Trailer for Zombie’s “Halloween 2″ Debuts

Yahoo Movies has the first trailer for Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 (which is apparently officially titled H2, and fellas, I wish you the best of luck getting me to ever actually call it that).
You can check it out here.
My take on the trailer…? I thought you’d never ask.
My initial thought was that the look and tone suggest that Zombie is going for more straightforward scares here, with fewer of the stylistic flourishes that have so polarized the audiences for his first three films (House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects, and Halloween). I kept right on thinking that until the moment Sheri Moon Zombie appeared as some sort of ghostly image of Michael’s moms, who appears to be in this movie in a kind of schizophrenic-vision capacity.
Which is not to say that I disliked this trailer. Not at all, in fact; it looks pretty damn good to me. But I’ve been a fan of Zombie’s previous three films, so take that for what it’s worth.
Halloween 2, or whatever they’re calling it, opens on August 28.
