Cinematical Seven: Things You Didn't Know About Michael Myers
Filed under: Horror », Fandom », The Weinstein Co. », Cinematical Seven », Remakes and Sequels », Lists »
With Rob Zombie's 2007 remake of Halloween, we found out that Michael Myers was not so much evil incarnate as he was an ill-tempered white-trash nut-job (yes, there is a difference). So, with tomorrow's release of his sequel to the remake -- Halloween II, not to be confused with Halloween II -- we take a stab (har) at predicting what little-known characteristics about the boogeyman will be revealed this time around.
1. He also has a brother -- In one of those convenient we-forgot-to-tell-anyone-before tangents, someone breathlessly reveals that Laurie Strode was actually a Siamese twin, and that her brother was separated and sent elsewhere. Laurie finds out when he friends her on Facebook, and their tearful reunion is marred only by the fact that their big brother shows up and proceeds to skewer poor Maury Strode on a nearby curtain rod.
2. He has serious allergies -- We see Michael trying to sneak up on Laurie the following Easter, only to repeatedly give himself away with a series of sneezes or trail of tissues. It's this dilemma that keeps him to his autumnal killing spree, not the eponymous holiday itself.
Scenes We Love: Halloween

That's a very long and probably pointless introduction to offering up the Halloween scene I really loved, and keep laughing about. I'm not sure why Laurie just keeps dropping that damn knife when she's pretty kickass otherwise ... and nothing illustrates it more than her clever use of her knitting basket. Weinberg once scolded me for knitting during movies, but this scene is exactly what justifies it. You should always have sharp objects at hand for things that pop up behind the couch. A knife is excessive, but a knitting needle? Ideal!

'Halloween' Stills of Michael Myers In Kill-Mode Released
Filed under: Horror », Fandom », Movie Marketing », Remakes and Sequels », Images »
I have to say, it's about damn time! After a slew of Halloween pics hit the net -- showing us a tame Michael Myers and a very happy-go-lucky Laurie Strode -- Bloody Disgusting has come through with a new set of images which show Myers doing what he does best: killing innocent little girls. Not only that, but he's sporting quite the deranged afro -- what's up with that? Did someone forget to brush their hair when they woke up this morning? Leave it to Rob Zombie to go all punk-rocker on one of film's most notorious serial killers.
Though we still haven't been offered a tasty trailer (or even the smallest teaser), Zombie has apparently decided to show us his entire film through still photographs. Heck, BD has an entire gallery full of them. In these latest crop of pics, we get another look at young Michael (played by a spooky-looking Daeg Faerch) as he sits alone at a table, unimpressed with the assortment of Halloween candy in front of him. "Man, the neighbors screwed me this year -- I know, I'll slice their throats open. That'll teach them not to keep handing out the same five-year-old Twix bar!" Apart from the young Michael, we get a new pic of the old Michael with a bloody knife in his hand, as well as a great action shot (as seen above) of Michael putting the smack-down on (Ms. Strode?). With the film set to debut on August 31, I imagine the next piece of Zombie's re-imagined puzzle will come in the form of a nifty trailer. Oohh, the goose bumps have officially arrived!
