If you’re the cinephile I’m guessing you are, Halloween won’t be spent next to some slutty naughty nurse at a party downtown, it will be spent on the couch with 2-3 great horror films and a bucket of chocolate for the trick-or-treaters that you’re hoping will never show up because they will A. Interrupt your movie B. Steal your precious chocolate.
The question is, what will you be watching? Something classic like The Shining or something more mainstream like The Ring? Or maybe something completely different like Saw or even Carrie? Are you more likely to look for something by a horror innovator such as Hitchcock, Polanski, and Romero or something that has the most blood splatter? Do you go for something classic or something new? Let us know…

This weekend, the Rob Zombie directed Halloween II got trumped by the fourth installment of the never ending Final Destination franchise. Apparently, moviegoers are no longer interested in seeing people killed the traditional way. They need outlandish deathtraps and 3-D technology to sweeten the deal. According to the LATimes, Halloween will be following suit with another sequel that will also be laced in 3-D.

Once again, the teenage horror market takes over the box office with two gory sequels, The Final Destination and Halloween II coming in at numbers 1 and 3, only to be separated by a more sophisticated but the equally bloody film Inglourious Basterds. Sadly, our readers predicted that the wrong film would take the lead this weekend, but I like to see that you all went for good old fashioned quality blood over the new wave 3-D guts. Apparently upping the budget for the last film in The Final Destination series from $22-25 million to $42 million paid off.
Check out all the numbers below…

He’s baaaaack. After an eighty-million dollar box office success in 2007 with Halloween, Rob Zombie will re-introduce everyone’s favorite neighborhood whack job: Michael Meyers. Halloween 2, starring Scout Taylor-Compton, picks up where the last film ends, but this time there’s even more blood, screaming, and senseless killing. Shocker.
Check out the plot, the good, and the bad…

Tonight at midnight, Halloween 2 will terrorize audiences nationwide. Woot Woot. Last week, I attended the press conference for the film and got the rundown from the film’s director, Rob Zombie, who for such a dark and juvenile director/musician is incredibly soft-spoken and introverted.
Check out some of the highlights from the press conference below…

We previously brought you some of the teaser footage from Rob Zombie’s H2 trailer earlier this week. Now, it has officially been released and you can view it in it’s entirety. It pretty much features Michael Myers literally slashing through a hospital to get to his sister, Laurie. As I said before I know this is supposed to be different from the original Halloween 2, but I still notice some heavy handed similarities. I do enjoy some of Zombies films, but Halloween just wasn’t one of them. Some early complaints I’ve read about this trailer suggests that there are a few eerie similarities to Friday the 13th. You be the judge by checking out the video after the jump.
