Halloween is for Zombie

When we look at classic Hollywood movies remade recently we see a wave of horror. What's worse than knowing that Ewe Boll continues to find financing to direct his shitfests? It's hard to really find good, original films now, everything's piggybacking off of another movie or style.

When it comes to horror movies, I guess my taste is a little weird. I love horror movies, I don't get scared easily, but I also haven't seen too many. I've got to say my favourite flicks are Shaun of the Dead and 28 Days Later.

Okay okay, they're zombie films, not slasher, but they're under the umbrella that is horror. 28 Days is a good, all around adventure through a zombie apocalypse. And Shaun is a fantastic homage to classic zombie films. Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright really know their zombie movies. That's what you want to look for when shopping for a good horror flick, a director and writer with a sense of humour who really understands the genre.

What better man embodies this than Rob Zombie? Talk about a guy who knows his horror!
I adore Rob, both for his music and his sense of humour. He's intelligent, funny and a big horror geek. He's the perfect director and writer to tackle a remake of Halloween the movie.



Indeed, remakes tend to be crap. That's typically because studios don't care as much about the content as they do about the money. Rob understands good horror, watch his other films or just listen to his music, and know how to write chilling scenes with Michael Myers.

Jamie Lee Curtis's career kicked off after Halloween, who knows if this version will also kickstart some young starlet's fame?

As long as she doesn't die of course.
