A Devil's Reject to take on the night HE came home?
There is a rumor floating around the net that none other than Rob Zombie has been signed to write and direct the continuing adventures of Michael Myers. In addition to those duties, Zombie is also tapped as a producer and the music supervisor. The only problem, at this point, is that this is a rumor that has been circling with no hard evidence that it is actually going to happen.…

You don't need to tell me, I made another mistake.
27 - Final Entry
It's been tough over the past months with peoples opinions about Rob Zombie's Halloween, but it doesn't really matter what we think, it's what they think. There beloved series is bringing in a new film, not a sequel or remake. Just a Halloween film. Rob Zombie's version. This may be the last entry to this website dued to Rob Zombie's Halloween film being finish filming 3 days ago. But nothing will spawn from that film.
I can tell you that. The series, the current series is just put on hold, that's all. If you looked at Dylan Martin's opinion he gives a possible reason of why Zombie says the series is over even though it really isn't, and he knows that. They will make sequels to the current series, finish it off for another few decades, because there is still more to tell. A remake doesn't mean the end of the series. And it doesn't mean start from scratch. It just means bring back what was once a great movie to show how it express itself to audiences. Just take a good look at The Hills Have Eyes Part II (1985) and The Hills Have Eyes 2 (2007) both of those films are the same. The 2007 film is a remade version of the 1985 sequel but it serves as a sequel to the remake. It's not trying to get people to forget about the original (I think), it's just trying to bring back what was a great movie. No HAllOWEEN film is stupid, boring, or crappy. There just Halloween films, it's what we want and we got it, what could possibly be the problem then? You can never be angry of a film that you claim sucks because in the end, you will realize that it is still a Halloween film no matter what you or anyone else say about it. Now, why do people hate Halloween III? Is it because of the acting? The plot? Or just the characters? Or maybe just because it doesn't have Michael Myers in it? Is that it? You can say that film sucks, but why? Because it doesn't have Michael Myers in it? Halloween isn't just about Michael Myers, it's about Halloween, give these films a chance, show them that they can be part of the series too. Because they weren't made just to pretend to be part of the series. Once Michael Myers is dead, that doesn't mean that the series is over, they might make a spin off series, or replace Michael with another killer from his family like Stephen Lloyd or John Srode/Tate. This is practically all I have to say but don't get your hopes up too soon. Stand back and stand strong because the future of the current series of Michael Myers reign of terror is heading your way...............

I just have this one thing to say. It isn't about Rob Zombie's Halloween, but I was just wondering about the film Friday the 13th. Does it take place in 1979 or 1980? I went to some websites and it states 1979, but hardly no websites that states 1980. Which is it?
29 - Web
That's simple. It's 1980 not 1979. What the date said on Pamela Voorhees's tombstone in The Final Chapter (Part 4) and on those Friday the 13th websites was a mistake! The film takes place on Friday June 13th. There is no 13 on a Friday in June of 1979, but there is a Friday the 13th in June of 1980. And that's the year the movie came out it so it must take place in 1980.
30 - Net
Unfortunetly, Friday the 13th does take place in 1980. Here is a timeline of the years I think the films take place in:
Fri. Jun. 13-1980=Friday the 13th
Aug. 1980/Jul. 7-8 1985=Friday the 13th Part 2
Jul. 8-11 1985=Friday the 13th Part III
Jul. 11-13 1985=The Final Chapter
Summer. 1988=A New Beginning
May 12-13 1989 or 1990=Jason Lives
Oct. 1994(prologue)-1998=The New Blood
May 6-7 1999=Jason Takes Manhattan
May 12/20-23 1999=The Final Friday
August 13-20 2003=Freddy Vs Jason
2010-2455=Jason X
I might be wrong with the timeline so if you think you know the right years for the films, right them down.

Iv'e seen all of the halloweens and i think rob zombie should definetely make halloween 9 because the halloweens are the best movies ever and you carnt leave it because michael wakes up at the end of ressurection, so please rob zombie or eny 1 please make a halloween 9 dont do a godzilla, u no when 1 hatches at the end of godzilla and there hasnt been another 1 yet so please make another 40 halloweens or sumthing lol but you hav to make halloween 9 come on every michael myers fan like m is begging u rob zombie or sum 1 else.
32 - Net
I was just wondering. Even though they're making Halloween 9 anyway, how would you se it as? If you were writing the script for this movie, what should it be about? I was thinking that it should be a direct sequel to The Curse of Michael Myers (Part 6). It ignores the continuity of H20 and Reurrection since it's part of the Laurie Strode Storyline. I also want this movie to have a cameo of Halloween 3 playing on TV, but titled Season of the Witch so it wouldn't be confused it's storyline and it's reality too. And finally Stephen Lloyd, 13 or 14 years old would do. And I would also bring back some original charaters like Rachel Carrothers, Tommy Doyle, Kara and Danny Strode, Dr Wynn, Mr and Mrs Carrothers, Tina, Lindsey Wallace, Billy, Mrs. Blankenship, and Tina. That should be enough. I would want this movie to start of with clips from Parts 4 and 5, and then some of Part 6 too. It will start out as a replay of the ending of Halloween 6 and then fast-forward 13 or 14 years later in the year 2008 or 2009 (mostly 2008). Michael goes back to Haddonfield after a 13 year disappearence and he hunts after his long lost grandnephew/son Stephen Lloyd. Bizzare things happen and Michael is finally defeated, blown to pieces and dead for sure. This movie would mention alot of things from Part 4-6. This is what should be mentioned and what not to be mentioned:
Mention:
1)Rachel escaped her 'believe to be dead sceem while Jamie was destracting Michael.
2)Mention Michael's thorn symbol, the reason of his reign of terror.
3)The return of Mrs. Blankenship and Dr. Wynn, as well as the other Smith's Grove cult members.
4)Dr. Loomis died in the early 1998.
Final)I want Halloween 3 (titled just Season of the Witch) to play on TV.
Not Mention: (disreguard)
1)I would not want this film to mention none of the events from Halloween and Halloween II. And H20 and Resurrection........and probally Laurie Strode too (you can hate me on this later).
2)Judith Myers won't be mentioned either. (Halloween 4 and 5 didn't mention her so don't be angry with me on this......please).
Final)Michael doesn't have any burnt marks on his hands (ignores Halloween II and Resurrection).
So there you have it. My Halloween 9. I know you must think my idea of ignoring Laurie Strode is a painful thing to do, but this is just my opinion. After all, the series is split up into two or three (Part 3) seperate storylines. Laurie Strode: 1,2,7,8. Jamie/Stephen Lloyd: 4,5,6,9.
And one last thing, if this film is going to be pasrt of the 4-6 storyline, it is going to need a title to match up to those films. I would choose Halloween: The Rage of Michael Myers. I think
33 - Net
I think it will make a great working title.

Does anybody think that the Hill's Have Eyes series is confusing to put together? You know what I mean about that. If you don't understand, I'll explain. First we get The Hills Have Eyes in 1977, okay. Then we get The Hills Have Eyes Part II in 1985, good. We get yet another sequel The Hills Have Eyes III/Mind Ripper in 1995 and the 2006 remake of the original. But something that happened this year messed the whole series up. The Hills Have Eyes 2. Why? Because, if you were to watch the original and then this movie, both films would make a perfect match, and if you were to watch the remake, and then the sequel to the original, they both would make a perfect match. It doesn't matter how you watch the films, each of the sequels can tie up not only to it's prede- ccessor, but to the original film too. You see how confusing that is? You can watch the remake and then the 1985 sequel, and you won't see the difference, you can watch the original and watch the sequel to the remake, and you still won't see the difference. Confusing, I know. I hope there isn't going to be another film added to the remake. I mean, we already got the 1977 film, the 1985, and 1995 sequel, do we really need another series in the world? No! Hollywood should really leave these films be, because the more remakes that come out, the more original films are just going to be forgotten. YOU might not care about the original, but I DO! And as for this Halloween 9 movie, it is not going to be a remake. but more of a completely different take on the original and I'm fine with that, and as Rob said, 'these people don't want to do anything new, or different, because there's really no point of making these movies if those movies already exist.' I wonder if they would stop remaking movies, i know it is a new generation, but sooner or later, someone is going to have to know about the original.

I have a new entry. I just found out on Halloween series.com that Malcolm McDowell want there to be a Halloween Trilogy from Rob Zombie's Halloween.
And I am 100% against it! I don't want a whole new series! We already got one! What do we need with another? I want there to be a Halloween 9 and thats it. Spin-offs? That's okay too! I am not happy. I hope Rob's Halloween is good, but not a success, I want there to be a Halloween 9 ans Malek Akkad even promised that. Halloween: Resurrection is good in all, but it's not a good way to end the series, and no remake or remake sequel is going to stop that either! So take your pick: Which series should continue and why? The Original franchise or this new franchise?

Well im a big rob zombie fan,I think its great you know the scarier the better.You know there is so much more sound effects and stuff today, then there was when halloween was first done.I so go for it.What can hurt. oh my he makes it more intence then some people can handle.That is the problem now days the scary movies are almost too dull and dont make ya jump like they use too,if i can predict what happens next, its not scary.so either suck it up and see if ya dont like the new changes.
37 - christy
oh not new changes, but more indepth added to it.

I have something else I want to say, but it isn't about this new Halloween film, it's about Children of the Corn II. If you seen this movie in theatre, how much did you have to pay? I bet it was alot. Here is a tip of those that seen it in theatres:
The film was really called Children of the Corn II: Deadly Harvest, but the producers wanted more money, so they called it The Final Sacrifice so that it can make people believe it was the final film dued to the word ''final'' being in the subtitle. I found this out a few days ago on a website. If you went to see this movie and had to spend $12-$20 something dollars on this movie, you might be wanting your money back by now.
39 - Elf
If any of you went to see it, you been ripped off..................
...........alot.

No matter what Rob Zombie says; the fear the studios have in investing into an original script is indeed sad. What has made the original Halloween so successful had the elements that this film could not possible have. A low budget and two talented individuals: Carpenter and Hill. Remaking and updating Halloween III would be the true challenge.
41 - Trevor Vanhouten
I don't really see the point in these remakes. It's been six months since I last posted here, and I come to a change. I know Rob Zombie isn't trying to take the series away from us wth this new movie, but I don't want to see anything spawned from it. What can it spawn? It can't spwn a prequel, it already explain Michael's story, it can't be a sequel because the whole purpose of a sequel is to give us some new info. But since this movie completely explains everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, it doesn't need to spawn nothing. Not even a series of it's own. But the original series needs help. Maybe a new film for 2008 like all of these people are say. That's what we need.
42 - Phoggy
I went to Halloweenseries.com, and Rob's changing the ending and featuring new death scenes. Hopefully he can kill Myers off. I would be so happy to see that. I wonder what other people think.
43 - Phoggy
Why on earth are you guys discussing Friday the 13th and Children of the Corn II on this board?
44 - Brenda
I think there will be a Halloween 9, because from the looks of all of the reviews from people that went to the test screening, the film doesn't look too good. But I'm still going to see it. And I kinda agree with Net's idea for Halloween 9. I mean come on people, many of you are saying how there's no story to tell and how there's no point of explaining Parts 4-6 if H2O and Resurrection ignores them. But you're wrong. Who says we have to continue on from that storyline? The series is broken up into two separate storylines right? And since there isn't anything else to tell after The new storyline (1,2,7,8) the only way to go is to go back to the original storyline (1,2,4,5,6,'9').
That's the only way to go from here.

well heres what i think,
halloween:ressurection, had a so called theme in it, the reason why michael myers was still alive at the end was to tell audiances that evil never dies....
which is telling you there will not be another halloween,,, ROB ZOMBIE , and i agree with the rest, totally made the classic look bad, the new one focuses on his childhood way to much, they made the mask awful, made him to tall, and totally fucked the original over...

He messed the whole series up. What's so good about a remake? What's the point in seeing something we've been seeing for the past 20-30 something years. I created my own Halloween 9 this past month, and mailed it to Dimension Films to see if they would actually make it. It's a good story. go over to Halloweenseries.com to the Halloween 9 message board.
