Watch 'Halloween' Trailer
MTV asked Zombie,
"Talk about the plot of John Carpenter's 1978 classic versus the plot of your "re-imagining."
Zombie: "The plot is so simple [in the original]; it's this young kid Michael Myers," said Zombie. "We've changed it a bit - in the original, he kills his sister; then he's sent to Smith's Grove Sanitarium, which he later escapes from as an adult; comes home and starts randomly killing babysitters. Later, in sequels, they made [his back story] more significant - but in the first one, it's pretty random ... I've added a lot more to it, and I've tried to make everything he did be motivated and justified in some way, so it's never random killing for no reason. There's a reason for everything."
