Working from Carpenter's advice to "make [the film] his own", Zombie chose to develop the film as both a prequel and a remake, allowing for more original content than simply refilming the same scenes. Despite mostly negative reviews, the film, which cost $15 million to make, went on to gross $80,208,039 worldwide, making it the highest grossing film in the ''Halloween'' franchise in unadjusted U.S. dollars.
Michael initially cooperates with Dr. Loomis, claiming no memory of the killings; his mother, Deborah (Sheri Moon Zombie), visits him regularly. After a year, Michael becomes fixated on his papier-mâché masks, closing himself off from everyone, even his mother. When Michael kills a nurse (Sybil Danning) as Deborah is leaving from one of her visits, she can no longer handle the situation and commits suicide. For the next fifteen years, Michael (Tyler Mane) continues making his masks and not speaking to anyone. Dr. Loomis, having continued to treat Michael over the years, attempts to move on with his life and closes Michael’s case. Later, while being prepared for transfer to maximum security, Michael escapes Smith’s Grove, killing the sanitarium employees and a truck driver (Ken Foree) for his clothes, and heads to Haddonfield. On Halloween, Michael arrives at his old home, now abandoned, and recovers the kitchen knife and Halloween mask he stored under the floorboards the night he killed his sister.
The story shifts to Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton), and her friends Annie Brackett (Danielle Harris) and Lynda Van Der Klok (Kristina Klebe) on Halloween. Throughout the day, Laurie witnesses Michael watching her from a distance. That night, she heads to the Doyle residence to watch their son Tommy (Skyler Gisondo). Meanwhile, Lynda meets with her boyfriend Bob (Nick Mennell) at Michael's childhood home. Michael appears, murders them, and then heads to the Strode home, where he murders Laurie's parents, Mason (Pat Skipper) and Cynthia (Dee Wallace). Having been alerted to Michael's escape, Dr. Loomis comes to Haddonfield looking for Michael. After obtaining a handgun, Loomis attempts to warn Sheriff Brackett (Brad Dourif) that Michael has returned to Haddonfield. Brackett and Dr. Loomis head to the Strode home, with Brackett explaining along the way that Laurie is actually Michael Myers' baby sister.
Meanwhile, Annie convinces Laurie to babysit Lindsey Wallace (Jenny Gregg Stewart), a girl Annie is supposed to be watching, long enough so she can have sex with her boyfriend Paul (Max Van Ville). Annie and Paul return to the Wallace home; during sex, Michael kills Paul and attacks Annie. Bringing Lindsey home, Laurie finds Annie on the floor, bloodied but alive, and calls 911. She is attacked by Michael, who chases her back to the Doyle home. Sheriff Brackett and Loomis hear the 911 call and head to the Wallace residence. Michael kidnaps Laurie, and takes her back to his home. Michael approaches Laurie and tries to show her that she is his younger sister. Unable to understand, Laurie grabs Michael's knife and stabs him before escaping the house; Michael chases her, but is repeatedly shot by Dr. Loomis. Laurie and Loomis are just about to leave when Michael grabs Laurie and heads back to the house. Loomis intervenes, but Michael attacks him by squeezing Loomis's skull with his hands. Laurie takes Loomis's gun and runs upstairs; she is chased by Michael, who, after cornering her on a balcony, charges her head-on and knocks both of them over the railing. Laurie finds herself on top of a bleeding Michael. Aiming Loomis' gun at his face, she repeatedly pulls the trigger until the gun finally goes off just as Michael's hand grips Laurie's wrist.
Zombie's intention was to reinvent Michael Myers, because, in his opinion, the character, along with Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Pinhead, has become more familiar to audiences, and as a result, less scary. The idea behind the new film was to delve deeper into Michael Myers' back story. A deeper back story would add "new life" to the character, as Zombie put it. Michael's mask will be given its own story, to provide an explanation as to why he wears it, instead of having the character simply steal a random mask from a hardware store, as in the original film. Zombie explained that he wanted Michael to be true to what a psychopath really is, and wanted the mask to be a way for Michael to hide. He wants the young Michael to have charisma, which would be projected onto the adult Michael. Zombie has decided that Michael's motives for returning to Haddonfield should be more ambiguous. As Zombie explains, "was he trying to kill Laurie, or just find her because he loves her?"
Moreover, Michael would not be able to drive in the new film, unlike his 1978 counterpart who stole Loomis' car so that he could drive back to Haddonfield. Zombie also wants the Dr. Loomis character to be more intertwined with that of Michael Myers; Zombie said that the character's role in the original was "showing up merely to say something dramatic". Although Zombie has added more history to the Michael Myers character, hence creating more original content for the film, he chose to keep the character's trademark mask and Carpenter's theme song intact for his version (despite an apparent misinterpretation in an interview suggesting the theme would be ditched). Production officially began on January 29, 2007. Shortly before production began, Zombie reported that he had seen the first production of Michael's signature mask. Zombie commented, "It looks perfect, exactly like the original. Not since 1978 has The Shape looked so good". Filming occurred in the same neighborhood that Carpenter used for the original ''Halloween''.
Following its first Friday after its opening weekend, ''Halloween'' saw a 71.6% drop in attendance, earning $3,093,679. The film, which earned the #1 spot at the box office in its opening weekend, earned only $9,513,770 in its second weekend—a 63.9% decrease—but still claimed the #2 spot at the box office just behind ''3:10 to Yuma''. The film continued to appear in the weekend top ten going into its third weekend, when it earned $4,867,522 to take sixth place. It was not until the film's fourth weekend that it fell out of the top ten and into twelfth place with $2,189,266. ''Halloween'' would fail to regain a top ten spot at the box office for the remainder of its theatrical run.
Thanks to its opening weekend of $30.5 million, the film broke the box-office record for the Labor Day weekend, surpassing the record set in 2005 by ''Transporter 2'' with $20.1 million. It still currently resides as the top Labor Day weekend grosser. ''Halloween'' was also the 8th highest grossing R-rated film of 2007, and finished out the year in 44th place for domestic box office gross. With its $58 million box office gross, ''Halloween'' is the second highest grossing film among the recent slasher remakes, which consist of ''When a Stranger Calls'' (2006) at $47.8 million, ''Prom Night'' (2008) at $43.8 million, ''My Bloody Valentine 3D'' (2009) with $51.4 million, and ''Friday the 13th'' (2009) leading the group with $60 million. ''Halloween'' is also ranked eleventh overall when comparing it to all of the horror remakes, as well as eighth place for all slasher films in general, in unadjusted dollars.
In addition to the film's North American box office, it opened alongside ''Michael Clayton'' and ''Mr. Woodcock'' in foreign markets on the weekend of September 29, 2007. ''Halloween'' led the trio with a total of $1.3 million in 372 theaters – ''Michael Clayton'' and ''Mr. Woodcock'' took in $1.2 million from 295 screens and $1 million from 238 screens, respectively. By November 1, 2007, ''Halloween'' had taken in an additional $7 million in foreign markets. Ultimately, the film would earn approximately $21,981,879 overseas. By the end of the film's theatrical run, the film had taken a worldwide total of $80,253,908. Comparing this film to the rest of the films in the ''Halloween'' film series, Zombie's remake is the highest grossing film in unadjusted US dollars. When adjusting for the 2009 inflation, Zombie's ''Halloween''—which adjusts to $60.4 million domestically—is fourth, behind Carpenter's ''Halloween'' at $166.9 million, ''Halloween H20'' at $73.8 million, and ''Halloween II'' at $66.7 million.
Peter Hartlaub, of the ''San Francisco Chronicle'', felt Zombie was successful in both "[putting] his own spin on ''Halloween'', while at the same time paying tribute to Carpenter's film"; he thought Zombie managed to make Michael Myers almost "sympathetic" as a child, but that the last third of the film felt more like a montage of scenes with ''Halloween'' slipping into "slasher-film logic". Nathan Lee of ''The Village Voice'' disagreed in part with Harlaub, feeling that ''Halloween'' may have placed too much emphasis on providing sympathy for Michael Myers, but that it succeeded in "[deepening] Carpenter's vision without rooting out its fear". The View London film critic Matthew Turner believed the first half of the film, which featured the prequel elements of Michael as a child, were better played than the remake elements of the second half. In short, Turner stated that performances from the cast were "superb", with Malcolm McDowell being perfectly cast as Dr. Loomis, but that the film lacked the scare value of Carpenter’s original. Jamie Russell from the BBC agreed that the first half of the film worked better than the last half; she stated that Zombie’s expanded backstory on Michael was "surprisingly effective"—also agreeing that McDowell was perfectly cast as Loomis—but that Zombie failed to deliver the "supernatural dread" that Carpenter created for Michael in his 1978 original.
''New York Daily News'' critic Jack Matthews believed the film lacked tension, and went more for cheap shocks—focusing more on enhancing the "imagery of violence"—than real attempts to scare the audience; he gave the film one and a half stars out of five. Dennis Harvey, from ''Variety'' magazine, echoed Matthew's opinion that the film failed to deliver on the suspense; he also felt that you could not tell one teenage character from the next, whereas in Carpenter's original each teenager had real personalities. In contrast, Rossiter Drake of ''The Examiner'' applauded Michael's backstory, feeling that it was a "compelling take on the mythology" that managed to be "unique" and "shocking" at the same time. In agreement with other critics, ''Empire'' magazine's Kim Newman felt that, because Zombie seemed less focused on the teenagers being stalked and killed by Michael, the film "[fell] flat" when it came to delivering suspense or anything "remotely scary"; Newman did praise McDowell for his portrayal of the "dogged psychiatrist". Ben Walter, of ''Time Out London'', felt Zombie added "surprising realism" to the development of Michael Myers’ psychopathic actions, but agreed with Newman that the director replaced the original film’s "suspense and playfulness" with a convincing display of "black-blooded brutality".
Frank Scheck, of the ''Hollywood Reporter'', believed that even though Zombie's remake of Carpenter's ''Halloween'' was better than getting another sequel in the long running franchise it still was not comparable to the 1978 original. For Scheck, Zombie replaced Carpenter's building suspense, which made it so "brilliant", with graphic violence and extended scenes of nudity; he also criticized McDowell for lacking the intensity that Donald Pleasence brought to the Loomis character. By contrast, TV Guide's Ken Fox felt that Zombie did deliver a "scary horror movie", not by copying Carpenter, but by making the film his own. Fox noted that Zombie seemed to follow more in the footsteps of Wes Craven and Tobe Hooper's "savage, greasy-haired '70s" films, which allowed him to bring Michael back to his roots and successfully terrify an audience which has grown accustomed to the recent "torture porn" horror films. Bill Gibron, of PopMatters, believes that audiences and critics cannot compare Carpenter's film to Zombie's remake; where Carpenter focused more on the citizens of Haddonfield—with Michael acting as a true "boogeyman"—Zombie focuses more on Michael himself, successfully forcing the audience to experience all of the elements that Michael went through that would result in his "desire for death".
''Halloween'' won the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Award for Best Film of 2007, drawing in 550 votes, the most ever in the history of the award. The film also won the 'Best Remake Award' at the 2008 Spike TV Scream Awards. Dan Mathews, vice president of PETA, sent Rob Zombie a thank-you letter for what he perceived as Zombie sending a message to audiences when he depicted the young Michael Myers torturing animals, something he felt demonstrated that people who commit acts of cruelty to animals are likely to move on to humans. Mathews went on to say, "Hopefully, with the attention focused by your movie on the link between cruelty to animals and human violence, more people will recognize the warning signs among people they know and deal with them more forcefully. We wish you continued success!"
On December 18, 2007, the film was released on DVD in the United States; both the theatrical (109 minutes) and an unrated director's cut (121 minutes) were released as two-disc special editions containing identical bonus features. The film was released on DVD in the UK on April 28, 2008, known as the "Uncut" edition. On October 7, 2008, a three-disc set was released. This Collector's Edition of ''Halloween'' features the same bonus features as the previous unrated edition, but includes Rob Zombie's four-and-a-half hour "making-of" documentary similar to the "30 Days in Hell" documentary for Zombie's ''The Devil's Rejects''.

Rob Zombie (born Robert Bartleh Cummings; January 12, 1965) is an American musician, film director, screenwriter and film producer. He founded the heavy metal band White Zombie and has been nominated three times as a solo artist for the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
Zombie has also established a successful career as a film director, creating the movies ''House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects'', the 2007 remake of ''Halloween'', its sequel, and ''The Haunted World of El Superbeasto''. His next film will be the upcoming ''The Lords of Salem'' which is scheduled to premiere in theaters sometime in 2012.
In 1997, Zombie contributed a song entitled "The Great American Nightmare" for the Howard Stern movie, ''Private Parts''. Since January 6, 1999, it has been the opening theme for Stern's radio show.
Zombie toured extensively to promote the album, then released ''American Made Music to Strip By'' in 1999, an album of remixes from ''Hellbilly Deluxe''.
In 2003, Zombie released his first greatest hits album ''Past, Present & Future'', containing hit songs both from his solo band and White Zombie. It also featured covers (The Commodores' "Brick House" and The Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop") and unreleased songs ("Two-Lane Blacktop" and "Girl on Fire").
After a 2002–2003 world tour, Mike Riggs and John Tempesta left Zombie to form a similar band, Scum of the Earth. This put plans for another tour or new album on hold. Instead, between 2003 and 2005, Zombie directed and released two horror films, ''House of 1000 Corpses'' and ''The Devil's Rejects''.
''20th Century Masters: Millennium Collection: The Best of Rob Zombie'' was also released in 2006 by his label, Geffen Records. It contains songs similar to his first greatest hits album, but there are also songs on this release from ''Educated Horses''.
On May 31, 2006, Zombie was joined onstage by guitarist Slash (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver), Gilby Clarke (formerly of Guns N' Roses) on rhythm guitar, Scott Ian of Anthrax on bass, Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe on drums and special guest Ace Frehley of Kiss also on lead guitar. The occasion was a one-time supergroup tribute to Kiss for the first annual VH1 Rock Honors award show. They played one song, "God of Thunder," before handing it off to the honoree. Zombie then went on tour with Ozzy Osbourne.
Blasko, Zombie's bass player, left the band shortly before the American Witch Tour (the second leg of the tour to promote ''Educated Horses''), to play bass with Ozzy Osbourne. To fill in, Zombie hired Piggy D. of Amen and Wednesday 13 fame as a permanent replacement.
In 2007 Zombie released ''Zombie Live'', which was supposed to be accompanied by a live DVD and picture booklet. So far, only the CD has surfaced.
Rob Zombie appeared on ''The Howard Stern Show'' on August 18, 2009, saying the new album was complete, although he had not yet set a title, and was scheduled for release on November 10. That release date would later move to November 17, according to his MySpace blog. Eventually, the release date would be pushed back to February 2010.
On October 3, Zombie posted a link to preview the track "Sick Bubblegum" on his Twitter page. The first single "What?" was released on October 13. Zombie released the next new song, "Burn" for Rock Band, as well as two old tracks, "Dragula" and "Superbeast" on October 27. They are available via Xbox Live and PlayStation Network as well as the Rock Band online store.
On October 29, 2009, Zombie began the Hellbilly Deluxe 2 World Tour in support of his album ''Hellbilly Deluxe 2: Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls and the Systematic Dehumanization of Cool'', despite the fact it was not to be released until over three months later.
Zombie has commented that ''Hellbilly Deluxe 2'' may be his last physical record release due to the growing popularity of iTunes and other methods of music downloading, but stated he will continue to make music. ''Hellbilly Deluxe 2'' was set to be his last album released through Geffen Records, but in late October, Zombie announced that he had signed to Roadrunner Records and will instead be releasing ''Hellbilly Deluxe 2'' under that label in early 2010.
On January 22, he announced that he would be touring with Alice Cooper for the "Gruesome Twosome" tour.
Tommy Clufetos recently left the band to perform with Ozzy Osbourne on drums. He replaced drummer Mike Bordin who is on tour with his current band Faith No More. Joey Jordison has since replaced Clufetos and was announced to be drumming with Zombie for his upcoming summer tour dates. Rob Zombie was bothered that Clufetos was the second member to leave his solo band and join Osbourne after bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson left in 2006. Zombie commented, "If my guys that I have wanna go play with other people, that's fine; I don't own them. But I think there's ways to do things in a respectful way and there's ways to just be shitty, and I feel that the way things have gone down lately has been pretty shitty."
Rob Zombie performed at Edgefest in Little Rock, Arkansas as the co-headliner along with Godsmack on May 8, 2010. He also played on the main stage on the second day of the Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio on May 23. It was widely reported that much of the crowd left after his performance, despite the fact that Limp Bizkit was still scheduled to take the stage.
Rob Zombie finished recording four new songs in July 2010 with John 5, Piggy D, and Joey Jordison. The new music, expected to be released in September 2010, was described by Zombie as "some of the fastest and heaviest tracks we have recorded in a long, long time." Former White Zombie member, and drummer for Rob Zombie's first two studio albums, John Tempesta was rumored to have recorded at least one song titled "Loving the Freaks" for this release. While Rob Zombie did confirm that this collaboration was planned, his schedule was too busy and these recording sessions never took place. Working with Tempesta again in the future was not ruled out. These newly recorded tracks were incorporated into a special edition reissue of ''Hellbilly Deluxe 2'' which was released on September 28, 2010.
For the first time in 12 years, Zombie will return to the United Kingdom to play a string of six dates in support of ''Hellbilly Deluxe 2''.
On March 4, 2011, Rob Zombie said that he would record a CD after he completes his upcoming film ''The Lords of Salem''.
Rob Zombie will embark on a North American tour with Slayer and Exodus called "Hell on Earth" tour starting July 20 and ending on August 6.
On April 22, 2011 on Zombie's official Twitter account, it was announced that his new drummer is ex-Marilyn Manson drummer and former John 5 bandmate, Ginger Fish.
Zombie supplied the vocals for Drowning Pool's song "Man Without Fear" for the soundtrack to the 2003 film ''Daredevil''.
Zombie is featured as a backing vocalist on "Floyd" from Lynyrd Skynyrd's 2009 album ''God & Guns''.
On May 23, 2010 Zombie's new comic book series about a fictitious horror host, ''Whatever Happened To Baron Von Shock?'', began. The first print sold out in less than a week.
On March 14, 2011, praising him for inventing the rock show, glam rock, and punk rock, Zombie inducted Alice Cooper into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The ''House of 1000 Corpses''' sequel, ''The Devil's Rejects'', which Zombie also wrote and directed, showcased a much different style. Whereas ''House'' aimed at being more gory and bizarre, ''Rejects'' was darkly comedic and gritty. Released in 2005, ''Rejects'' had the Firefly Family on the run from the law and a particularly vengeful sheriff whose brother had been murdered by them in the first film. It had a better critical reception than ''Corpses''. Zombie contributed to the 2007 exploitation film ''Grindhouse'', by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino by directing a faux trailer, called ''Werewolf Women of the S.S.'', starring his wife, exploitation veterans Udo Kier and Sybil Danning, and Nicolas Cage, who appeared free for fun.
Zombie next wrote and directed ''Halloween'', a reimagining of the 1978 classic that was released August 31, 2007. Although it was a success and opened at number #1 at the box office with $26 million, it registered only 26% at Rotten Tomatoes. It would go on to gross over $78 million, his biggest hit yet and the highest grossing ''Halloween'' film of all time.
Zombie is the executive producer of the animated film ''The Haunted World of El Superbeasto'', based upon his comic book series, ''The Adventures of El Superbeasto'' (which appeared in his ''Spookshow International'' comic book). The film was released directly to DVD on September 22, 2009. It features the voices of Tom Papa, Paul Giamatti, Zombie's wife Sheri Moon, and Rosario Dawson.
Zombie directed a sequel to ''Halloween'' entitled ''Halloween II'', which was released on August 28, 2009. Filming began on February 23, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia with Tyler Mane returning as Michael Myers. Zombie will next be directing a new movie for Dimension Films known as ''Rob Zombie's Tyrannosaurus Rex''. In an interview at Comic Con 2009 with his younger brother Spider One of Powerman 5000, Zombie stated that his album would be released in October, followed by a tour.
''Variety'' Magazine announced the weekend before the release of ''Halloween II'' that Zombie will be directing a remake of the 1950s/1980s films ''The Blob''. Zombie will also create a new comic called "Whatever Happened to Baron Von Shock?", which will be released by Image Comics in late 2010.
On October 3, 2009 received the Filmmaker of the Year title of the Chiller-Eyegore Awards.
In December 2009 he announced an interest to direct an episode of ''CSI''. On January 13, 2010, Associated Press reported that Rob Zombie's ''CSI: Miami'' episode will air March 1. He shot the part of the series with the full cast of the series and casted for minor roles Michael Madsen, Malcolm McDowell, William Forsythe, ZZ Top's leader Billy Gibbons and his wife, Sheri Moon Zombie.

On September 22, 2010, it was announced that Rob Zombie's next film project would be entitled ''The Lords of Salem''.
On February 21, 2011, he announced in an interview that he will start filming ''Tyrannosaurus Rex'' after he finishes ''Lords of Salem''. The remake of ''The Blob'' will no longer be directed by Zombie.
Rumors circulated that Zombie would direct ''The Dirt'', a movie about Mötley Crüe. However, on his Twitter page on March 4, 2011, Zombie explained that he will not be directing ''The Dirt''. Instead, he said, "I am not. I am directing ''The Lords of Salem''. Recording a CD after that."
''Tyrannosaurus Rex'' is not a dead project, he explained in an interview: "It’ll happen eventually. I don’t have a deal for it, but that was supposed to be my movie I did after ''Halloween'' and then it never happened. For some reason in the last six months or so, everybody seems incredibly interested in it again. So the goal is to make that the next movie after ''The Lords of Salem''. I don’t know if it will be, because it’s such a weird business. But ''Tyrannosaurus Rex'' has always been my pet project that I’ve always wanted to make. It’s the movie I’ve been dying to make forever."
Zombie also made a few guest appearances in movies, including ''Airheads'' (with White Zombie on stage playing "Feed the Gods") and the voice of Dr. Karl (on the phone) in the movie ''Slither''. He did a few voiceovers for cartoons such as the voice of Ichthultu, a creature from an alternate universe in ''Justice League Unlimited'' and Dr. Curt Connors ("The Lizard") in ''Spider-Man: The New Animated Series''. Rob Zombie appeared as the guest host for the June 28th edition of ''WWE Monday Night RAW''.
