Michael Myers Unmasked

Now here's a heaping portion of blasphemy for you. Michael Myers, the man behind the knife in the Halloween flicks will apparently not be sporting his trademark mask for the majority of the film.

Shock Till You Drop was recently on the set of H2 and is reporting that Myers will be mask-less for the first three quarters of the movie. Here's what I want to know. Why?

Outside of the original movie (which is a masterpiece of the macabre), the Halloween franchise certainly isn't the best and the mask has helped pull the franchise through even the worst entries. Why in God's name would the director, Rob Zombie, do this? Was his bloodlust not quenched after he destroyed the franchise the first time? Why kick it when its down?

And apparently, when the mask is introduced near the end of the picture, it won't even be the usual iconic mask. It's going to be completely different.

I'm a fan of the franchise (the original is my favorite horror flick), but this is ridiculous. Consider me uninterested in this movie. Let's just pray Zombie changes his mind and has enough time to rectify this horrible, horrible mistake.
