How to RUIN a Horror Series: Halloween 3D?

I am done, y'all, done.

After reading this, I'm lost for words.

There's another Halloween coming out in the summer of 2010. However, this one may be different...

The independent studio's co-Chairman Bob Weinstein said today that the 3-D sequel, titled, appropriately enough, "Halloween 3D," is in development.

The investment it takes to shoot movies in digital 3-D has proved particularly lucrative for horror films. For "The Final Destination," this weekend's No. 1 movie, theaters with at least one 3-D screen earned 3.25 times as much as those that showed the movie in 2-D only, according to distributor Warner Bros. That's substantially higher than for other recent releases

Weinstein said Rob Zombie, who directed "Halloween II" and 2007's reboot of the 31-year-old horror series, won't return for "Halloween 3-D." He said the studio is in negotiations with a new director, whom he declined to name, who has experience in horror and has a "different take" on the franchise.

What the FRAK? A different take? After 8 movies, 2 Rob Zombie-styled flicks and several comic books, the studio believes there's a different take? And to make this a 3D movie is like making it a cheap county fair ride.

I am Michael Myers-ed out! They have bastardized the character, the movie and magic of this series. Michael is no longer The Shape, he is Toucan Sam. Just a character to put on a poster and a DVD box. This is heart-breaking, I know it sounds weird to say that about a Horror movie, but to destroy this series in the name of greed is too much.

This series should end! If I could, I would write the FINAL Halloween. In respect of John Carpenter's work, I would want this movie series to bow out gracefully.

What else can they do?

And why do they want to continue?

Is originality that dead?

Rob Zombie wants to remake The Blob

Why? Why? Whyyy is this happening? I like Rob Zombie, I'm a fan, but why?

Zombie will write, direct and produce a remake of the 1958 horror classic that launched the career of Steve McQueen. Production will begin next spring.

Zombie's deal to make "The Blob" his next film comes as Dimension opens "Halloween II," the Zombie-directed sequel to his 2007 hit "Halloween."

In the original "Blob," an object from space crashes into a field, containing a red blob-like substance that absorbs the humans it contacts and grows exponentially. While Zombie was a fan of the original, he's formulated a decidedly different take that he would not reveal.

"My intention is not to have a big red blobby thing -- that's the first thing I want to change," Zombie said. "That gigantic Jello-looking thing might have been scary to audiences in the 1950s, but people would laugh now."

Rob wants update the already updated Blob movie?

I can't tell you why, but I will say that I'm so inspired to buy the new Final Draft script writing software. I can't sit here and take this madness anymore.

I just saw Halloween 2 and...

I just saw Halloween 2... And I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I didn't completely hate, but I didn't love it either.

However, I will keep my review semi-vague by using pros and cons

Pros

• Love the use of the mother and the White Horse. Throughout the movie, you see Michael's mother in a ghostly haze pulling a white horse. It's suppose to be a symbol peace in Michael's head.
• Rob's use of music is always great.
• You felt the small town aura of Haddonfield and chill of the fall season.
• Love Danielle Harris... She will always be Jamie.
  

Cons

• Laurie was no Sidney Prescott. She was a bit whiny and boring. But the actress playing her is great.
• It's a year later and Michael is coming back. But where did he go? Why did he leave? It didn't make since for him to leave town for a year without completing his dark mission.
• He's shot in the head! How do you come back from that?
• I understands that Michael kills to kill, but it seems Michael was killing to eat up the spare time in the flick. Some of his kills didn't make sense for the story's sake. (i.e. The stripper club scene, the van scene and the hillbilly scene)
  
• Michael spent a good chunk of the flick just walking to Haddonfield and killing folks along the way... And eating a dog for a midnight snack.
• This movie made a mockery out the Dr. Loomis character. I was highly disappointed in how he was portrayed. He was like Gale Weathers from Scream.
• I hate the giant version of Michael Myers, I wish he was just above average build.
• Although they tried to give Michael a purpose for killing, it was easily lost half way into the movie.
• The opening dream scene was way too long.
• Laurie goes insane in the end, which could've been drawn out better.
• The feel of Halloween was not there. This was far removed from the original, and that wasn't a good thing.

There was something not so complete about this movie. I left the theater feeling cheated and teased. It could have been better and we could've gotten more. I hope this is it. I think this re-imagining thing has ran its course.

It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

I hope they do NOT use this poster to sell this movie!

Rob Zombie will bring us H2

With mixed emotions, I learned (thanks Christopher)that Rob Zombie will make and write the next Halloween movie.

ShockTillYouDrop.com says that H2, will be totally different than the original sequel. In fact, it will be"crazy" and a "totally unique approach" for a next chapter.

They will start in March and release it next Halloween to possibly give Saw 1276 a run for the foolish dollar. I'm not too excited about this. As y'all know, I want to end the tired sequels and remakes. Again, let's start fresh...with something new.

Also I didn't care much for Rob's Halloween. It was cute, but it didn't wow me. Maybe I need to see it again, but do we need a sequel of a sequel? Isn't it like incest? I don't know, y'all. I got a bad vibe about this movie. As more info comes, I will report.
