After the successful release of the horror/thriller film “Halloween,” a lot of speculation came up on whether Rob Zombie is goig to do a sequel. His remake of Halloween has spooked up more than $30 million, the biggest Labor Day weekend opening ever. And with his newly cemented two-picture contract with Dimension Films, one might assume that Zombie, who directed 1000 Corpses and its sequel, The Devil’s Rejects, now considers horror his foolproof way to the top.

But as it turns out, the director has higher aspirations. Even if Dimension forces him to do more scary stuff, Zombie said “I’m not going to do any more Halloween movies, or any more remakes of any kind. I signed up for two more pictures, but not two more Halloween pictures,” he says. “They’re going to be original stuff — and I don’t necessarily know that they’re going to be related to the horror genre either.”

Well, as far as sequel goes, I’m getting sick and tired of it. So I applaud Zombie in going for something more original.
