Up Close with Halloween Director Rob Zombie

Closing out Hollywood’s run of blockbusters this season is the remake of what many consider to be, outside of Psycho purists, the greatest horror movie ever made, John Carpenter’s Halloween.

At the helm is artist/Rock star/film director Rob Zombie – truly one of the most passionate and genuinely likable guys in the entertainment business.
