He never said he improved Halloween, and never said his was better. The woman who wrote the article took lines he said in a 2002 and 2003 interview and translated it into that. His exact words were only remake shitty movies... but in a later interview he did retract that statement. The original article was pulled down, and he called the woman out for slandering him. I get the hate the man gets, cause 2 of his 5 movie have been pure shit... but alot of people have really used their jump to conclusions mat. He posted on his facebook how he asked Carpenter if he could do the remake, because he thought the original was one of the best horror movies ever.

If you guys REALLY want to laugh, look at this shit. His new movie is crowd funded and the rewards you get are fucking ludicrous.

Some of the rewards:
-pledge 50 bucks and you get a signed DVD or Poster. Not even a blu-ray for 50 bucks, but a DVD
-pledge 50 bucks and get a 31 shirt
-pledge 150 bucks and you get a signed Devil's Rejects poster, not even from 31
-pledge 300 DOLLARS and he will follow you on Twitter - This may be my favorite. 300 bucks for this egotistical asshole to follow you on Twitter.
-pledge 750 dollars and get your name in the end credits. Almost a grand to have your name in a part of the film no one pays attention to.
-pledge 1500 dollars and get ONE CROSS (from the cemetery) of House of 1000 Corpses. Seriously
-pledge 5000 dollars and be an extra in a scene. Then it says, "Be part of movie history"
Wow, just..just wow

I wonder how much Zombie is even looking for. Most of these Crowd Funding things have a goal in mind, but unless I'm missing it, I don't see a number anywhere

This is a new level of trashy... which is saying a lot in RZ's case.

I'll give you that these are laughable but:
"I’m crowd funding because I realize that it’s an incredible opportunity to engage the fans. They’ve always been the most important thing for me because, with metal and horror, the fans aren’t just fans – it’s their life, their lifestyle. They live and breathe it, as I do, and any way that you can bring the people that are as passionate about it as you are into the process is a win-win for everybody.Get on board! Get involved! Be part of this horrifying business! The world of horror needs you!"
Is kind of a nice sentiment.

To me what he is saying is he wants to use "fans" money for whatever reason...doesn't matter. His comment goes off the tracks where he states "it is an incredible opportunity to engage the fans.".
Taking their money to "crowd fund" his movie and make the "rewards" so unbelievably lame is condescending horseshit. Also, how exactly is this engaging fans other than giving RZ money? He has a loyal following of lemmings who I am sure would love to fling money his way to make more garbage but other than that, what about horror fans in general?
Get on board. Get involved. How? After someone gives money is that automatically on board and involved? Why because they might be an extra if they are stupid enough to give this hack $5000!
The entire thing makes no sense to me

I believe that it is getting the "fans involved" for the same reason all of us here keep talking about fan involvement. The attitude for years has been "you don't like shitty remakes don't give them money" and "if you want different ideas go see it in the theaters to give it money and show hollywood that this is what you want." Zombie is just doing that before the theaters and i'm sure he'll use the crowd funding to play martyr about hollywood censorship like he did with House of a 1000 Corpses. And while the prizes are lame I agree he will have fans give him that due to this hive mind cult mentality his fans have around him. As you said the hardcore "lemmings" that blindly love whatever he does will do anything for him.
While I am not defending Zombie's ego which I do agree seems to be over inflated but in a weird way you can't 100% blame him for it. When you have thousands of people damn near worshiping you I'd imagine it's be hard to stay humble. And before that gets taken out of context I'd just like to state that I am not defending Zombie just playing devils advocate here.

On the one hand, it's a travesty, one where a successful filmmaker and musician who has been backed by studios for their projects without having to resort to leaking cash out of their fans and H-wood celebs taking on independent crowd-funding websites like Indiegogo and Kickstarter both places that are in dire need of support for independent artists like myself who grew up into non-rich family who really want to make our fresh and creative ideas come true with the help of others who are willing, and by taking away these indie crowd-funding sites they could be leading H-wood and other corporate bastard cunts that are destroying our economy and even more so destroying creativity would start to hash out a disgusting idea to start stealing money from audiences. Except many of those others would rather throw away 60,000 fucking dollars to a potato salad, fuck those people.
On the other hand, it's easy to see how incredibly terrible Hollywood has become when it comes to film-making, whether it be a well-known filmmaker or even a fresh new talent, Hollywood is demonstratively idiotic (as it always has been) as to how they go about making "great movies" that they tie a noose around everyone's fucking neck including themselves for the MPAA (evil dictators) and the corporations that want to shove their product placement dicks up everyone of our asses, destroying every bit of creativity that dares show its face in the industry, it's fucked up beyond belief how H-wood has always been treating fresh new talent and even snubbing well-known talent (RZ is great no matter what you say) to the point where those talent people turn to the indie realm and seeking help from their fanbases or friends and family to help them create their vision when they can't even get studio funding from studios who don't fucking care about them.
Now I'm not saying it's good for H-wood celebs to be using indie crowd-funding to create their next project they SHOULD be putting their own money from their early successes to make their dreams come to fruition, but I can understand why it's happening and how tragic the mainstream has become especially with the idiots who are running it what with the corporate business world and the religious rite destroying anything of arts and science they touch and so I feel bad for these filmmakers that can't even get a dime from these studios who are too busy biting each others' dicks off to even notice that their industry will collapse on itself and it WILL happen, mark my words!

I understand
The big thing that makes it hard for me the believe that Zombie is a total 100% dick is the fact the Bill Moseley, Sid Haig, Ken Foree, etc. are still willing to work with him of a fairly regular basis. When directors are total cunts they tend not to have casts members willing to work with them again.

If Zombie wanted to engage the fans and give them the chance to be a part of horror movie history, then he wouldn't ask for money. He would hold a contest for these prizes/walk on cameos/meet n greets.
I'm 100% with Mac on this. Don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining.
