#Rob zombie halloween 3d movie
The last Nightmare on Elm Street movie arrived back in 2010, with Watchmen actor Jackie Earle Haley replacing the iconic Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger. Rob Zombie's point about rebooting classic horror movies does stand to reason, although that's never stopped studios from bringing more sequels to theaters. Additionally, Laurie was shown to never have left Haddonfield, and both a daughter and granddaughter were added to the story to bring new dynamics to the long running property.
Blumhouse's sequel ignored all of the franchise's sequels, no longer making Michael Myers and Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode long lost siblings. That's not to say that the new Halloween didn't craft an original story. And after getting some advice and the new music from Carpenter himself, the finished product ended up much more classic than any of the franchise's myriad sequels.
Quite the opposite David Gordon Green and writer Danny McBride have continually voiced their reverence for John Carpenter's original movie, and attempted to use the same tone as the 1978 original. It was around this time that the Saw and Hostel franchises were making buckets of money, and the horror world was covered in even more blood than usual.īlumhouse's Halloween didn't try to reinvent the wheel or make drastic changes to the Halloween franchise. Rather than slowly stalking and suspenseful taking out his victims, Michael was brutally violent, with both Halloween and Halloween II almost bordering on the torture porn subgenre. The Zombie Halloween movies took Laurie Strode and her teenage friends into a modern setting, and transformed Michael Myers into a hulking and terrifying physical presence. Rob Zombie attempted to do just this with his Halloween movies, and seems to have gotten a ton of blowback from fans. As such, it's hard for a director to come in and take any sort of creative liberties with its villains and settings. Properties like Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Friday the 13th have their own level of iconography, due to the groundbreaking nature of their inception. Rob Zombie also addressed how difficult it is to reboot iconic horror franchises. Given the current trend of nostalgia, the latter might be especially important for certain producers and filmmakers to take into consideration before green lighting a new project. There's a lot to unpack here, about not only Halloween and Rob Zombie's history with horror, but also why it's so difficult to properly reboot the classic horror franchise.
I think it's the same deal when someone remakes A Nightmare on Elm Street or anything else - it's just too hard to completely break the formula. But the problem is that when you do a remake you can never get a true judgement on what it is you have done. I prefer the second one, which might surprise people. But I am still proud of both Halloween movies. To be honest, I would rather be doing my own thing. Zombie stepped up the violence and cruelty of the franchise, and recently spoke about his contributions to Halloween, and why he has no interest in returning to the iconic horror property. Rob Zombie's Halloween movies hit theaters in 20, and were a stark juxtaposition to John Carpenter's original, not to mention the myriad sequels that preceded them.
