It’s not October yet.
But it is almost time for Halloween. Okay, not the holiday, per se, but the remake of the 1978 John Carpenter flick of the same name. Now, the idea of someone remaking a movie by John Carpenter certainly had me a little apprehensive. We are talking about the same director that made my favourite movie of all time, Big Trouble In Little China. However, when it was revealed to me that the 2007 venture was being helmed by my favourite kingpin of terror, Rob Zombie, I was thrilled.
For those of you that are familiar with Zombie’s work, you’ll know that he directed both House of 1000 Corpses (a favourite of my aunt’s) and my favourite horror movie of all time, The Devil’s Rejects. Zombie has an eye for direction that I believe is very unique in comparison with other directors. There’s something terribly fresh and exciting about it. In reference to the latter of his two film-making endeavors, by the end of the movie, most viewers find themselves actually sympathizing with the so-called “bad guys” and not the victims. Though, I suppose that’s where the beauty in that film lies…the line between the antagonists and protagonists is completely unclear.
That said, the lovely and luscious Sheri Moon Zombie (with whom I plan on one day engaging in a panty-clad pillow fight and videotaping it for the masses) is also starring in her husband’s remake of Halloween. Two more brownie points.
And, just when I thought this couldn’t get any better, I was even more excited to find out that the role of Dr. Loomis will be filled by none other than the incomparable Malcolm McDowell. This doesn’t need any further explanation. Well, except to say that I’d give my right arm to be a 20-year-old woman in 1972. Now I really needn’t say more.
Curious for a taste? Here’s the teaser trailer…
Halloween hits theatres on August 31, 2007.
In other, more depressing news, today I wore a strapless dress for the first time this year. With it, I wore a strapless bra. Both items were purchased within the last three to four months. I found myself hiking both up all day. I miss my “girls.” Well, sort of.
P.S. Let me know what you think of the external linking I did. Is it useful? Irritating? Did you even bother? It’s just something I wanted to try out.

I like the external linking, but I’m an information junky.
I’ll come see it with you if you like.
Sorry, but your aunt didn’t like House of 1000 Corpses. It was soooooooo bad but - I admit I couldn’t turn it off. It’s the old saying - how things can’t get worse but ultimately they can and do.
i appreciate the xternal linking, that way if you say something that I have no idea about, I can check it out… or if Im bored and interested I can easily link my way to new and exciting places! Keep it up! Oh and I see you tomorrow!
