Kidder joins Zombie's 'Halloween 2'

Margot Kidder has joined the cast of H2, Rob Zombie's sequel to his 2007 Halloween remake.

The Superman actress will portray Barbara Collier, the therapist of lead character Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton). Picking up where its predecessor left off, H2 will see serial killer Michael Myers continuing to terrorise his sister Laurie.

Horror veteran Kidder has also appeared in Sisters, Black Christmas and The Amityville Horror.

Writing on his MySpace blog, Zombie said that the latest Halloween will be titled H2: The Devil Walks Among Us, but later removed any reference of the subtitle.

The movie is scheduled for release on August 28 in the US.
