Rob Zombie Responds to Article Regarding John Carpenter’s Halloween and His Remake

Rob Zombie is a man of many talents.  The man is an amazing artist, musician, and director.  With that being said, this poor man has been the target of hate for unknown reasons.  When the musician turned director released his first film House of 1000 Corpses true horror fans embraced the film while skeptics and shit talkers did what they do best and bashed the shit out of it without actually seeing the film.  He followed that film up with the sequel The Devil’s Rejects and his fake trailer for the Grindhouse double feature before he returned to film with his remake of John Carpenter’s Halloween.  This film caught one hell of a backlash but I personally really fucking enjoyed it.  It showed style, brutal death scenes, and a great character piece.

It has been seven years since the release of that film and people are still trying to stir up a shit storm.  Recently, moviepilot.com released an article arguing that Rob Zombie believes his version of the film was superior to Carpenter’s version.  This article made it’s rounds and found the attention of Mr. Zombie himself where he responded on Facebook by saying the following:

Who ever wrote this (Amy Martin) is a trouble making cunt. I love John Carpenter’s Halloween and John knows that. Why? Because I told him. In fact he was the first person I called and told about my film. He said he was cool with it. I actually said to him “if this is a problem, I won’t do it”. Simple as that.

I have never compared the two films and never will. Taking a bunch of things I said years before I even made the film to try and start trouble is typical internet nonsense. I never pointed out flaws in the original. I pointed out things that weren’t in the original that I could put in mine. Not because I thought my way was better, but because I thought it would be different. Since I figured trying to make the exact same film was sort of silly.

Here is cute quote from this bullshit article “I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but I would say that Zombie is totally lying when he says that he likes and respects the original Halloween, but is just saying that for fear of losing fans if he said otherwise.”

Here’s a direct quote for you Amy Martin… “FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKING PIECE OF USELESS SHIT!” Don’t misquote that.

BTW your article reads like it was written by a fourth grader.

Since Zombie’s post the article has since been removed which only solidifies what Zombie was saying to begin with and that is they were, indeed, trying to stir up shit.  I enjoy Zombie’s work in film, as well as his music career, and I hope he can brush off all these mother fuckers that are hatin and continues to make movies.
