I'm not sure what you mean in bold. Do you like how zombie explained it that he was abused and all that and basically went thru the motions of being a killer (at age 10) or in the original how he was age 6 and something just took over him (later revealed to be the emrgence of the celtic seed thing) despite his good upbringing and no abuse of any kind? I perfer the original because he's essential the embodiment of evil and has 0 humanity/emotion at any point in his life (until a part of 4 or 5 where he breaks away from it for a brief second).

Again I was gonna avoid seeing this at all cost but i heard it may have only been a different version of the first not an entirely different movie.
What book are you talking about? Is that a novelization of the movie? I thought John Carpenter wrote Halloween specifically to be made into a movie. You ought to know to toss out whatever is in a book. That's never canon-material when making a movie, I'd say it's more of a jumping off point. I like Zombie taking a step in a different direction and not making the exact same movie as we'd already seen. Some things didn't work for me- the abusive, dysfunctional relationship was just a little too pat an explanation for me as to how he became the killer. I liked how in the original it just happened for no reason.

In my opinion Zombie has made marked improvement with each film and I'm interested in seeing what he does next. House of 1000 Corpses sucked, but The Devil's Rejects was a whole lot better and Halloween was a step above that.
