Rob Zombie did a great interview regarding his upcoming “remake” of Halloween.

Here’s how he answered the question that everybody wants to know the answer to :

QUESTION: Can you please clarify what you mean when you say you are “not making a sequel” and that your Halloween will be a “re-imagining” of the series? Isn’t that just another word for “remake”? (from Cole in Chicago)
RZ: Well, sort of. I am basically making a prequel and a semi-remake of the first film all in one. So really in theory there will be more original content than remake content. That’s why I don’t like the word “remake.”

Good Answer!!! Okay so if you want to check out the rest of the interview just click on the link below.

Go Zombie!

Stacilayne from Horror.com does an interesting side by side comparison of scenes from the original and the remake - if you haven’t seen either I wouldn’t recommend clicking this link - The Omen vs The Omen

Good stuff!

Here is another interview with Wes Craven about the new The Hills Have Eyes remake:

Interview with Wes Craven

. . . could the old guy be going soft on us? Actually the Vegas show sounds kinda neat . . .

Oh boy, here it comes . . .

During the previews for the remake of The Hills Have Eyes, there was a trailer for Damien: The Omen remake. How perfect - it will be released on 06/06/06.

It was funny because as soon as I saw the dog, I knew what was coming next!

These remakes have been great and all, but can’t we get a little originality here? Okay Rob Zombie, when is your next flick coming out??? Or even M.Knight???

But through all my complaining, who will be in line to see the remake . . . me of course. And I know if we stop watching they will stop making but I just can’t help myself!

. . . but is the film industry doomed to just repeating itself?

SciFi interviewed Wes Craven on The Hills Have Eyes remake. It’s pretty interesting, to see more click the link below:

Okay, so the re-make of The Hills Have Eyes will be in theatres March 10 and of course I had to go out and get the original version. We actually were able to get the original 2-disc set and not the re-release which does not have all of the cool special features on it. Haven’t watched it yet but probably will tonight.

I am really excited to see Ted Levine in the film as I can never forget his performance as Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs! Everytime I see him on Monk I just freak out imagining him saying “It rubs the lotion on its skin . . . ”

Hopefully I will be able to see the remake in theatres this weekend.

Is nothing sacred? Here’s another in the laundry list of remakes of great 70’s horror flicks. Oh Hollywood, this is getting old!

I saw this on IMDB and after seeing some of the other remakes of the classics I again, hope for the best but expect the worst. We’ll see . . .

Race with the Devil 2006

Originality, the lost artform . . .

According to IMDB there is going to be a remake of The Entity. Oh no, here we go again! It is to be directed by Hideo Nakata (Ringu, The Ring 2).

Hmmmm…I am not sure how this will turn out, but I am the eternal optimist…maybe this time the ending will be better?
