Whether or not you’re on board with Rob Zombie’s re-imagining of Halloween, the big question on just about every fan’s mind has to be: What will Michael Myers look like? Zombie answered that question yesterday on his MySpace Blog and the answer is: Exactly the same.

He says they’ve finished making the mask that Tyler Mane will wear as Myers and insists: “It looks perfect. exactly like the original. Not since 1978 has the shape looked so good.”

I’ve been pretty opposed to most of these lame remakes of classic horror movies we’ve had to suffer lately. The Hills Have Eyes, The Hills Have Eyes 2, Wicker Man, When a Stranger Calls, and so on. They haven’t just been unnecessary, they’ve all been godawful bad. But what Zombie’s doing with Halloween may be exactly what the franchise, and maybe even the genre needs. He seems to be making all the right moves. Let’s see what happens.
