Michael Fleming of Variety.com reports that Dimension Films and Rob Zombie are teaming for another chapter of "Halloween", tentatively due for release in October.

Zombie will write and direct "H2", the sequel to his 2007 reinvention of the John Carpenter horror classic. Production will begin in March.

The new film picks up right as the first remake ended, following the aftermath of Michael Myers' murderous rampage through the eyes of the sister he hunted.

"Halloween", a "re-imagining" of the 1978 horror classic, was Zombie's third film as a director and biggest hit yet, grossing $31 million in its opening weekend, more than his two previous films combined.

Zombie's next film was supposed to be "Tyrannosaurus Rex", about an aging wrestler battling a vicious motorcycle gang. But Zombie himself recently stated that he had not even written the script for the film yet.

More recently, Zombie has been recording his fourth studio album for a 2009 release and issued the song "War Zone" on the soundtrack of the new movie "Punisher: War Zone". The long-awaited boxed set from his previous band, WHITE ZOMBIE, called "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie", came out last month.

John Carpenter filmed his 1978 indie chiller on a $325,000 budget. The film made roughly $47 million at the domestic box office, and still ranks among the most impressive budget-to-box office ratios in history. Zombie's studio-approved "Halloween" cost about $20 million.

The three-disc unrated collector's edition DVD of Rob Zombie's "Halloween" hit stores nationwide on October 7. According to Rob, "The set contains an all-new four-and-a-half-hour documentary about the making of the film!"
