Rob Zombie's Halloween

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

This is going to blow. I like most of Rob's stuff - but why is he making thiss? Why not do his own slasher film 'in the spirit of' Halloween and Friday the 13th.

I really hate this new trend of explaining the motivations of these fictional killers. In my opinion the legacy of both Leatherface and Hannibal were recently ruined in their respective prequels.

The fact that you don't know what fuels these horror icons is far more frightening than anything passed off as a cause. Not to mention that, just like in real life, the motivations of truly deranged mass murderers and serial killers are generally beyond reason and are purely speculative.

Therin lies the horror.
