Rob Zombie will be back with the Halloween series this August, as Dimension Films has announced that H2, the direct sequel to the director’s 2007 remake of the horror classic, will be released on August 28.

The original opened on August 31, 2007 and set a new record for the four-day Labor Day holiday weekend with $30.6 million. August would have seen the release of Zombie’s Tyrannosaurus Rex, which has now been pushed back due to H2.

The sequel will pick up immediately after the first movie ended and will follow the aftermath o Michael Myers’ murderous rampage. Shooting begins this March.
