Are her front teeth chipped? Great photo, BTW.

Posted by: 80Pork on February 27, 2009 at 11:50:04

I was going to ask the same thing...is that a fake chipped tooth? I imagine if she really had a chipped tooth, she probably wouldn've gotten that fixed as she came into acting. Then again, I've never really noticed if her tooth was like that before.

I wonder what John Carpenter has to say about that.

Zombie was told to make these movies his own, and thank God he has. Hollywood has pretty much killed the chance of horror films actually being scary, I think you all know what i mean. It's just great to see a killer who hasn't been humanised with some bull**** back story, Myers isn't a monster he's a force of nature.

Love it, love it, love it. Rob Zombie is the best.

Nothing against Carpenter. The first Halloween is a CLASSIC and all! But give me a Fu(king break if you thought that movie scary you must be sporting a big wet Vag between you legs. In 1978 sure it was scary but that dosent make it scary for the desensatized world we live in now. It may be a classic but Zombie's version is much more intense then seeing a man in a spooky mask fallowing a girl around in a station wagon. (how lame was that) He had been in the hospital for Years but yet he still drives that 78' Wagon like a champ. LOL! I'm a huge fan of the original DAWN OF THE DEAD but the new one was better then the original. The Original is also a CLASSIC, but it needed to be revisited and James Gunn nailed it just as how Rob Zombie did with HALLOWEEN!

Starting to feel a little uneasy over here. A trip to the hosiptal sounds an awful lot like a certain Halloween 2 that already exists. I hope that Zombie doesn't f*** this one up as badly as his first attempt. What a wasted opportunity his "re-imagining" was, such a shame....

holly rolling bowling shoes batman!!.... this is amazing....RZ you are doing it man.... you are going to make an amazing movie... i can't wait to see what see what mike is going to look like.

Really gross pic, hopefully they keep her in the hospital and let Michael nail her in the back with his big, long, hard knife.

Posted by: RJ Scriber on February 27, 2009 at 13:50:29

Just because a pic of a girl covered in blood gets released, everyone is saying how he's finally doing it? And how is everybody comparing this to the original? It's supposed to be an re-imagining.

It's gonna have to take a helluva lot more than just a bloody pic of a decent actress to get me excited about another Halloween movie, which I still think should have been left alone.

rae dogg - how has Rob Zombie made Myers scary? If it wasn't for Carpenter, there wouldn't be any Myers.

Doc Meathook - Zombie ruined Myers by explaining his entire back story. HE humanized Myers.

Posted by: Jaguar on February 27, 2009 at 14:40:16

RJ:
do you really believe that's humanizing a character? If so, you might want to get some psychiatric help of your own. That was NOT humanizing. that was monsterizing a child!!!
Humanizing a character creates empathy. there's something there that we can connect to.
Just because we learn the truth about the Myers family past. Which is all to set up one thing: the scene of Mikey attacking the nurse. That's when we realize that there is nothing human there, not anymore. You can't empathize with that monster. That creates fear, because that little monster will someday be a very big, pissed off monster. And we -should- be afraid if he ever gets out (OH CRAP! he got out!)...
And Do you really think that in our world of "Everything has already been done" that someone wouldn't have eventually come up with Michael Myers? A thousand monkeys with typewriters and all...

However, I do have to agree with "hospital?".. this does look like it'll be right off of the original Halloween 2... only "Zombiefied". Which is fine. If that is what the first one was, then I can take it with the second because he did such an awesome job. And how much fun do you think Zombie is going to have letting Mikey bring Hell to a hospital?? Dude, I'm hoping someone gets it in the eye with a syringe! just one! (Please, Mr. Zombie? a needle full of steroids!)

wow I love rob zombie's music not a huge fan of zombies take on the first one on his version of halloween although there were some things I did like. Im not completely bashing it! and im not here to mess with people but damn and this one is to rae dogg from canada you can't be serious that you actually think for a moment that rob zombie's version is better than the original and give me a second before you want to attack me lol i know you said you the love original but bro i don't care how many halloween flicks rob will make none will touch the original. You know why the original was so great? because you had to use something called.......*drumroll*...... imagination. That's why carpenter's original movie is a classic because its spooky not alot of violence its basically just cat and mouse games. we have this dark shadow that follows us around and we know nothing about him. micheal myers is halloween(the holiday spirt) he supposed to stand for being dark at every street corner, the darkness in your closet etc. the best thing about the first is that you hardly see any gore or blood. Damn people do we always need thing's spoon fed to us!?!?!?

Posted by: Ryan on February 27, 2009 at 14:59:13

And I am looking forward to halloween 2! the set looks great and feels halloweenish. but as for my last comment micheal myers should be left a mystery thats the whole purpose of the character to keep the fear going but I guess the granddaddy of them all has to be destroyed to. =[

Posted by: RJ Scriber on February 27, 2009 at 15:03:09

Jaguar - you telling me that watching the child get neglected, teased, and abused doesn't create empathy in some, and sympathy in others?

As you told me, you might want to get yourself checked (I know a great shrink!), if you think just because a child loses it, then we must hate him. Zombie put all those scenes in there for a reason, and thus doing so, he humanized Michael Myers.

Posted by: Jaguar on February 27, 2009 at 15:06:33

good point, Ryan, although, i think you should've said Myers is supposed to be the boogeyman.
The only thing is, and its been stated before is, today's movie goers are too desensitized to "cat and mouse games". We need something more visceral. Something that pokes those darker, primal corners of our brains and makes us afraid of ourselves, now.
We no longer fear images on screen, unless those images could be us. And that is something Zombie did... Hey look at this sweet, innocent kid. That could be YOU! And how many of us think about doing those things? We all do. And there's nothing more frightening than being shown the truth about ourselves.

Well, there probably are more frightening things.. but I can't think of any... except dieing in my sleep. that's pretty scary.

Is Danielle Harris returning? Did I miss that update??

Posted by: Ryan on February 27, 2009 at 15:16:07

To jaguar of course lol how can i forget! and yes I see your point but sometimes its good to just let your imagination run wild and walk into a movie to be scared ****less for a change.

Posted by: Jaguar on February 27, 2009 at 15:27:48

RJ:
You should go back and watch the movie again. There is nothing humanizing about what happens to li'l mikey.
At first impressions, and at first looks this could be any average, run of the mill kid.
Then he gets pushed (and as we all know, all it takes is a little.. PUSH!).. and proceeds to beat the bully's head in with a friggin' log.
Thats when the empathy stops. Because as much as we all might dream of doing that to our own oppressors, we never would. And this little kid just DID.
The scenes that follow give us a pretty solid break down of Mikey's rapid spiral into his psychosis. He gets picked on at home. He gets snubbed on Halloween.
What does he do about it? He duct tapes a guy in casts to a chair and slits his throat. "Then stabs him repeatedly about the face and chest".
How do you empathize with that? (other than the symbolism of Ronnie trying to keep Michael down).
Then there is his sister. And she ignores him. Doesn't take him trick-or-treating so she can bang her beau. Michael ignores her cries as he stabs her repeatedly.
The boyfriend, poor schmuck, is in the wrong place at the wrong time. And gets his skull caved in with an aluminium baseball bat.

How can you empathize with someone who descends that rapidly into psychosis? How do you feel sorry for a -KID- who puts that much thought into violence?
Well, just in case you still think he's human, then we get to the mental hospital. And we see in a matter of months as Michael's condition worsens, as he shuts off. Stops talking to people, hides behind his masks. He does more and more and more to keep us from feeling any kind of connection with the character "Michael Myers". And this all culminates with Li'l Mikey attacking the nurse. He attacks her for being "rude" (very Hannibal Lector, actually.)... and these all serve to sever our connection to the character. Not make him "more relatable".

So, no. I think you're wrong about that.
And I never said "hate". You said "hate". I said "fear". You should go see that shrink, they might be able to help you understand that you have learning disabilities.

Posted by: Jaguar on February 27, 2009 at 15:33:18

Very true. How nice it would be...
But how do you accomplish that -today-? That's a really good question. I think I'm actually gonna pursue the answer to this...
"What will scare the **** out of you?"... This has always been the Great question of The Genre, and unfortunately, as time progresses, we become just a bit more jaded.

And i really hope this slough of remakes isn't Hollywood trying to find out what scares us. I don't think anyone is truly scared by these remakes of the ol' Slashers... I think we're highly entertained by them now, and that is what gets us to shell out the bucks to see them. "Nostalgia"...

Posted by: Ryan on February 27, 2009 at 15:41:55

in my opinion these remakes have become more action then horror. I see them as action movies and that shouldn't be like that. but jaguar if your referring to my comment what really would freak me out is when a movie uses less and less of things instead of more and of course it would have to be done right.

Posted by: RJ Scriber on February 27, 2009 at 15:54:52

Jaguar - I never said that you said hate. I used the word hate. Secondly, I'll forgive you for writing so damn much.

I don't care how much you take the time out to write whatever reply, it is my opinion. But, I must have learning disabilities, forgive me, I'm drooling now...

Whenever you take the time to explain ANY characters' life, especially a horror icon like Myers, you humanize them. Sure, they might have not shown all the things that led to his spiraling, but they hinted at it - neglect, abuse, and teasing. You think that his sister, mother, Ronnie, and the bully just decided to do it all on the same day? That's a bit of a coincidence, huh?

Since you referred me to go back and have the shrink teach me learning abilities, then you should have read that I never said you empathize with his killings, but the path leading up to it, is all too familiar with many of our youth. Myself included, when I was younger.

Anyone who has ever been neglected, teased, or abused would know that we all think like little Mikey did, it's just that most of us decide to not act upon our temptations. Little Mikey didn't... perhaps, had his mother not been a stripper, Ronnie being a human cast, and his sister being the town whore, he might've known better.

For not taking him trick-r-treating, that's not even relevant. It just so-happened to fall on October 31st, which through the years, gave Haddonfield kiddies and adults alike to spook each other.

The way he offed the characters, to me doesn't matter, sure some may have been more brutal than others, but then that goes back to what I said, and begs the question, "What the **** did Ronnie do to him?"

Why wouldn't he wear the masks? He's been so used to being ignored, why would he want the attention now? As far as we know, he could've been thinking that the nurse was like everyone else, and could have been extremely unfair to him. Thus, is the reason he sought out after Laurie.

You yourself said in another post, that he was more like the boogeyman. If your mother, father, older brother, or sister ever told you about the boogeyman, and then told you about his childhood, you'd still be scared? I don't think so. Myers is supposed to be a shadow, just lurking around, and no one knows what he wants. Yet, Zombie made it perfectly clear of what Myers always wanted, thus making him even more humanized as an adult, knowing that he had a soft spot for a sister who didn't even remember him.

So, no, I think that you're wrong, and I will stand pat next to my opinion, and say frankly, that Zombie ****ed up Michael Myers by telling his back story, and humanizing him. But, just in case you don't like my point, feel free to insult me further.
