Rob Zombie Will Direct New Halloween Installment

Rob Zombie, on tour in support of his latest release Educated Horses, announced that he's going to direct the next version of Halloween .

Zombie took on the project to put the "scary" back into the Halloween series:

"Halloween started off as a very terrifying concept, a terrifying movie. But over the years, Michael Myers has become a friendly Halloween mask. When it came to the point where you could buy a Michael Myers doll that was cute-looking and press its stomach and play the 'Halloween' theme, you knew the scare factor was gone."

And, Rob says he will not simply remake what's been done before:

"I am not making Halloween 9. That series is done, complete, over. But what I am doing is starting totally from scratch. This the new HALLOWEEN. Call it a remake, an update, a re-imaging or whatever, but one thing that for sure is this is a whole new start...a new beginning with no connection to the other series."

To no surprise, Zombie will also be the movie's music supervisor.
