I would watch them but I think it's a complete travesty that they are remaking them. The only reason I'd watch it is out of curiosity and I don't think there's much of a way to improve upon Halloween 1/2.
Plus I don't think Rob Zombie's work has demonstrated that he's the guy who should be remaking it. Everyone always talks about how great all his stuff is...whatever...shock is shock. It won't ever be true horror in the traditional sense.
*hoping I don't have to eat my words once the movie comes out in October*

I would watch them certainly - but don't know if I would enjoy them. I watched the first one a few years back and just laughed at some of the silly lines like calling someone a meatball head. LOL
Typically remakes are never as good, but you never know

Rob Zombie seems to take his idea of horror movies into the land of snuff films. I read a review of Bride of Frankenstein just recently and found this passage;
"One advantage of horror movies is that they permit extremes and flavors of behavior that would be out of tone in realistic material.
The genre also encourages visual experimentation. From "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (1919) onward, horror has been a cue for unexpected camera angles, hallucinatory architecture and frankly artificial sets. As mainstream movies have grown steadily more unimaginative and realistic in their visuals, horror has provided a lifeline back to the greater design freedom of the silent era. To see sensational "real" things is not the same as seeing the bizarre, the grotesque, the distorted and the fanciful."
I think there is a differenece between a horror movie striving to be the best and a horror movie striving to show the worst (gore, chopped up flesh, etc.) This movie already suffers by not being an original idea, I won't be surprised if it just does its 4-6 weeks in the theaters, winds up on DVD....and that's just the end of it. No big deal.
But I could be wrong.
