H2 dir. cut done.

As you may have heard, Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN II is coming back to theaters (apparently over 1000 screens, which is significant) this upcoming weekend to try and cash in on the holiday, as well as to simply add a little more change to its somewhat disappointing original haul ($32 million domestically - not terrible, but well short of the first HALLOWEEN's $58 million two years ago). While this will be the same version that was released in August, we can eventually expect a different version when the flick is released on DVD next year.

Zombie tweeted (ugh) earlier today the following: Halloween 2 director's cut is finally done. Very different than the theatrical version. But how different will it be exactly? A few months ago, Icons of Fright spoke with Rob about what would potentially be different in the director's cut. Here's a snippet:

"The way we cut it for the theatrical, Laurie Strode’s character is the main difference in the two. (In the theatrical) She’s holding it together, getting her life together and it starts spiraling downward. In the other version, she’s an incredible mess and gets worse. She never has any good moments, she’s just messed up, she’s lashing out at everyone, she’s horrible. Messed up on drugs, she’s just completely spun out through the whole movie."

For more from Zombie about the changes, head on over to ICONS. Plus, you can check out a chat our own JimmyO had with Rob at Comic-Con below, where Rob talks about his original vision for the first film!
