The Story Behind Rob Zombie's Halloween

From remake outrage to sequel time...

Jun 2nd 2009 By James White

8. Less Mask time?

Most controversially, Makeup artist Wayne Toth announced that the new film would “throw Myers fans for a loop” by having their favourite slasher walk around mask-free (or with a torn visage revealing more of his face) for more than 70% of the film.

Cue outrage.

Shots of Tyler Mane walking around looking more like a mountain man survivalist than Michael Myers seemed to confirm it, but Zombie has tried set the record straight.

“It is total bullshit. See, I think Wayne Toth said 70% mask-less when people were down on the set. Wayne wasn’t bullshitting you, but that was taken out of context, and to an extreme online.

“We’ve filmed so much stuff and at this point nobody but me knows what we’re going to use or not use. There are more shots of Michael Myers running around in his mask in this movie than in any of the other movies. I don’t think anybody has to worry. Yeah. Michael Myers never looked so good.”

  hated the first one. trying to show how horrible his childhood was, even tho he had a very loving mother. and having the story shown through michael's eyes was stupid. how can you have tension and scares when you see the killer's every movement; you see him walk up to the house. rob zombie is one of the worst directors even
