Though he never seemed to be part of the nerd crowd, Rob Zombie still stopped by the San Diego Comic-Con '09 this past weekend to talk to Chris Hardwick about writing, directing and producing Halloween II. So why is our Web Soup host so excited to see Rob Zombie?
Chris Hardwick actually appears in Halloween II alongside Weird Al Yankovic so watch as Mr. Zombie talks about putting the film together, his favorite style of shooting and his upcoming tour.

Damn Chris! I'm jealous! I've been listeining to Rob's music since 1995, he's one of my idols! I liked the interview.

I have been listening to Rob's music since the early 90's when I got the 1st tape of White Zombie when I went to Cal for a vacation. I have been a loyal fan since, Seen him in concert in 03 at a club in Jacksonville fl, I love Everything that he has done and I can't wait for Halloween 2.

@Xero_Wing
I thought that was odd as well.
I actually had no idea that Spider had anything to do with movies, so when that interview started, I was like "I think they accidentally got the wrong brother".

I really don't want to dump on either guy but the first Halloween went soo wrong. If it was called anything else it could have been pretty decent but the original just blows this away. Love House of Corpses, love Devils Rejects but I just couldn't pretend to like what he did with Halloween. I really think Rob needs to try getting away from all the trailer park garble for once.
This 2nd movie actually looks better but I guess we'll see. The scene where he is lifting the car is pretty sweet, he looks gigantic.

Both Chris and Rob's best work was House of 1000 Corpses.

I'm not a big fan of his solo music but White Zombie was great and his movies have always been good stuff.

I have to say based off that photo that you are a major cutie.

RE: Rob Zombie s Halloween 2
We, the undersigned, ask that Robert Bartleh Cummings (A.K.A. Rob Zombie), director of Weinstein Company/ Dimension Films upcoming motion picture H2: Halloween 2 reconsider the decision to take the sequel of the re-visioning of Halloween and The Halloween Franchise in the direction in which it has been directed.
We feel that Rob Zombie s 2007 Re-visioning of Halloween took the film and franchise in a wrong but still salvageable direction. From the information provided by Robert Cummings on the sequel to that motion picture and the trailer released to the internet on youtube.com and movies.yahoo.com. It is clear that he is taking the Halloween franchise further down the spiral from which many fans feel there will be no return.
We feel that from the scenes of the trailer and information provided the film looks to be a mimic of a few combined horror motion pictures. We also feel that his casting of Sheri Lyn Skurkis (A.K.A. Sheri Moon Zombie) is not based on acting ability or merit, but due only to the fact he must cast his spouse in every motion picture he directs. Sheri Moon should be omitted from the cast and those scenes be corrected.
Another major concern for us fans is that it has been reported by Robert Cummings, other cast and news that Michael Myers will not be wearing the classic William Shatner based mask or any altered or re-envisioned concept of that mask for 70% of the feature motion picture.
We the fans ask that Mr. Cummings re-write and re-shoot the film with the deletion of the mentioned scenes and/or plot. We feel that Michael Myers is 100% evil without cause and should be left at that conclusion. If the film is released as it now stands it will without a doubt destroy the entire franchise and become a mockery of what Debra Hill, John Carpenter, Moustapha Akkad, Tommy Lee Wallace and so many others have immortalized in horror motion picture history.
Sincerely,
Halloween Fans

That petition is a joke. I wonder if whoever created it watched any of the last 6 Halloween's that were made before Zombie got his hands on the property. I find it interesting that he is taking the character away from the norm of what has become mundane with the Michael Myers character and at least someone is trying to do something interesting with the horror movies. It might be a swing and a miss, but its better than nothing or just a complete waste of time like the latest Friday the 13th.
