Rob Zombie, Halloween, Michael Meyers and Weird Al

Posted on 22 April 2009 by Michael DeZubiria

I know, they all make perfect sense except for that last one, right? Well, in accordance with the ongoing remake craze, Rob Zombie is continuing with his second generation of Halloween movies with the curiously titled H2, and he has just cast Weird Al Yankovich as a television talk show host in the new movie. There are a lot of people for whom Rob Zombie can do no wrong, but also a lot of people for whom he can do no right. Personally I’m a huge fan of Rob and a huge fan of Halloween, which I consider to be one of the best horror movies ever made, and I think the addition of Weird Al to the cast of the newest Halloween movie is perfectly in step with Zombie’s tendency to bring from the past the things that he loved while he was growing up himself. But will the Halloween movies ever die?

H2 is set for release on August 28th, 2009.
