Halloween goodness: I rank the Halloween movies WORST to FIRST

10) Halloween (2007): By far the worst of the entire franchise, and that says a lot with all of the turds. Rob Zombie did well with this film visually and directing, but once again failed miserably with the writing. In my opinion Zombie went way too far back and recreated way too much about Michael Myers that it simply can not be forgiven. Myers was always a good child from a good family turned evil without any provocation. Zombie made Michael a stereotypical, cliche killer by putting him in a bad family and being a product of his environment.

By popular demand: Scabboy's Top 10 Halloween flicks!

So, I get asked a lot about my favorite movies to watch on Halloween. Realistically, you can never count out the obvious Halloween movies (i.e. Halloween) so I will do a top ten list. Most people's Halloween top 10 is chock-full of Halloween sequels, Universal Monster movies and Saw films- mine isn't. I think some people will be surprised with some of my picks.



10) Trick Or Treat (1986): Not only is this a Halloween based movie (hence the name) with that 1980's cheesy charm, but it has Skippy (Marc Price) from Family Ties with a kick ass mullet. The movie also has cameos by Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons. The story is also quite simple- the school outcast played by Marc obtains a demo from his late rock hero who died in a fire. The tape possesses him and he seems revenge against his tormentors. Even though this is #10, it's a MUST for Halloween viewing.

Tom Morga: the iron man of slasher icons!

Tom Morga as Jason with Dick Warlock on set

So,this post the other day made me think about Tom Morga and how he has pretty much been the Jack-of-all-trades of slashers. A lot of slasher fans may not know this, but Tom has donned the hockey mask as Jason (and Roy), the dead-skin mask as Leatherface and the white mask as Michael Myers putting him into an elite group of people to have done that-- just one (him). Kane Hodder has come close; he portrayed Jason himself and did a good amount of Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw Massacre III.

H2, HD trailer!

H2 trailer.

The Weinstein Company went Nazi on YouTube and had every and all H2 trailers removed, however here is a link to one hosted on a foreign server. Still, I think this one looks more promising than the remake, and hopefully it is better. People are still tripping over the fact there will/may be a maskless Myers in this film and that's sort of funny. I do understand the iconicness of the white mask, but at the same time it has been said that he will get another mak by the end of the film so... who gives a fuck? Halloween had an unmasked Myers where his face was shown and this will be no different in that aspect fo fucking get over it already.

The official mask for Rob Zombie's H2

From HorrorBid.com

It's the sculpture of the mask for Rob Zombie's upcoming Halloween 2. I like it, however we will see once it's put to latex and pulled from the mold and haired. Continuity wise it's pretty dead-on. I'm not saying that I am looking forward to this movie, but so far it's looking proper.

I guess I can say the mask can look worse- Halloween 5 and 6 anyone? Still, this movie may suck but will never come close to being the pieces of shit that Halloween 5-8 were.

Rob Zombies H2

So, first Rob Zombie says he will never do a remake, and then he signs on to do the Halloween remake- although he never called it a remake. He always suggested it was a reimagining, which to me is like putting a dick in our mouth and saying you don't suck. Then he later said he would absolutely never do a sequel to the movie, and here we are... it was just announced that Rob will direct a sequel to the REMAKE Halloween II.
