With the release of the latest movie in the Halloween franchise, Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, the hosts of Now Playing look into Michael Myers’ family scrapbook, watching and reviewing all ten Halloween movies. After a series of sequels with widely varying quality, Michael Myers follows Leatherface to have an extreme makeover for the 21st Century audience. Directed by Rob Zombie this film is a hybrid of Zombie’s aesthetic previously seen on screens in House of 1000 Corpses and Devil’s Rejects, and John Carpenter’s original vision. It’s part prequel, part remake, and all Rob Zombie, with Malcom McDowell taking on the role of Loomis. But does the remake work, or should Busta Rhymes have returned and the old story continued? Listen to find out!
