Rob Zombie posted a new photo of Scout Taylor-Compton who plays Laurie Strode in the new installment of ‘Halloween’. I thought for a second that he missed a day of new ‘H2’ blogs, but I wasnt paying enough attention as it was posted yesterday.
I like this new trend of directors posting photos on their own blogs/twitter pages to pump us up about the movie.
What you see here is not an official entry into the final marketing for Zombie’s ‘Halloween’ follow-up. Â It is a potential final poster, but it has not been selected by Dimension to be released in theater lobbies.
Regardless, I really like the design. Â There hasn’t been much use of the pumpkin in ‘Halloween’ marketing since the original ‘Halloween 2,’ and this design uses them creepily and effectively.
Shock till you drop passed the above poster along, which was created by The Refinery, the same company that put together ‘H2’s teaser poster. Â When an official, final poster for ‘H2’ comes out, we’ll let you know. Â Until then, enjoy this leaked contender.

Rob Zombie is a very busy dude posting up new stuff from ‘H2’ everyday and today its a vintage clip featuring Uncle Seymour Coffins, check it out below:
Rob Zombie seems to be updating his blog everyday with new stuff from ‘H2’ and today is no different. Today we get the first image of young Michael Myers played by Chase Vanek. The kid looks alot like Daeg Faerch from the first ‘Halloween’ flick Zombie did. Faerch couldnt come back to play the character since he has aged from the filming of the first one, so Zombie was forced to recast the role.
Looks pretty creepy eh? Not as creepy as Daeg but still pretty creepy.
Rob Zombie updated his myspace and included some pretty badass new information for the upcoming ‘H2’. First we will hopefully be seeing Sid Haig and Bill Mosely reprising their roles in ‘H2’ at some point with the addition of this image:
There isnt very much info out there on the Uncle Seymour Coffins character but he will fit into ‘H2’ somehow. Here is a flyer for a party that Uncle Coffins is hosting called Phantom Jam happening on October 31st:
I love it when one piece of new information unfolds a whole slew of new stuff. Â So it goes with the new ‘H2’ still Rob Zombie posted on his Myspace page. Â The latest pic is this one right here:
That is evidently the silhouette of one Michael Myers as he stalks the streets of Haddonfield searching for his sister, Laurie Strode. Â Not sure if he is carrying the mask in his hand or if he’s wearing a heavy coat, but it does look like he’s got more on than just the mechanic’s overalls.
Anyway, also looking on his Myspace, I came across these other stills and information from the film. Â Continue reading A Number of Updates and Photos on ‘H2’
Not that the news from the set of ‘H2’ could get any more strange, this is coming from left field. Apparently Weird Al Yankovic will have a cameo in the movie as a guest on a talk show that is on before Dr Loomis who is on promoting his book.
I really dont know about this..at all. I want to be behind everything Zombie does, but I am starting to question some of the stuff i am seeing and hearing about it. What do you guys think about this cameo?
Week 1 of filming is done on Rob Zombie’s ‘Halloween’ follow-up, tentatively titled ‘H2’. Still not sold on that title, but that’s not the weirdest thing about this film.
Check out these set pics courtesy of Shock Till You Drop:
That first pic really has me scratching my bald head. Is that Tyler Mane in white-face and a Grizzly Adams-esque beard? Not too sure what Zombie is going for with this look. Hopefully this really doesn’t have much to do with the actual film, and we’re reading too much into the picture.
In other weird news, actor Daeg Faerch, who played the young Michael Myers in Zombie’s ‘Halloween’ has stated on his blog that he will not be in the film. Note, young Michael Myers will be in the film, it just won’t be played by Faerch.
“Although I was contracted to reprise the role of young Michael Myers in the upcoming H2 after filming briefly on the set in GA, I am to be recast due to my increased height.”
‘Halloween’ wasn’t the best redux of the franchise that could have been made, but this sequel is just getting weirder and weirder. We’ll have to wait and see if Zombie can pull this one out.

As promised on his Myspace page, Rob Zombie has released the first production photo from his sequel to ‘Halloween’ tentatively titled ‘H2’.
Check it out:
Apparently, what we are looking at is Scout Taylor-Compton’s Laurie Strode on he operating table mere minutes after her horrifying encounter with Michael Myers at the end of ‘Halloween’.
As Zombie notes on his blog: “Well, we made it through the first three days. Everything is going great. This film is going to blow away my last trip to Haddonfield. Ultra gritty, ultra intense and very real. Here is a sneak peek of Laurie moments after being wheeled in to the ER.”
‘H2’ looks to slash its way into theaters on August 28th.

Just a quick note here. Apparently there have been rumors going around that Malcolm McDowell would not be returning to reprise his role of Dr. Sam Loomis in ‘H2’. Rob Zombie slapped those rumors down on his Myspace page.
Rumors have it that Malcolm will not be returning as Dr. Loomis. Well, as usual the rumors are wrong. Malcolm McDowell will be back and ready to deal with big Mike.
So there! ‘H2’ comes out on August 28th.
