Rob Zombie talked to FEARnet about his Halloween sequel. Here is what he had to say about changing his mind on doing a second film.

“Well, it took me by surprise also. After finishing Halloween I was so burnt out that I had no desire to do it again. For some reason Halloween was one of those shoots that was stressful and crazed from day one. Everything was a struggle and a problem.

So, when it was done I was ready to be done. Then time goes by, you regenerate, forget and the idea of a sequel seems okay. But by that point I thought someone else was already doing it. So I just forgot about it. Then I ran into Matt Stein from Weinstein Company at the Scream Awards and found out that it was still up for grabs. So I grabbed it. I love my version of the characters and can’t wait to take them further. This sequel will be different than the first film, much like The Devil’s Rejects was different from House of 1000 Corpses.”
