LATEST: Rocker ROB ZOMBIE is thrilled he is getting the chance to remake classic horror movie HALLOWEEN, because he wants to make killer MICHAEL MYERS scary again.

The WHITE ZOMBIE frontman claims the Halloween franchise has become too soft and wants to make the film darker and grittier.
He explains, "My thought was, you know how BATMAN became a bit gay and the batsuit had nipples?
"I figured Michael Myers had jumped the shark a little when you could buy a Michael Myers doll and you could press his stomach and it would play the music from Halloween.
"Maybe he's not as scary as he once was. Every little kid wants to dress up like him.
"That's not good, you want them to be terrified of him. I want to make it fresh."
