sounds to me that rob is gonna make another halloween, but have it not be attatched to the others (thank god) and lets be honest, with devils rejects..it had the total 80s slasher look to it, with the lighting and just everything, boys i believe we have found someone to save the horror biz ahaha

I\'m 50/50 on this one pretty much. While I\'m a bit estatic that they are making another Michael Myers based film, I\'m also very curious as to what the storyline Rob Zombie will come up with. Too me the Halloween series pretty much ended after H2 cuase it all went downhill from there in my opinion. It was just one pitifull plot after the other, they milked the series almost dead after they released H8 with good ole Busta Rhymes. Glad that Rob is disregarding that piece of crap of a movie but at the same time the fact that he has almost any freedom to do what he wants with the movie worries me but seeing how much I loved The Devil\'s Rejects I\'m def. going to see this one on the big screen.

Here\'s a bit of an interview I read. It gives a little more insight on where this is going.

"The ninth installment in the "Halloween" franchise
will be "a bit of a prequel and a remake, combined,"
Zombie said. The film will be set before the events of
1981\'s "Halloween 2: Halloween Resurrection," and will
focus on Myers\' origins and development into a serial
killer — his youthful years before his commitment to a
mental institution.

The news might come as a shock to some fans who read a
message posted on Zombie\'s MySpace page last week,
where the rocker shot down rumors that he\'d been in
discussions with Dimension to breathe new life into
the pale-masked Myers.

"I don\'t know how this story all got started but I am
not making \'Halloween 9\'," he wrote in a post dated
June 3. The next morning, he clarified the situation
in a separate post, writing, "I am not making
\'Halloween 9.\' That series is done, complete, over.
But what I am doing is starting totally from scratch.
Call it a remake, an update, a re-imagining or
whatever, but one thing that [is] for sure is this is
a whole new start — a new beginning with no connection
to the other series. That is exactly why the project
appeals to me. I can take it and run with it."

Before accepting the job, Zombie told Variety he\'d
reached out to Carpenter, seeking his blessing.

"The original \'Halloween\' is hallowed ground to me,
and I talked to him about it and he was very
supportive of what I wanted to do," Zombie said. "He
said, \'Go for it, Rob. Make it your own.\' And that\'s
exactly what I intend to do. Over 25 years and a lot
of movies, a very scary character became something of
a Halloween cliché, with Michael Myers dolls that play
the Halloween music when you press their stomachs. By
the end of the sequel cycle, there was little
connection to the original. I take that film very
seriously, and I want to make it terrifying again."
