Creepy just checked in with us from the Halloween 30 Years of Terror convention going down in Pasadena, CA with some news direct from Malek Akkad about the sequel to Rob Zombie’s Halloween!
First off, the movie will be a direct sequel to Zombie’s re-imagining, but actual plot details couldn’t be revealed as of yet. Tyler Mane will be back as Michael, though, and other cast members are in talks to return as well. They’re hoping to begin pre-production in January with shooting to start up in March.
So who will direct? That’s still in negotiations, too. Last word was that Inside (DVD review) partners Alexandre Bustillo & Julien Maury would be behind Halloween 2, or whatever it ends up being called, but Akkad couldn’t say if that was final yet or not.
Hopefully some more Halloween 2 news will come out of the show, and if it does, you’ll see it right here!

Michael dodged the bullets.
Michael can dodge bullets.
You didn't know that?

I was disappointed with Zombie's film, but I have high hopes that these two will do a good job as long as the studios don't interfere and make it more palatable to the general public...which will probably happen.

Somewhere, Uncle Creepy twitches uncontrollably.
Yet, it IS promising to hear that the Inside dudes may be involved.

I'm excited for this - as long as they learn from the shit-fest that was RZ's Halloween and make a pact with the devil never, ever to do anything like that again or their soul it takes forever!
