ROTTEN TOMATOES: Rob Zombie Profanely Happy About New Michael Myers Look

Rob Zombie Profanely Happy About New Michael Myers Look

by Scott Weinberg | January 05, 2007

Now here's a small, weird, but potentially interesting piece of horror movie news: Director Rob Zombie (who's presently hard at work on his "Halloween" remake) just got his first look at the new Michael Myers mask -- and he was so excited he had to use the f-bomb to describe it.

Check out the mini-mini-report at Zombie's MySpace page, but don't click the link of the granddaddy of profanities offends you. Suffice to say Rob's really (really) pleased with what production designer Wayne Toth came up with, mask-wise.

Starring Malcolm McDowell, Tyler Mane, and a bunch of people who haven't been announced just yet, Zombie's "Halloween" opens on ... August 31st??

How good can it be? They probably added huge horns or something stupid.

I wonder if they found an old shatner mask to use as a guide? I never paid much attention to the differences in the masks from movie to movie. The good news is if Zombie is this concerned over the look of the mask then he's taking this movie very seriously and it should be good.

I'm perplexed by the August 31st date, too. Why not a mid-October release date? Although Saw 4 will scare away potential horror movies, I think this one could be one that would cause hesitation for which date Saw 4 chooses. Mid-October and you'll have a big audience show up on Halloween (if, obviously, the movie turns out good).

Maybe it will come out in theaters in August and be on dvd in time for Halloween. ;)

With Zombie directing, this will likely be the sleazebag version of "Halloween."

.................... it had still better be the shatner mask. that would be like taking away the hockey mask or the red and green sweater. but if zombie knows what looks good for his film, then more power to him.

Maybe they'll use a Leonard Nimoy mask this time. . .

extremely good to hear, the mask has always seemed off since the original.

So, two crappy movies so far and a bunch of crappy music ("Thunderkiss, '65" being an exception). Someone tell me why he's still a part of any conversation?

Yeah, The Devil's Rejects was one of the better horror outings of the past 10 years (I realize the field isn't exactly rife with amazing cinema). That combined with the fact that he is re-imagining one of the most revered horror films of all time makes him damn relevant in the eyes of your real horror fan. A hell of a lot more relevant than some imbecile like Eli Roth.

Totally agree except for the music, never heard any of his, then again I am not into his type of music anyway.At least he keeps his wife in a job though with her acting abilities its the only way.

He was better when he was in White Zombie, as opposed to his solo work. Gotta admit, AstroCreep2000 is one of the best rock albums to come out of the 90's.

I'm really excited about this one. I would rather have a polarizing Halloween film than an inarguably horrible one, like Ressurection.

Can't wait to see pics of this new mask.

This is going to be a big load of garbage. I dispise with great passion, anything he has done in cinema. I can't believe anyone had any faith to give him such a task...and what's even more pathetic, is that he actually thinks he's a good director and writer.

The only good Halloween was the first one. The other ones sucked!
