You don't say no to Rob Zombie. We've all learned that the hard way at one point or another.
Interestingly enough, Al has parodied Rob Zombie in the past - his gutteral "YEAH!" vocals on "Pentiums" (the ones Bermuda mouthed in a cubicle in the video) were a reference to Zombie's part on the "Benjamins" radio single.
Honestly, I'm not actively WISHING Al's character to die. I'm just saying that it's a gruesome bloody horror flick, so don't be surprised.

Yeah, whoever heard of an innocent bystander? That's just nonsense!
Michael doesn't walk through TV audiences and decide, "Hey! I'm gonna kill you now!." He's more of a lurker/shadow/stalker type. As I said before, he's after Loomis and will probably wait until after the show to do what he's gonna do.

Well, not only did he AGREE to get his head blown up in "Spy Hard," I'm pretty sure it was his own idea.
"Spy Hard" is a comedy. It was for comedic effect. That's entirely different, IMO.

Anyway, I think we ALL lost the ability to fall back on calling Al "family-friendly" after he released WBUL.
Well, we still haven't heard "Orgy on my Own".

Well, you know how it is with these remakes...

I, for one, am really hoping that Al dies in a horribly gruesome way. The more disgusting it is, the more it will appeal to me. Knowing Rob Zombie's directorial skills and his usual art direction/cinematography style, I think seeing one of my favorite celebrities of all time be mutilated and maimed would be absolutely hilarious.
Al, if you're reading this, I'm sorry. But I'm sure you'd feel the same way.

I totally agree with Jon. I LOVE Johnny Depp's death in NOES and Crispin Glover's death in F13: 5(?) (If only for the "dance" scene before it)
But, I'm willing to bet that Al's on the talk show, and Loomis is there just to exposit.

Maybe he's just doing a polka version of the Halloween theme?
Think about that playing over the credits of your gruesome horror film!

Hahah I'm having a really good laugh reading this thread. I'm sure Al would be thrilled to be horribly mutilated in a Rob Zombie film! Just the sort of thing that appeals to him, I'd say, but I'm not sure that would add greatly to the films scary credentials. I think everyone would laugh themselves sick, as we are, as FredHuggins pointed out, so used to Al doing that sort of thing anyway that it would be hysterically funny, probably to the detriment of the overall arc of the story. I can't think anyone would feel upset..? surely not? Al would love a gory death scene I'm sure!

Right, but I think Rob Zombie has a good sense of humor. And a lot of horror films have strong comedic elements in them. Here's one way he could appeal to Weird Al fans and non-fans alike!

I hate to rain on anybody's parade, but I think there's probably another answer to this. Al is strictly a comedian. It would seem way out of place to have him in a horror movie. Not because of his supposed "family friendly" persona, but because of his comedy. I just don't see it. It would be like Leslie Neilson showing up in the next "Saw" movie.
There's likely another answer to this. Maybe Al is directing a music video for the movie's soundtrack or something. Or maybe it's something completely unrelated to "Halloween." This could just be a coincidence that they are working together.

Leslie Nielson in Saw LOL!!
D'ya think Al's doing a Rob Zombie style parody?
Al's not "strictly" anything IMO.. he can do anything he's asked to do and make a decent go of it as he has proved over and over. Who wouldn't want to work with him?
Ultimately we have to Wait And See to see whats really going on, but you have to admit it is fun having something to speculate wildly about! LOL
