Rob Zombie is directing a remake of the 1978 horror classic ‘Halloween’. The film will be released in the US on October 19, 2007 and will be his directorial follow up to 2005’s ‘The Devil’s Rejects’ and 2003’s ‘House of 1000 Corpses’. The former White Zombie singer said that the film would not just be a remake of the original. He told Yahoo: "I basically went back and just came up with the idea of basically – not essentially a remake, but a very extended prequel sort of combined with an update, say, of the first film."You’re starting from scratch but in sort of a more detailed way. That’s the way I thought it would be exciting for fans of the original, because it’s not just the same old thing, and it would be.

I hate artsy horror, horror is not artsy, arsty films are a horror for me to watch. I tried to do either Devil’s or 1000 Corpses, but after 10 minutes I had to shut that crap off. And I watch cheesey awful horror movies.
