Dimension Films has released a behind the scenes featurette for H2 on YouTube. The video explains that Rob Zombie's Halloween sequel is unlike anything you have seen before in the series, and is a lot more realistic. If that's a good thing or not, I'm not quite sure. I wasn't really a fan of Zombie's…

In the second installment of /Film's in-depth chat with Rob Zombie, we discuss the limp yet horny state of the American horror film. Zombie also rants on why getting original projects made in Hollywood has become a lamer development hell. Given that his last theatrical movie as a writer/director was a remake (Halloween), and that…

Last month, /Film visited the set of H2 (Halloween 2). After flying into Atlanta, Georgia, a colleague and I followed a publicity firm's map and drove far out into the country, down winding roads encased by high trees that exhaled into healthy farmland.

We'll be posting my rather epic interview today with Rob Zombie shortly. In the meantime, here's an excerpt in which he clears up misconceptions surrounding Michael Myers' "mask-less ratio" in H2 (Halloween 2). You may recall previous reports that Myers will go mask-less for 70% of the film. But as Zombie emphasized in good humor,…

Dimension Films has released our first high resolution look at Michael Myers; new mask in Rob Zombie's Halloween sequel H2. As you can see, the mask is ripped, revealing more of actor Tyler Mane's face. I'm not sure I like it. One of the big reasons I think people found Myers scary is because they…

The first trailer for Rob Zombie's H2 has premiered on Yahoo Movies. The nitpicking over canon is inevitable, but I find this trailer to be quite strong and, in parts, genuinely unsettling. Zombie clearly isn't preoccupied with horny teens, and for the horror genre, that's a damn good thing. The many looks of Michael Myers…

The first footage from Rob Zombie's H2 (Halloween 2) has appeared on Entertainment Tonight and it's actually worth a look. Not only does the clip briefly reveal the new mask for Tyler Mane's Michael Myers (look in the mirror), but it contains flashbacks/nightmare imagery of Young Michael Myers wearing the cheap-o clown suit from Zombie's…

Rob Zombie is now through with his principal photography on H2 (a prequel to H20 and sequel to... er... H, non?) and is up to his beard in post production. Between now and the film's release on August 28th, I dare say we'll be seeing a lot more controversial material from the set and playing…

Steve from Collider is a good friend of mine. At least a few times a week we talk about upcoming movies, TV shows, what gossip each of us have heard, and anything else we might find exciting. Since a number of our conversations cover things you also might find interesting, we’ve decided to start recording…
Read More[No photo] 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.…

The gory image above is our first clear look at Laurie Strode, once again played by actress Scout Taylor-Compton, in H2: Halloween 2. Nice chipped teeth, eh? As you'll recall, Strode is the (formerly) estranged sister of slasher Michael Myers, and according to horror visionaire Rob Zombie, "let's just say this is the best part…

With Jason Voorhees likely to receive a bloody good welcome this weekend for his Platinum Dunes revamp, Michael Myers will have to settle with a new teaser poster for H2, the sequel to that oh-so-polarizing of horror remakes, Rob Zombie's Halloween. According to Shock, Zombie will begin filming shortly in Georgia to meet the release…
