Which he does. Also, this is his take on the film, not John Carpenter's....which is a GOOD thing. We already saw Carpenter's film, and Zombie couldn't possibly make that film as well as Carpenter himself did. I wouldn't want to see an exact copy, its been done, and done much better than Zombie is capable of....and I think he knows that.

BUT having said all of that, Zombie has, in my opinion, made one generic, mediocre horror film (House of 1000 Corpses) and one well written, intelligent and effective horror film. I don't think it was a smart move for him to follow them up with a remake. Especially a remake of a film that is as well loved and influential as Halloween. Its a mistake, and he is risking alienating a lot of horror fans, when if he had continued as before, he would have proven himself a bit. This does come across as an ego trip.

But I will give it a chance. I doubt it could possibly piss me off as much as the TCM remake.....;)

I got thrashed for it... but I liked the TCM remake better than the original. Haha
