New Pics: Will Michael Myers Have A Huge Beard In H2: Halloween 2?

The above photo shows actor Tyler Mane reprising Michael Myers in Rob Zombie's H2: Halloween 2 and arrives via a new tipster batch sent to Shock. While it's difficult to make out the face, the guy is rocking long locks and a huge beard (!), features never previously associated with the horror icon. Over the weekend, many /Film commenters had it out over the superiority of Zombie's Halloween compared to Platinum Dunes's limp F13th, and it seems that Zombie will continue to excavate canon and pave new ground in the sequel. Cool by me. Also of note, actor Daeg Faerch who played a young, blond Myers in the first film reports that he has been recast in the sequel due to height issues. He is bummed.

The blog Rated-M also managed to get photos from the film's set, and they reveal two things: there will be Halloween decorations and vibes aplenty (horror fans cited a lack thereof in the first film), and the biography on Myers by an opportunistic Dr. Loomis (Malcolm McDowell), The Devil Walks Among Us, will play into the plot as well.

More set pics after the jump...
