  • Malcolm McDowell Heads Up Cast Of 'Silent Night, Deadly Night' Remake

    In the early '80s, the horror film Silent Night, Deadly Night caused an uproar, but now it just more remake fodder.

    As I was typing up some notes on Rob Zombie's Halloween II, this CNN headline flitted through my newsreader: 'Victims of repeated abuse suffer complex trauma.'

  • Halloween II Set Visit Report. Update: Post-Screening Verdict

    Post-Screening Update: In short, my verdict on Halloween 2 is that it's superior to Rob Zombie's first effort and a far more entertaining film. Zombie definitely listened to criticism that the first film wasn't holiday-oriented. In this one, he stages a trippy Last Supper with Jack-o-Lanterns. And moreover, it works for chrissakes. The critics labeling the…
