Rob Zombie grew as a director in leaps and bounds from House Of 1000 Corpses to Devil's Rejects. While House made a lot of the audience members giggle both times I saw it (once in a day viewing, once at a midnight viewing), Rejects was no laughing matter - we had five walkouts in the early part of the motel scene and another four people left at the end of said scene...even I was affected by it. With that in mind, I'd say that Rob Zombie is a great choice for a director of a Halloween re-imagining. But only under two conditions:

1) Rob continues his growth as a director. If he reverts back to the director he was for House (all homage, no personal stamp), then this movie will be no better than what I imagine the new Omen will be and what the Psycho plaigarism was - an unnecessary piece of crap. If, however, he uses the best parts of the Halloween series (those being found in 1 and 2 ONLY!!!) plus his own style and vision, then this movie could be an amazing film and the next step in his development as THE horror director of our time.

2) Disney and Dimension fuck off and leave Rob alone. Disney often puts too much stock in their name/brand and has a tendency to stifle creativity in favor of their own reputation. And don't get me started on the sins that Dimeson has committed. If these two studios can't avoid getting their fingers in the pot, this movie will suck as bad as the last...well, every movie after 2. If Disney and Dimension can just let Rob do his thing, they'll be rewarded for their trust.
