Lock your doors folks, the first trailer for Rob Zombie’s Halloween sequel, titled simply H2, is running loose on the web as we speak! Picking up directly where the first film left off, the continuation follows Laurie Strode as she is admitted to a hospital after escaping from Michael’s “murderous rampage”. But the killing isn’t over yet… it never is.

At first glance this just looks like more of Rob Zombie doing his thing (lots of screaming and blood, you know the deal) but I have to admit, I’m probably going to be a little more open-minded this time around. I’m still not a huge fan of Zombie as a director, but now that his path is diverging completely from the original franchise, I’m interested to see where he takes it without having to worry about comparisons to what came before. The clips with Sheri Moon Zombie still seem pretty annoying though… is it too much to ask for Zombie to direct just one movie that doesn’t have his wife in it? Check out the trailer in HD over at Yahoo! and let us know what you think. H2 hits theatres on August 28th.
