of rob zombie's remake of the classic horror movie 'halloween'. if you have seen any of rob's other movies, you will know that this will be a killer remake. it stars a few people that appear in his other movies, such as his lovely wife, sheri moon zombie, danny trejo, and lew temple.
any fan of good ol' classic horror movies from the 70's, such as 'the texas chainsaw massacre' or 'the amityville horror' will certainly appreciate mr. zombie's vision. not only is he an excellent director, but you can tell he is a rabid fan of horror.
his past movie's, 'house of 1000 corpses' and 'the devil's rejects' were both instant classics in my library, and i still watch them frequently. the viewer tends to grow to sympathize with the characters, no matter how evil, rude, and brutal they may be. i have no doubt that the same will happen with this remake of 'halloween' (well maybe i will sympathize with the 10-year-old michael myers).
i will definitely be there opening weekend with my friend, chris, as we have made a sort of unspoken tradition of seeing mr. zombie's movies in the theatre as soon as we can both be there. in the meantime, while you, chris and i are waiting for that day, watch the trailers over and over again.
