Halloween (2007)
Halloween is the 2007 re-imagined remake of John Carpenter's original 1978 horror classic. This film marks the third horror movie by rock musician turned director Rob Zombie (the first two being House of 1000 Corpses and the sequel, The Devil's Rejects). This film diverged solidly from the original film in that it gave a much larger back story to Doctor Loomis and Michael Myers, primarily his childhood years and the years that he was incarcerated in the mental hospital. Also, in the original Halloween, the revelation that Laurie Strode is related to Michael Myers was not revealed until the second Halloween movie. The primary reason why Laurie encountered Michael Myers in the original script was completely incidental. She just happened to be around the other teens who crossed paths with Myers. In February 2009, Rob Zombie began filming the sequel"H2", which was released in theaters in the fall of 2009, a really fast turn around time for a major motion picture.
Gun Law Inaccuracies:
One of the more inaccurate Hollywood falsehoods is the depiction that someone (anyone) can walk into a gun store in Illinois and walk out with a handgun, no questions asked. This is a common myth that is, unfortunately, propagated constantly in Hollywood and in movie scripts. Though based on the real life town of Haddonfield, NJ (Original co-writer and producer Debra Hill grew up in Haddonfield, NJ), the fictional town of Haddonfield is based in Illinois. In the state of Illinois there is a 72 hour waiting period for handguns and all buyers must apply for and receive an FOID (Firearms Owners Identification Card). The film depicts Dr. Loomis (Malcolm McDowell) as someone who knows nothing about guns, walking into a large, established retail gun store and managing to walk out with a Colt Python revolver. Not very likely in this day and age, however, it is myths like these that fuel calls for 'stricter gun control' amongst people who are ignorant of current gun laws.
'The following guns were used in the re-imagined Rob Zombie film Halloween (2007):
Smith & Wesson Model 36 "Chiefs Special"
After Michael Myers, at age 10, is incarcerated for a series of gruesome murders, his mother Deborah Myers (Sheri Moon Zombie) decides to commit suicide. In the depths of despair, she watches family home movies while holding a Smith & Wesson Model 36 "Chief Special" revolver - 38 Special.
Smith & Wesson Model 617 Revolver
When Doctor Samuel Loomis (Malcolm McDowell) goes to a gun store to purchase a handgun, he expresses interest in a silver revolver, a Smith & Wesson Model 617 Revolver.
Colt Python
- Doctor Samuel Loomis (Malcolm McDowell)is seen using Colt Python to kill Michael Myers. Later Laurie Strode takes it and shoot Michael Myers's face in the ending.
Beretta 92FS
- Two Haddonfield Sheriff Deputies use Beretta 92FS Pistols while searching the house.
Remington 1100 Shotgun
- Seen in the gun cabinet of Sheriff Lee Brackett's (Brad Dourif) gun cabinet in his office are two long guns, one of which is a Remington 1100 with Black Synthetic Furniture - 12 gauge.
Unknown Double Barreled Shotgun
- Also seen in the same gun cabinet is a double barreled shotgun (Side by side) of unknown make or model.
Remington Model 11 shotgun
- These Vintage semi-auto shotguns are seen in a rack in the Gun store. Note these could be A-5 or the Savage copies.
Browning Auto 5 shotgun
These Vintage semi-auto shotguns are seen in a rack in the Gun store. The Browning can often be distinguished from the Model 11 by the stock, the pistol grip is usually cut off flat on the M11, while it is usually rounded on the A-5. It should be noted that the Model 11 is a copy of the A-5 and that the shotgun on the right is not a browning A-5 or clone but a Stevens Model 520. This also marks the occasion where the most A-5 and variant's have been seen on screen.
Stevens Model 520 Shotgun
As noted above, there is a lone Stevens Model 520 shotgun, next to a row of Browning Auto-5/Remington Model 11 shotguns.
