Yeah, the Halloween franchise has been a joke since it became a franchise (that is to say the first one was good and the second was laughably terrible – and they got worse from there). Whatever shit companies and directors want to continue to put these things out – more power to them.

I’ve just checked out Platinum Dunes’ filmography and there is lots of horror in it (albeit none of it great) The Texas Chainsaw Massacres (2003/2006), Amityville Horror (2005), Friday the 13th (2009), Nightmare on Elm St (2010)
One thing’s for sure, PD knows how to make crappy horror remakes!
Two interesting future projects of PD: The Monster Squad and Ashley Woods’ Zombies vs. Robots
Who’d think Halloween would be good anyway?

I ain’t care. Shit company #2 takes over shit company #1’s third film in the remake series, where the second film was god awful.

This isn’t much of an issue. I am one of the few people who don’t really get up in arms over remakes, because most remakes tend to be films that were never all that great, or foreign films that never would have sold to an American audience as is. I just hope that they end up making a good movie in the end.

Growing up, my younger brother became obsessed with the Halloween films at an early age, so I’ve seen them all a good amount of times and can safely say that they were never all that good. Certainly products of their time, but hardly hold up in this day and age. Nostalgia really does help this franchise (and many other horror franchises) quite a bit.

I never understood why Rob Zombie’s first Halloween movie got so much hate, it was probably the best movie with the Halloween name attached to it. I never saw his second film though.

Either way, there is more important things to worry about than a third Halloween film, or even another reboot. Isn’t there?

Yeah…this isn’t going to be very good.
