Rob Zombie's "Halloween": Movie Trailer Now Available

After two successful romps behind the lens with House of 1,000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects, Rob Zombie is only months away from releasing his much-anticipated version of the 1978 classic, Halloween.

While the release date isn't until August 31, 2007, Zombie fans can catch the official movie trailer on Yahoo.com.

Staunch fans of the original Halloween needn't fear about a cheesy remake. One viewing of the trailer will kill all notions.

"Inside every one of us, there exists a dark side," begins the trailer, "Most people rise above it, but some are consumed by it."

Quick clips of a young Michael Myers reveal a disturbed youth in middle-class surroundings. With a clown mask over his face, we witness the first kill of the movie.

Zombie told Launch earlier this year that he wanted to further explore the masked murderer's motivations. "The biggest difference is I wanna make Michael Myers two things," he said. "I wanna make him a lead character who you sort of know about, 'cause I think that's what it'll take to make that character then again truly terrifying. So in order, in my mind, to pump the life back into him, to make that figure terrifying when he appears onscreen, is you need to know what is happening in his brain."

In March there was much speculation to whether or not Zombie would use the original theme song. As a multi-platinum solo artist and former frontman for White Zombie, the question was more than legitimate. Alas, Zombie has met everyone half way. As heard in the trailer, the notes are familiar, but their presentation has been "Zombified".

Mtv asked Zombie, " Talk about the plot of John Carpenter's 1978 classic versus the plot of your "re-imagining."
