Margot Kidder returns to the horror genre with Zombie's H2!
Before Margot Kidder immortalised sassy journalist Lois Lane into cinematic popular culture in SUPERMAN in 1978, she had already established herself as a bit of an up and coming horror icon. Roles in Brian De Palma's SISTERS and the incredibly creepy BLACK CHRISTMAS were her calling before Lane, and even after being in one of the biggest movies of all time she wasn't ready to give the genre up... starring in THE AMITYVILLE HORROR just a year after SUPERMAN. And it's with some delight today I can report from Shock Till You Drop that she is returning to the genre to play Laurie Strode's therapist Barbara Collier, in Rob Zombie's sequel to his HALLOWEEN remake. Zombie may have also let it slip on his blog the new title for the movie which seems to be H2: THE DEVIL WALKS AMONG US. All references to the title have since been removed from his blog, so he probably let it out of the bag too quickly. Well it sounds better than H2... but HALLOWEEN 2 would have been just fine for me instead of adding on a STV sounding subtitle. The movie is currently shooting in Georgia, aiming for an August release. Nice to see Kidder back in the genre, if nothing else!
