When I first joined this site I joined one of those covens, and apparently I was supposed to add the members pic up on the webpage but i have no idea how to do that. There was no code and no place to add it. It must not have run off of html. :/ So I ended up quiting the coven. I just have more important stuff to do than making sure I have a coven thing on my webpage.
What a lot of horror buffs don't seem to like about Rob Zombie's version of Halloween is that in John Carpenter's version Michael Myers is known as "the shape". Myers is this creature that could be anywhere and everywhere, rather than some guy who had a bad childhood in Zombie's version. Zombie gave Myers humanity ... something that he wasn't meant to have.
Michael Myers is supposed to represent an idea that can never be killed and can never die.
However, the real thing is this, which ultimately sets both movies apart; the original Halloween depicts evil could spring up anywhere, even in a quiet midwest suburban neighborhood. Zombie seems to want us to believe that evil is only created in white trash households -- aka, the poor, and that simply is not true.
Rob Zombie pretty much took the theme of Carpenter's movie, wadded it up and threw it away, and kept the murder and added rape and torture for some quick thrills that don't work.
Already torture-porn horror is being swept aside. "Let me In" (Let The Right One In), is a ground breaking movie that will pull horror in a new direction, instead of the load of bs that has been dished out one after the other for the past ten years. And I believe that there will be a few more horror movies like it within the next couple of years that will shift the genre back to a more original and enjoyable course.
The original Halloween movie started the slasher trend in the 80's and 90's that has led us to the cheap thrills and obviously fake props known as Grindhouse. And although I didn't care for the cgi in "Let Me In", it's the acting and the story that has made it something larger than just another horror flick. And that's what is going to carry on in the late 2010"s.
Other ground breaking horror movies are the Japanese horror flicks and Saw.
