ROB ZOMBIE Explains Decision To Tackle 'Halloween'

September 25, 2006

Rob Zombie recently spoke to AOL Music about his decision to direct the remake of John Carpenter's late 70s cult horror flick "Halloween", tentatively due Oct. 19 of next year.

He says it was not an easy decision to take on the job, which begins production immediately following his current tour. "I thought about it for a long time before I even had an answer, 'cause 'Halloween' is a movie that I love," Zombie tells AOL Music. "But then I went off and lived with it for months."

What finally made him say yes? "After thinking for a long time and watching the original over and over, I thought of a way you could take that story and retell it totally different so it wouldn't look like you were just imitating a movie that already existed. There was a way to make it fresh," he says. "After I came up with that idea is when I decided to be part of it."
