Halloween II

Not much to say other than we all know what's coming out this weekend. It's a promise that this movie will be utter garbage. His mom's a fucking ghost?! Is he NOT wearing a mask?! Dude, your wife's a SAG member-she'll find work. She died in the last flick, she doesn't need to show back up.
Look, I like Rob Zombie...a lot. He's always incorporated horror themed elements into his music and stageshow as well as making a couple of films that were kinda fun. House of 1000 Corpses was this cartoonish head trip and I thought it was a lot of fun. The Devil's Rejects on the other hand was a much more grim, realistic, but fun movie to take in. Either way, the guy was doing his best version of Texas Chainsaw in both instances but it wasn't like it wasn't respectful. But this Halloween remake bullshit is getting kinda old. He's already PROVEN that he's better than that. Now I'm hearing that he's doing a possible remake of The Blob?! Ugh...
As I'm finishing the latest Gary A. Braunbeck novel (which is brilliant), it begs the question: Why the FUCK isn't anyone developing original screenplays?! Sooooo many great books written that are ripe for development yet remain untouched as we rehash every single damn slasher that's existed in horror. Please tell me life will get better...
The Wolfman trailer DOES look badass, though...
