Zombie Michael


From Bloody-disgusting, 'Writer/Producer/Director Rob Zombie writes on his MySpace Blog: "I've just seen Wayne Toth's finished mask for Michael and all I can say is "HOLY FUCK". It looks perfect. exactly like the original. Not since 1978 has the shape looked so good. Wayne worked this sucker to death and boy did it pay off."

So far it sounds to me like Rob is really headed in the right direction and keeping it real for us uber fans. Why change something that worked so perfectly in the first place? Go Toth, we loved what you did on Rob's other two films and can't wait to see your masterpiece!

So far the confirmed cast is Tyler Mane (Michael Myers), Malcolm McDowell (Dr. Loomis), Daeg Faerch (young Michael Myers) and Heather Bowen.

After being committed for 17 years, Michael Myers, now a grown man and still very dangerous, is mistakenly released from the mental institution (where he was committed as a 10 year old) and he immediately returns to Haddonfield, where he wants to find his baby sister, Laurie. Anyone who crosses his path is in mortal danger.

Zombie's vision of this film is an entirely new take on the legend and will satisfy fans of the classic "Halloween" legacy while beginning a new chapter in the Michael Myers saga. "This is a bit of a prequel and a remake, combined," says Zombie.'

Obviously that's not the mask being dicussed - how horrible is that thing? I wouldn't be scared if he came at me wearing that mask, I'd just feel sorry for him.

Yeah, it looks like he got nice and combed for his school picture. And on the way home, mean kids pushed him down.

Yeah totally, it looks like Michael's school picture! He should be in a comic striop called, "Li'l Mikey"
