[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Really? I think a prequel would have been a lot more interesting. What did Jason do before the mask? How was he raised? Did he do any killing as a child? Did he actually drown? I'm thinking of those flashback in Dexter with all sorts of crazy occult stuff a crazy mother and taunting teens. At least there is a story there...though that would likely destroy the character.

As for Hellraiser, I'm leary because Barker is only co-producing and writing the screenplay - not directing.

As for the Halloween deal, as much as I like Rob Zombie I really wish he would have picked a different project. He runs the risk of alienating that general horror fan base he's built if this flops. Halloween fans are rabid. Also, Zombie is really good at bringing a classic 60's and 70's feel to his films. So, his attachment seems an odd choice considering he is supposed to be updating the series. I really hope it works.

He would probably do a real bad ass zombie movie.

The world needs more zombie movies.
