January 23, 2009 Rob Zombie gave the site Icons of Fright some insights into his "H2" sequel, which apparently has Laurie Strode as an older character. "now she’s not the happy-go-lucky girl, now she’s very fucked up famous person, trying to make sense of this," he tells Icons of Fright.



Speaking of Scout Taylor-Compton, who starred as Laurie in the last time, Zombie says: "She hasn’t seen the script yet, so she’s not sure what’s happening. But I put a lot of good stuff into her character. It’s a real kick-ass film. ... It takes place over some time, but it starts that night and then essentially, I mean… the first one, Laurie has no idea what just happened. But then she wakes up the next day and someone’s going, 'Oh by the way, your parents are dead. All your friends are dead. And actually, your brother is uh, Charles Manson.'"

"H2" hits theaters in August.
