Halloween PG-13?

Last Updated on July 27, 2021

Wow, if this is true could it suck anymore? Rumor
has it that Rob Zombie’s re-envisioning of HALLOWEEN may be rated PG-13.
PG-13; What the f**k!

This rumor has been floating around

FEARnet.com where the word is that Dimension
Films and the Weinstein Company are trying to have HALLOWEEN re-cut to
fit into a PG-13 market.

There seems to be a notion that because films
like
HOSTEL: PART 2 and

GRINDHOUSE did so poor at the box office, these companies are
thinking twice about releasing another R rated into the market. Which I
personally believe is utter bull-sh*t!

I understand the fact that when films have a
PG-13 rating you have the possibility of having a larger clientele basis, but
when you re-cut a film that was meant to carry nothing lower than an R rating,
you end up with a piece of crap that no one wants to watch, no matter what age.

With all that in mind, further rumor has spread
and apparently Ryan over at

Shock till you Drop spoke with Zombie today via
email and Zombie said “I don’t watch PG-13 films let alone
make them.”

Truthfully I don’t know what to make of this
whole situation. I remember Zombie having problems with

HOUSE OF A 1000 CORPSES
because of the same kind of thing. The production company wanted a “lighter
cut”. I mean I know it’s Rob’s film, but in the end who really has the say?
It’ll be interesting to see how this does pan out.    

Hey Johnny Cash, what do you think of a Halloween that’s rated PG-13?
