" Sadly, movies like that don't really sell anymore," says Maury, "which is a damn shame. The film was to retain its "Carpenterness" that was a mainstay in all of the previous films, but it would have been more prominent than in Zombie's remake. Lee," says Maury, " before the Weinsteins canceled the film." Lee and the late Peter Cushing were the original two choices for the role back in 1978 before it went to the late Donald Pleasence. Loomis would have been played by Christopher Lee, rather than Malcolm McDowell. The plot was to revolve around Laurie Strode and her college friends, three years later, encountering Michael Myers once more as he slaughtered the entire campus before Dr. In 2008, after Rob Zombie repeatedly vowed never to return to the Halloween franchise after his wildly successful - and brilliant - 2007 remake, Bob and Harvey Weinstein hired Maury & Bastillo, the French directors of Inside, to helm the Myers sequel. Inside directors Maury (pictured) and Bastillo were originally chosen to helm Halloween II. He appears on a TV talk show with Weird Al Yankovic (himself). Loomis (Malcolm McDowell) is busy promoting his latest Myers tell-all, The Devil Walks Among Us. He sees visions of his younger self (Chase Wright Vanek, butchering the Daeg Faerch role), his mother Deborah (Stevie Nicks, replacing Sherri Moon Zombie), and a white horse. He has a mystical connection to Laurie, besides being her brother. Michael Myers ( Zakk Wylde, replacing Tyler Mane) is a homeless trailer trash Sith hobo whose mask is deteriorating. Cynthia (Dee Wallace) and Mason Strode (Pat Skipper) are dead (having been killed in the previous film), and so Laurie is adopted by Sheriff Brackett (Brad Dourif) and his daughter Annie (Danielle Harris).

It was a fan-repelling bomb - critics hated it, audiences hated it, fans hated it, and the film made no money at the box office. Zombie and the Weinsteins refused to let the film undergo massive reshoots when the test screenings failed, and it was released in theaters August 28, 2009. This change in direction popped in the writer- director’s head when he unfortunately, incorrectly, and egotistically decided that Daeg Faerch was " waaay too old" for the role of Young Michael Myers and that his scenes wouldn’t work. Unlike the previous film, H2 was intended to suck. It is not a remake of the Halloween II that came out in 1981. Halloween II (formerly known as H2, Halloween: The Devil Walks Among Us, Halloween II: Where the Fuck is Daeg?, and Halloween: Crucifixtion (of Rob Zombie)) is Rob Zombie’s 2009 abortion of the Halloween franchise. In this scene from Halloween II, Michael Myers ( Zakk Wylde) tells Laurie Strode (Scout-Taylor Compton, not pictured) to " DAH, YA MUTHAFUCKIN' BEE-ITCH!!!"
