In case you are wondering, NO, you aren’t reading a title with a twist. It would appear that Rob Zombie is actually done with the Halloween franchise after his latest attempt, Halloween 2, hits theaters August 28, 2009.
In the quick video interview below with MTV, Zombie was asked if he would ever consider doing Halloween 3. Before the interviewer could even get the sentence out Zombie responded:
“No. I could not see that in any shape, way or form. Never!”
When asked why he stated:
“If I told you [why], you wouldn’t believe me.”
Well guess that settles that then. No more questions Rob, have a good day thanks for stopping by. All your extremely loyal fans should be very pleased and satisfied with that answer. WHAT?!? Come on Rob, seriously. This is the Comic Con, sci-fi, horror, action crowd you are talking to. If we can believe that a man can fly, that Nixon is still President in 1985, or Shia LaBeouf would be dating Megan Fox with a giant alien robot car in his garage then I’m pretty sure we can accept whatever reason you have for not doing another masterpiece of modern day horror.
The last time I talked about Halloween 2, I was probably a bit overzealous in my opinion of Zombie, his filmmaking styles and his approach to the movie. Still though, I have to give the guy credit for building a rather large fan base on just a handful of movies. He at least seemed gung-ho and confident in his abilities as a director and was certain he would bring something to the table that hadn’t been done before in both the horror genre and the Halloween franchise.
Now, he seems content to just brush off an obvious question about the future of, what is really, his horror legacy with a flippant answer. I’d say it was almost rude, but who knows what might have happened behiind the scenes that he may not be able (or want) to talk about.
It’s too bad really; I was actually looking forward to him directing a segment in the upcoming Heavy Metal film. Now with his amateurish response to a legitimate question, I have to wonder if he was even the right man to remake Halloween in the first place?
The way he answers the question is sort of telling. I have no information to back this up but my guess the reason he will “never” do a Halloween 3 was due to a creative control or editing conflict between him and the studios execs at Dimension Films backing Halloween 2.
He did, however, verify that “Weird Al” is in the film and said:
“I would get Weird Al back before I did ‘Halloween 3.’ Weird Al is awesome.”
You get kudos for putting him in there to begin with Mr. Zombie. I know it’s the last thing anyone reading this would expect from me but I hope Rob Zombie changes his mind and decides to make a Halloween 3. The movie industry is all about trying over and over again until you get it right. Uwe Bolle keeps trying so why not Rob Zombie?
So are you willing to accept Zombie’s answer for not making a third installment of Halloween and would you have liked to see a third Halloween movie?
Halloween 2 gets unmasked August 28th, 2009.

I was hoping Rob Zombie will be back cause I'd love to see how much worse this series gets.
u aint right halloween 3 could be about michael myers this time?????????????????????????????????
I agree with you. H3 wasnt even about Michael. So i hope Zombie means that he will skip over it and go straight to 4. As for the first 2 that Zombie did I enjoyed the first one very much. As for the second one I wasn't very pleased with. i was shocked when i heard that Rob Zombie was leaving Halloween. I think overall he was an ok director
ROB ZOMBIE YOU HAFE TO MAKE THE MOVIE YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN MAKE HALLOWEEN THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE THAT YOU REALLY DON’T WANT TO MAKE IT THATS FINE BUT I WILL NOT LIKE IT THE SAME AS I DID I LIKE YOURE MOVIES AND I ALWAYS WILL I THINK EVERYONE WILL AGREE WITH ME PLEASE MAKE HALOWEEN 3 PLEASE???
Wtf is wrong with you people? Obviously you have no taste in movies. Just want mindless killing with no story. I believe Zombies re-imaginings were amazing. They gave you a look inside Myers mind and thought process and makes you connect more with him. Maybe if you used that thing in your head called a brain you could understand and appreciate what hes done with the series.
Rob Zombie You are a good actor Please be in the 3rd Halloween movie it wont be the same with out you at all
Rob Zombie turned Dr. Loomis into a money hungry wimp without no personality or class (sorry malcolm), turned Sheriff Brackett into a dirty pedophile-looking hick, and worst of all turned evil personified Michael Myers into a whiney brat (1st) and then a bearded hick retard (2nd). Thank God Zombie isn't doing this film. I cannot stomach another showing of these great characters portrayed as trailor park trash.
you dont need to be putting down his characters he made them the way that he wanted them. they all were great in all of his movies. i love Rob Zombie and all of his movies. so dont trash his movies.
Give me a break his remake of halloween sucked balls. Plus if he wanted to distance the movie from the originals he should not have put any of the original cast members in his movies. The character and representation of Lumis plain sucked, sucked, and sucked more. Zombie needs to stick to his one beat music and gtfo of directing anything as sacred as Michael Meyers. What a tool.
@ Rob guess you don’t know what a real serial killer is like or what their childhood is like. Rob Zombie did this in Halloween we got to look into the childhood that created Michael Myers. Serial Killers and psycho paths are not born they are made. Any psychiatrist treating someone like Michael myers would write a book F.B.I. profilers write books does that make them money hunger wimps? No it doesn’t they write them to educate the public about what real evil is like and that real evil does exist. The part you said about Sheriff Bracket only you got that vibe.
I disagree, not all psychopaths or mass murderers had f’ed up childhoods or lives. I also dare you to find someone who couldn’t blame actions on a event from the past. This allows the person who’s done something stupid to try to gain sympathy from the person they done something stupid to. It’s a dumb cop out to blame events from the past to try to establish sympathy for someone who’s evil, and Michael Myers suffers from having this backstory.
I do think he should make a Halloween 3 because at the end of Halloween 2 it made it look like that Laurie was going to be the killer and that just left us thinking. So ya i think he should make a Halloween 3 or at least somebody else do it and have Jamie be in it.
it would be great if there was going to be a halloween 3 cause i am a massive fan can only live in hope
it would be great if there was going to be a halloween 3 cause i am a massive fan can only live in hope
Yeah i liked the movie to!! =)
But when you sayd “Just want mindless killing with no story” well thats kinda all michael dose…and thats what all the movies are baced around. But dont get me wrong, i love this movie!!
Ohh and can anyone awnser this; Dose michael myers die at the end of this movie!??!?!
ya'll are dumbasses halloween remake and halloween 2 are beast man the second is kinnda better because it looks realistic
there isnt even gonna be one because michael died and loomis did and rob zombie just had to do that because he wanted the movie to end for good but they should make one with at the end of resurrection
rob, dont be an egg!!!
you got back the gore films everybody has craved, and added your visionary twisted layers that are you to it.
H2 was awesome….
do the next one…you are one of the most exciting writer/directors of this genre.
kudos!!!!!!!!!
hey jus to ease everyones questions rob will not be coming back. halloween3 would be kick ass i want to see laurie( scout compton) kick micheals ass in this one. i think tom or tim atkins who will be playing a doctor for laurie at the mental institution will end up like dr loomis that will be fun.
I was really really hoping he would make another one. Something like Angel being the new killer with a little Rob Zombie twist…Im very bummed to hear theres not going to be another one. None the less the two that he did make were amazing!!
Thank you. you seem to be the only person that remembers that michael died in two.
I thought the movie, 1 and 2, were pretty good. Definitely thought he did justice to the franchise. And, honestly, Rob Zombie has made it very clear from the start he his a huge horror movie fan. Like any horror movie fan knows, the trilogy always blows….hard. Maybe it’s along those lines and he thinks it sounds crazy or cocky. So far, all his movies have only come in pairs.
There is no way Rob Zombie should be allowed to make another halloween movie. There is more to making a good movie than putting in swearing, screaming, and nudity, and sex scenes. Im sure we can all understand he likes having his wife in the movies to get her out in the public eye… but come on. she cant act. As patrons of the theaters. we demand the halloween series be respected for the class it was. thriller, on the edge of your seat movie. Moustapha akkad must be rolling in his grave over the destruction of his movies. Keep Zombie out!!!!!!!!
Didn’t like zombie’s first Halloween that much, loved H2. I think he’s dismissive of an H3 because like Carpenter he killed MM in part 2. More to the point the stuff that is Rob Zombie rather than the Halloween franchise caught the most flak. Also the remake treadmill is eating up good directors to the point that they only get backing for more remakes. He’s already doing the Blob. I’d like to see him do his own films or tackle an original script.
Ironically if they were to remake Halloween III: Season of the Witch, then RZ would be a near perfect match.
WTF rob betta make a halloween 3
Mike died in 2. Super died…Its really hard to buy that there are that many idiots out there screaming for a third one. Why cant you just let people create something that dose not run on for 9 retarded sequels. Halloween three is probably the worst idea Ive heard since the plot for one with paul rudd in it.
Halloween died a long time ago. Zombie just put another nail in the coffin. It all sucked.
I saw on a website that there will be an Halloween 3 coming out in 2012 can anyone explain that i hope that wasnt a lie cause me and my mom are totaly sycked please respond to me please if you have an anwser thank you
i think that if he didn’t want to make it, it’s obviously for personal reasons. if he was being rude so what. i mean he made probably the best remake(s) of any horror film ever. there wasn’t too much cliche stuff and definitely had me jump one definitive time. and as a huge horror flick fan as well as horror novels that’s pretty good on his part. sure i’m disappointed that he probably won’t make another halloween movie, but if anyone does make another one after him i’m sure it’s going to be horrible and everyone will tell him that. crazy people are always the greatest artists and he definitely has a couple of those marbles in his shirt pocket
HEY ROB…..WHAT DO YOU NEED ALL YOUR FANS 2 SAY FOR YOU 2 MAKE ANOTHER HALLOWEEN…I MEAN EVERYONE IS SOOOO IN LOVE WITH YOUR SMARTS 2 COME UP WITH SOMETHING AMAZING LIKE THIS…..MUCH LOVE….DONT GIVE UP NOW JUST 1 MORE….OR MAYBE EVEN 2 HAHAHA!!!!!….IT WOULD EVEN BE COOL 4 A BATTLE BETWEEN JASON & MICHEAL….JUST LIKE FREDDY VS JASON…BUT WAAAAAAY BETTER WITH YOUR KNOWLEDGE BEING PART OF IT…..PLEASE….JUST MAKE ANOTHER HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!
I think they should be a halloween 3 what happen to angel myers
i think if you make a halloween 3 that you should continue where season of the witches left off. Where a lot of kids died from the snakes, insects, and spiders that came out of the silver shamrock masks. Killing half the world where kids being the majority of deaths. Making everyone think its the end of the world. Leaders trying to blame someone then have some kind of witches vs pegan/christian war. Maybe have some kind of demons on the witches side like in that nicohlas cage movie (season of the witch). Then where you could have that movie take off with your awesome darkness that you bring to your films. Now that would be cool
Just saw the directors cut and directors commentary in H2. H1>H2 definitely, but I still love them both. A 3rd is not possible he says Laurie is dead and that that last vision were her final thoughts.So idk how theyre pulling off a 3rd Halloween :/
Im not please that Rob Zombie isn’t making a part 3! If he didn’t want to remake all 5 why start? Why get us fans hyped to see these remakes if you wasn’t gonna finish what you started. Kudos to the 2 remakes but you should finish it off!
Rob said “never” to H2 as well. He also trashed the very idea of remakes for years before re-making Halloween. Dude’s a flake.
I enjoyed Rob’s Halloween, but I found H2 to be a trashy Devil’s Rejects take on Halloween and haven’t cared to re-watch, nor will I. I hope H3 doesn’t even happen.
Rob Zombie’s Halloweens blew. I hope he goes broke after making me waste my money on what he calls Halloween 2. It was so uninspired I seen it at a video store used for $5 and still thought it would be a waste of my money to buy. Rob Zombie just needs to die.
