Rob Zombie will never get any respect around here. We have brains.

His new version of Halloween will be fouling up theaters on August 31, and the word of mouth has been bad to terrible. I have no doubt the movie is well-filmed and top-notch in most of the technical aspects … well, except for direction and writing, which were positions Zombie mistakenly reserved for himself.

His first two flicks – Night of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects –  showed a man desperate to shock and titillate. While those two projects were moderately successful, Zombie has really touched a nerve by molesting the greatest horror film of the last thirty-five years. Sadly, it will make tons of money, further encouraging Zombie in his misguided efforts.

To piss people off even further, they have released a new trailer for the upcoming “re-imagining.” Take a look:

Yeah, I know … the trailer is pretty well cut together. That doesn’t mean the damn thing’s any good.
