Halloween..

From acclaimed musician and filmmaker, Rob Zombie ( The Devil's Rejects and House of 1000 Corpses ) comes an entirely new take, a re - imagining / prequel, on the highly successful and terrifying " Halloween " legacy that began in 1978..

In a small and quiet Illinois town called Haddonfield, lived a young boy, Michael Myers, and his family.. And if everyone in the Myers' house was quite odd, Michael was without any doubt the weirdest.. On Halloween night, 10 - years - old Michael savagely murdered his family : he stabbed his elder sister Judith and beated his mother's boyfriend to death with a bat.. He was eventually committed to a psychiatric hospital, only leaving behind him the only person he ever loved and care for : Laurie, his baby sister.. For years, Dr. Sam Loomis tried to cure him, realizing soon it was hopeless, that Michael was pure evil and nothing would change about it.. Seventeen years later, arrives another October.. Michael is now 27 years old, the former fair - haired kid became a huge man.. A 6'10 - tall killing machine who escapes and goes back home.. Back to Haddonfield.. Back to Laurie.. Now, all he needs for trick or treat with his baby sister is a sharp kitchen knife, a pair of mechanics' coveralls and an old white - faced mask.. And this time, Halloween can really begin..

" Halloween " will be making you jump and cringe in a theater near you from the 31st August 2007..
