I thought Halloween remake by Rob Zombie was definitely better than the original. Of course, I just saw on IMDB that he's doing a second one, which I have doubts about. Now that the "creation" of Michael Myers is out of the way, I'd expect any more movies to be the same horrible formula from the bad movies: Surprise! He's not really dead, he'll kill a bunch of people, then die. Rinse. Repeat.
The thing was amazing by the way. The original isn't even bad, once you get past the fact that the monster looks like Frankenstein and is technically a carrot. It's got the whole claustraphobic, trapped in the middle of a frozen wasteland thing.
