Watching the Halloween series on TV, whether it be the better ones (e.g Halloween III) or the more corny ones (e.g. Halloween 6), has always been a late October tradition for my friends and I. To us Michael Myers is the original name in horror. That’s why when the remake of Halloween download Double Jeopardy dvd written and directed by Rob Zombie was released, we were sort of pissed. You never mess with a classic horror movie franchise without messing something This Christmas

up. Although we were pleasantly surprised after seeing the movie. The Halloween The Brothers Solomon movie remake wasn’t a John Carpenter-style movie; it was gruesome, disgusting and oh, so satisfying. I didn’t mind Zombie’s remake all that much, so when the sequel Halloween II was announced, my friends and I were psyched to check out the first real horror movie since March’s The Last House on the Left

Rob Zombie quit the Halloween remakes after H2, a good move if he does want to be taken seriously as a horror director. (Well, if he wants fanboys to like him, anyway. The “critics-approved” ship set sail after House of 1000 Corpses.) He’s moved on to do a recapture of The Blob (somehow). Just when I thought that Hollywood was done with the series for a while, the Weinstein Company didn’t want their success with Michael Myers to end yet. Bob Weinstein told the LA Times recently that the studio was doing a Halloween 3D Against the Dark aka Last Night video set for release next summer, with High Tension’s Alexandre Aja supposedly in talks to direct. Luckily, Zombie wanted no part in this. Ever since California discovered 3D filmmaking, there’s been countless amounts of trash released. The Final Destination just this weekend, for example. Of course there are the harmless (and fun) horror movies in 3D like January’s My Bloody Valentine 3D and quality 3D movies such as Coraline

and Up, but I can’t see good ol’ Mikey’s hand reaching out of the screen; that’s not where John Carpenter imagined his franchise would end up. He has already received major cult status and $72.5 million for the original two he was involved in.

Though Bob Weinstein has promised the new director, whoever he/she is, will provide a “different take” on the Michael Myers character. Friday the 13^th, The Omen, The Last House on the Left and My Bloody Valentine were all incredibly risky to redo and only some passed the line of decency. However Halloween in 3D is worse than when Loomis shot Michael Myers six times in the first movie. Although this time his return will come as no surprise.
