Quentin Tarantino talks his Halloween 6, praises Rob Zombie

I don't know that they're 'friends.' I think they just both worked at Miramax and Rob Zombie was invited to make something for Grindhouse.

Ha, good point on the murder road trip. That may not have worked, but frankly may have made more sense considering where 5 left off, and as much as it sounds silly, that at least suggests an attempt to deal with this thing they set up rather than just completely ignore it like they eventually did.
