It’s called “Branding”. Having the balls to put your name before the title is saying it’s yours. Carpenter was doing it before it was popular and the marketing people were smart enough to use Robs name before the title for marketing.
Rob made his version of Halloween…in it’s own universe. That is fine. The new movie ignores every single sequel but, uses easter eggs as nodes to the sequels but follows the Halloween 5 and 6 story line.
Which is worse? Making your own version of Halloween or ignoring the sequels but using them as props then using a story line that was already used and trying to pawn it off as your own? I won’t even go into making Michael copy Jason or anything like that in the new movie.
You’re the first person I’ve seen who GETS it! I feel like they just kinda went through the films, wrote down everything they liked and then Frankensteined a movie from it. We’ve already seen 90% of DGG’s Halloween before and it just leaves one scratching their head as to how fans can support that, much less LIKE it. What’s funnier to me is that people are praising the rotten mask and head stomp, which were both borrowed concepts from RZ.
This has happened numerous times on film history, it’s not a new concept. At least RZ went the other route with it rather than, as I said, made a carbon copy.
Oh totally dude! I agree with everything you’ve said in this thread! I’m glad RZ did his own thing with it. I was happy to see something original for a change!
well halloween 2018 is miles better …and it’s already the best halloween movie commercially and critically since the original…so you lost…well these things that you mentioned as ‘‘recycled things’’ or ‘‘copy from the past movies’’ fits well the new movie and the new movie has really make a great homage to the original classic ‘halloween’…about michael copy jason john carpenter had made michael ‘a jason copy’ a long time ago when he used more blood and more ‘‘slasher’’ in the halloween 2 1981 …and the other sequels and the remake were like that.So I don’t know why you being mad for this when you support halloween 2007…rob zombie didn’t make something ‘‘original’’ he just destroyed michael and halloween franchise …the opening scene of his remake is the worst scene ever made …and overall it’s an awful movie…but I can’t expect something better for some ‘‘fans’’ here.if some of you really love roz zombie’s halloween you can’t like the new halloween 2018 movie. they are different in every aspect.halloween 2018 is great and halloween 2007 is garbage.people just have different ‘‘taste’’ …
