My Favorite Time of Year

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

Now, I know October is still a couple of months away, but it is truly my favorite time of the year. Already in August, I start thinking about Halloween and what to plan for that year. This year it’s a must to start thinking about Halloween this early because Halloween the movie is being released on August 31st! I absolutely loved the original and remember it as a child when it was replayed on TV around Halloween time.

Rob Zombie is “re-imaging” the original move, it is not a sequel, it will have some prequel content and a partial remake of the original content. He is writing, producing and directing this version. Rob Zombie is probably my favorite horror movie writer right now, I loved 1,000 Corpses and The Devil Rejects’. It also looks as if Rob Zombie will be making more than 1 movie based off the class Halloween horror, mentioning he will be using some previous characters from the first 8 films and planning something with no older characters involved. The idea behind the new film is to go deeper into Michael Myers’s back story, for example the mask itself will be given its own story to provide an explanation as to why Michael wears it.

Check out the trailer for the new Rob Zombie movie and get ready for Halloween!
