A Date and Mask for Zombie's H2

January 4, 2009

The Weinstein Company's Dimension Films is sticking to the formula that worked the first time and has set an August 28 release date for writer/director Rob Zombie's H2. Zombie's Halloween was released on August 31, 2007 and set a new record for the four-day Labor Day holiday weekend with $30.6 million. It went on to gross $58.3 million domestically and $20.2 million internationally.

Zombie's Tyrannosaurus Rex was previously scheduled for the Aug. 28 weekend, but since he is taking on H2 first, the project has been pushed back.

In related news, ShockTillYouDrop.com has posted a sneak peek at the Michael Myers mask to be featured and worn by actor Tyler Mane in H2. "If you thought Michael was f*cked before, you ain't seen nothing yet! He is bigger, meaner and more psycho than Dr. Loomis ever thought possible," Zombie says.

The follow-up will pick up at the exact moment the first movie stopped and follow the aftermath of Michael Myers murderous rampage through the eyes of heroine Laurie Strode. Shooting starts in March.

Gee, I really hope he sticks to his formula of making every character gloriously white trash. (sarcasm)

They should have left the first one as a stand alone and stuck with the shock ending or Myers getting his head blown off. Would have been a lot better for Zombie putting his mark on the series. Just a thought.

Yeah, we absolutely need more backstory and character development in order to delve further into the psyche of these unfathomably awesome characters and shed some more light on the reasons why Michael Myers grew up as a...

Um, no. Wait... The first one was enough. But the Weinsteins are in it for the love of the art, that's a fact. Poor Robert Cummings... what's next? A 2 girls 1 cup prequel?

Zombie is the worst F#cking director ive ever seen. His take on halloween was god awful. Carpenter's take was the best and only. I wish they would just let the franchise die or have a new director that actually has TALENT!!!! Making myers family look like trailer trash come on.

Thank you The_doctor86, I couldnt have said it better myself. What Zombie did to Halloween was turn it into a version of pure ****. Carpenters will always and forever remain a classic while Zombies will live forever in the bargin bin. Its a disgrace, Halloween is my most favorite horror film, but if I had the chance to direct it I think I would give it more justice than what he did.

I wonder if...now me hear out on this...I wonder if you lot blast Rob Zombie's Halloween because you've individualy made a dicision that it's a bad movie or because you think it'll make you seem like a hard core horror fan.
I've watched every single glorious horror picture and every single bad acted,shot-on-VHS CamCorder from countless countries. I've seen alot. Trust me when I tell you that the original Halloween movies really, kind of suck.
The first two are pretty good, but the franchise really fell into miscarriage harboring toilet quick.
Rob Zombie really did a great job trying to jolt some life back into Michael Myers. It stand out from the remakes of The HIlls Have Eyes and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, wich are films that really spit in the face of the brilliance of the originals.
Remakes of Hellraiser, Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th are on their way. Our boogeymen are getting makeovers because we have nothing new to offer. I'm not excitied about these remakes but I'll give them a chance. These are characters I still want to see and not in another goofball, seventh sequeal.
