The wonderful remake of Halloween I and II

Halloween I and II were two of the best remakes I have ever seen. They were both absolute masterpieces. After Halloween I, I was thinking "That was one of the best remakes ever, however it'll probably not get a sequel like other movies." Thankfully I was wrong and two years later the same producer made Halloween II. Personally, I think they would have come out nicely had they been in 3-D. With all the violence, murder, shooting ect how could it not? Coincidentally, the director's name fits right in with the movie he was producing. [(Being a horror movie (His name being Rob Zombie.)] Also, his wife (Sheri Moon Zombie) is in it, so it fits in well. Micheal Myers is threat that keeps coming back time after time after time again, that's something that I like about him. He has been hit with several shots multiple
times, burnt, electrocuted, and thought decapitated. Something I really appreciated about the remake of Halloween I is the extra background information it gives, compared to the original Halloween I which gave a minimal amount. At this point they probably (and I could be wrong again) won't remake Halloween III, IV, V, VI, VII, or VIII. It's a shame really, I can only imagine how good they would have come out. Though I suppose they weren't that bad, just could have been filmed better with better technology. I was very pleased when I read in the paper that Halloween I (remake) was doing well and was popular, and I was glad that the reviews agreed with my opinions on the movie. Two years later, I couldn't believe it when I heard that Halloween II (remake) was going so poorly in the polls.  Halloween I and II are both worth rewatching unlike certain other horror movies.
