...horror pic The Devil's Rejects, revealed the metal singer/director's knack for coaxing a certain grisly charm out of his homicidal antiheroes and evoking an unexpected creepiness out of the sun-bleached California desert. Now the horror auteur is taking a stab at Michael Myers, the masked psychopath from John Carpenter's 1978 Halloween, which Zombie is retooling for an August release...
