Man, Christmas sure isn’t what it used to be.

In a story from Fangoria and Bloody-Disgusting, it seems that Rob Zombie’s Halloween will be coming to DVD on December 18 from The Weinstein Company and Genius Entertainment.

Halloween will be released “in both the R-rated theatrical version and a widescreen director’s cut running 11 minutes longer; the former will be presented in both widescreen and fullscreen, while the latter will be letterboxed only, and all will have Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks.”

Synopsis:

From acclaimed musician and filmmaker Rob Zombie (The Devil’s Rejects) comes an entirely new take on the highly successful and terrifying Halloween legacy that began in 1978. While revealing a new chapter in the established Michael Myers saga, the film will surprise both classic and modern horror fans with a departure from prior films in the Halloween franchise. Audiences should brace themselves for unprecedented fear as Zombie turns back time to uncover the making of a pathologically disturbed, even cursed child, named Michael Myers.
