Patrick Lussier to Direct Halloween 3D

Rob Zombie did his best to kill the franchise, but like Michael Myers, it ain’t dead yet. Patrick Lussier is set to helm the next chapter in the rebooted horror series. Lussier is perhaps best know for directing the My Bloody Valentine reboot. link

• Dread Central has posted six new tv spots for Halloween 2. They’ve also posted a video interview of Rob Zombie with his wife Sheri Moon Zombie. It includes a clip from Halloween 2.
• Shock Til You Drop wants to know why Laurie Strode is wearing the mask in this picture. They also offer some exclusive photos of Danielle Harris from Halloween 2. And they have the redband trailer for The Haunted World of El Superbeasto.
• Film.com offers a fake interview with Rob Zombie. It’s pretty funny.
• Film School Rejects suggests that based on this particular trailer, Halloween 2 looks like an Asylum direct-to-DVD production.
• Fearnet is offering a really cool guide to all of the Halloween movies.
• Here’s a clip from Halloween II from Dread Central.
• iF Magazine has an interview with Danielle Harris where she talks about Halloween 2.

Go check out Scout Taylor-Compton’s Fangoria Interview re: Halloween 2 here.

And you can view the trailer for The Haunted World of El Superbeasto here at Dread Central.

• Shock Til You Drop offers some comments about Halloween 2 and mentions that many of the people who worked on The Devils Rejects have also worked on this movie. Rob Zombie keeps repeating that Halloween 2 was made on 16mm instead of 35mm, as if that’s somehow going to automatically make this sequel better than his first Halloween outing. I think he’s missing the point about what was wrong with Halloween.
• MTV has some really great news. The Haunted World of El Superbeasto might actually see a limited theatrical release. I couldn’t be happier about this news; I’m a LOT more excited about The Haunted World of El Superbeasto than I am about more of Rob Zombie’s Halloween interpretation.
• Rock Star Weekly offers a nice summary of what we can expect from The Haunted World of El Superbeasto.
• Entertainment Weekly is also confused about why the horror movies don’t come out on Halloween. I’ve always wondered the same thing. ESPECIALLY as it applies to the Halloween franchise. It just seems like a no-brainer to release THOSE particular movies on October 31.
• Fangoria is having a Halloween 2 mashup contest. If you think you’ve got the editing chops, go enter the contest and see what happens. If you win, be sure to mention us over here at RobZombieMovies.com.

And that’s my Thursday afternoon post about Rob Zombie news, links and headlines. I’m out of town this weekend, so I might not post again until Monday.

• Nudity
• Language
• Sexual content
• Violence

If anyone thinks that a Rob Zombie movie is appropriate for children…well, maybe they shouldn’t have children…

And if that’s not enough Halloween goodness for you, go check out the Rob Zombie interview about Halloween 2 here.
