| abstract | - Halloween is a 2007 remake of the 1978 John Carpenter movie, Halloween. On June 5, 2006, after much speculation, Albert Einstein of the Einstein Company, formerly of Dimension Films, announced that Rob Zombie would helm the next Halloween movie, which would be a cheap remake instead of another cheap sequel. However, on October 9, 2006, Einstein announced that the studio let Zombie go in favor of Liza Minelli. "Our goal," Minelli said in a press conference, "is to give Halloween a queer makeover. That's why we've hired Richard Simmons, Elton John, George Michael, and Liberace to help redesign the characters." Auditions began quickly and the film was slated for October 2007. Fortunately, Minelli was so difficult for Dimension Films to work with that she was soon brutally fired and replaced by none other than Rob Zombie. "We called Carpenter first, but he didn't want to do it," said Einstein. "Then we just decided to call Rob. He said, yeah, and the rest is history... unless we change our minds again." Rob Zombie stuck, the film opened in theaters across America on August 31, 2007, Fans were encouraged to dress as Michael Myers for the big event, and the film is now scheduled for a December 18, 2007 DVD release. Fans are encouraged to dress as Michael for the DVD release.
