Rob Zombie has commented on the reports that he has quietly gone about shooting new material for his upcoming remake of the horror classic "Halloween", including a brand new ending for the film. According to Bloody-Disgusting.com, Zombie spent a week shooting additional scenes of "violence, gore and bloodshed," including six new death sequences and the new finale, which was described as "quite gruesome." Sources told Launch that the additional scenes were shot as a result of audience response to a test screening of the film's initial cut that was held last month.

Said Zombie: "Dimension [Films] let me go film a couple new things that I thought the film needed and that's what I did. This is a good thing, so don't go worrying that something has gone wrong. The film still opens August 31 and kicks total ass. 'Nuff said."

"Halloween" is Zombie's third effort as a screenwriter and feature director.

Zombie was rumored to be touring this fall as special guest of BLACK SABBATH offshoot HEAVEN AND HELL, but that slot has been taken by ALICE COOPER.

Zombie is preparing a live album for release in August and is also said to be working on a box set from his previous band, WHITE ZOMBIE.

The man is an idiot if he thinks that Halloween needs something new in it.
This is going to suck as much as the Wicker Man remake.

He dident break up White Zombie some a$$hole sewed them for that name so he changed it to Rob Zombie but then after a little while the band started to break up so he starded hireing new people and actually I think John5 is mush better than Blasko any day and Piggy D kicks some major a$$ on bass also.

Im psyched to see the flick. If 'Halloween' is as much of an improvement as 'Devils rejects' was over 'House of a thousand corpses', then it should be really great.

The Halloween franchise needed a kick in the a$$ and Zombie was just the man to do it. I love this line
