Halloween is Rob Zombie’s origin story of what made Michael Myers, erm, Michael Myers. This lasts about 40 minutes, and then we see the events of the original film through Zombie’s eyes.

In fact, the croc has swallowed a satellite tracking beacon that contains very sensitive information and the 'poachers' are CIA agents. I love crazy crossover movies. I remember the first …
