The folks over at ShockTillYouDrop can confirm that Rob Zombie's "H2: Halloween 2" will open nationwide Aug. 28, 2009.

Picking the end of August for a release already paid off for the first remake of "Halloween," which started Aug. 31, 2007 and ended up delivering a $30.5 million opening weekend.

STYD also received a sneak peek at the new Michael Myers mask, which you can check out in the pic to the left. Note that this is just an outline, and definitely not the final mask.

Other than that, all we know is that the second film kicks off immediately where the last one ended. Tyler Man will also return as Michael.

Let me wrap this up with some words Zombie posted on his blog: "If you thought Michael was fucked before, you ain't seen nothing yet! He is bigger, meaner and more psycho than Dr. Loomis ever thought possible."
