I finally got the chance to check out the latest and greatest Halloween 2007 the other night. I must say that it was a pretty decent movie. Coming from Rob Zombie, I expected a little more blood or weirdness but don’t get me wrong, it was a little creepy. Being a Michael Myers nut for years I was too busy trying to compare this movie version to the very first one from 1978 and didn’t focus too much on what was scary or not.. I don’t think that this movie is actually supposed to be a remake, but just through the mind and fantasy of Rob Zombie.
The movie starts out telling the tale of Myers as a creepy young boy and his redneck family. The story explains in detail how he was physically, verbally and mentally abused. Just as most serial killers start out, he took out his aggression on small animals in creative ways. One Halloween, he totally lost his marbles and killed most of his family…thats when he got taken to the nuthouse. During his stay in the mental hospital, his infatuation with long hair and masks grew as well as his creepiness.
By the the time Myers breaks out of the hospital, he’s all grown up. Ex-wrestler Tyler Mane made an awesome Michael Myers! Standing tall at about 6 foot 8 inches, peeking through long stringy hair covering his face and wriggling his crusty toes, I really thought they did a good job of making him look disturbed.
Long story short and not to spoil anything for those that haven’t seen it, Michael Myers ventures out to find his sister who is the only surviving family member. On his last killing spree, he stashed the William Shatner mask and classic butcher knife under the floor boards. The nostalgia really kicks in when he goes back to the secret spot and digs up the past. During his search for his sister, he slices and dices a handful of people that get in his way.
The movie ends pretty much the same way as the 1978 version but doesn’t leave any hints or notions that there will be a sequel. I kept waiting for something corny to happen like a hand twitch or eye open from the killer’s dead body…but nothing.
If you like the old Halloween movies, this one is a Must See.
It looks like they sent in reinforcements because this is the 2nd time that I have had my space invaded by a mouse! Many of you remember the Mouse In Pants episode…well, this one didn’t get that close to me…but was close enough.
I was just sitting there minding my own business and I thought that I seen something out of the corner of my eye. I did a double take and sure enough, it was another little mouse on top of my desk! In shock, I did the same thing as before and yelled some obscenities before it ran behind my monitor. It stopped to chew on my bamboo place mat and strike a few threatening poses.
Since my camera was nearby, I snapped some photos of him before he took off.
This all happened a few minutes ago and he is down under my desk somewhere…just waiting to jump up my pants.
