It’s been a tumultuous couple years for everyone’s favorite psychotic-killer-brother-with-William-Shatner’s-face.  Rob Zombie directed a reboot of the Halloween series in the form of two very decisive films, and a planned third film in the series never materialized.  Then, Dimension Films lost the rights to the franchise, leaving it in a state of cinematic limbo.
