Check out the trailer here.

Are there any fans of the original here? What do you think of the "re-telling"? Will you go see it? I am a huge fan of the original. I am so tired of movies being re-made, but I may go see this one. I like House of 1000 Corpses, even though it wasn't much more that the original Chainsaw Massacre.

I love the original as well. Saw the trailer for this with Grindhouse and it did look intense. Malcolm McDowell sounds like the perfect replacement for Donald Pleasance.

I agree. Looks like they did a good job on casting. A long time ago I heard a rumor that Jamie Lee Curtis was going to make a cameo, but I don't think it's true.

Meh...I could either way on that. I don't think her presence in the last couple added that much.

I never really got into the sequels. The stories were all over the place and they try to retcon too much and change things around. I'll just stick with the original.

Oh, I agree. Infact I hope she doesn't make an appearance. The original is by far the best. I like part 2. The others are so-so.

While we're on the horror subject, scariest movie you've ever seen?

Mine would have to be The Exorcist.

Yes, when I first saw the Exorcist, I was very young and it freaked me out! I will agree that is the scariest. I will also say the original Blair Witch Project. I like the way they played the 'fear of the unknown' and unseen for that matter. I find that movies that play with your imagination have greater impact, because there is nothing more vivid than the imagination.

HOW COULD ROB NOT DO THIS FILM FRANCHISE JUSTICE ???

I don't take his movies seriously
I laughed more at House of 1000 Corpses than was grossed out or scared.

I'm certain he will be able to pull this Halloween movie off. I read one of his interviews where he said that he wanted to keep the feel of the original Halloween movie and keep the fans happy. I just hope he pulls it off.

Did you see The Devil's Rejects? If you did and can critically think about films, I don't see how you can say anything negative about its crafting. You may not like it as a movie, but it's a seriously excellent display of directorial prowess.

I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.

Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

The alarm bells are ringing for me. Just how many films has Zombie directed besides 1000 Corpses, and Rejects?
It seems a little to soon for a director to tackle a cult classic.

The original was made during the "newish" slasher genere at the time.
Now that everything has been done many times over, would this hold the test of time years after its release like the original (i enjoyed the Chainsaw Massicre remakes but they are not any better than the original - nor would i class them as a classic films)?

Also, anyone know what its costing to make?

I really hope i'm proved wrong but it's going to end in tears for everyone methinks.

As much as i'm drawn to see it, im waiting for the reviews 1st.

I saw Devil's Rejects. It was much better than House of 1000 corpses.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking Zombie for tackling this project. Rob Zombie is a huge horror movie fan. He even said in an interview that he is trying to stick to the feel of the original Halloween. I just hope it does in production and filming of this movie. I'm not knock him as a director at all. I just didn't take House of 1000 corpses seriously. I kinda had the feeling that he wanted people to feel this way about the movie. But, that is just my opinion.
