Shock rocker and writer/director Rob Zombie has had to debunk lots of rumors thus far about his HALLOWEEN remake/prequel via his The Official Rob Zombie Halloween Page. No big surprise, it comes with the territory of remaking a mucho loved (by uber passionate fans) horror classic.
So here's what he had to say about another rumor going around right now: him not using Carpenter's Halloween theme in his own rendition of Michael Myer's humble beginnings:
"Just curious why is everybody crying about the theme music suddenly? I never said I wasn't using it. You all have to stop freaking out about every bullshit story you read. Now I get it, MTV misunderstood what I was saying about the music. Oh well, I am still shooting and haven't even begun to explore the music side of things yet. I always planned on using the original theme since the beginning."
You've been Zombie-ed!
Whether it's the classic or a revamped version...
But if he chooses to not go with the theme, I'll still be fine with that, because this is Zombie's movie, it's his remake, John Carpenter gave him permission to make it his own. And he is. And I look forward to it.
