Rob Zombie's "Halloween II" didn't win the box office race this weekend and delivered a weaker performance than its 2007 predecessor, but doesn't mean we're never going to see Michael Myers kill on the big screen again. In fact, he'll back in theaters next summer already, and this time, he'll kill in... 3D!

Believe it or not, but according to the Los Angeles Times, Bob Weinstein said "Halloween 3D" will be ready for summer 2010. The decision came just after "The Final Destination," which is currently playing in 3D, topped the box office this weekend.

Movie Review: "Halloween II"

Seen on: August 29, 2009

The players: Director: Rob Zombie, Writer: Rob Zombie, Cast: Tyler Mane, Brad Dourif, Chris Hardwick, Scout Taylor-Compton, Malcolm McDowell

Facts of interest: "Halloween II" is apparently Zombie's last flick in the series.

The plot: Michael Myers is coming home to do what he does best: kill people in the most brutal ways possible.

Our thoughts: Let me start off by saying that you can count me among those unsatisfied with Rob Zombie ‘s 2007 remake of “Halloween.” No, it was not a total disaster in my book, but the film simply failed to impress and intrigue me. Now Zombie strikes back with a follow-up, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s a tad worse than his previous effort.
