A movie that helped guide all horror to come. It spawned a number of sequels, a reboot and a remake, which itself spawned a sequel.  You’d think that would narrow it down a little, right? Not in this day and age of reboot madness. That’s a topic for another day. Today we are going to take a look at Rob Zombie’s Halloween.
