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. It

its era. At the helm is artist/Rock star/film director
Rob Zombie – truly one of the most passionate and

Fright were able to tear Zombie away from his busy
schedule to chat about his take on the terror
masterpiece due in theaters nationwide August 31.
