Halloween Directory - Halloween Lives On At The M

Halloween Lives On At The Movies On August 31st!
The franchise may be going on thirty years-old now, but don't look for any less blood or thrills when Director Rob Zombie's version of "Halloween" hits the screens for the latest bloodfest. Off successes like "House of 1000 Corpses" and "The Devil's Rejects", Zombie will bring a freshness to the legendary series of slasher movies that is sorely needed, all the while staying true to the original concept. His version will expand a bit on backstory, though not at the expense of the requisite mayhem and gore.

Zombie will explore Michael Myers motivations, getting us to know him a bit. Then when he turns it makes the outcome even more terrifying. His backstory will make the killings justified in his mind, and all the more disturbing to the fans watching it. Now he'll have a reason for all this mayhem, and nothing is random.

The film features Tyler Mane as Myers, Scout Taylor-Compton as Laurie Strode, Malcolm McDowell as Dr. Loomis, with Brad Dourif and William Forsythe in supporting roles. Sheri Moon, director Zombie's wife, will portray Myer's mom, Deborah Myers.

Given the directors musical expertise, great things are expected from the soundtrack, which is almost as widely anticipated as the film. If you've managed to grab a sneak peak at the movie trailer, then you'll know what I mean! Expect to see to huge push for this film and soundtrack this month.
