31 Nights of Horror. Night 7: House of 1000 Corpses

Welcome to the demented world of Mr. Rob Fu**in’ Zombie! House of 1000 Corpses (2003) was the directorial debut of the #1 horror fan and rock god, Rob Zombie. Filmed in 2000 but not released until three years later, in part because of pressure from the distributors not to release the film because of the content, Zombie was constantly filming two versions of the movie to appease the studio.

Did you know that Zombie considered appearing a few seconds into the film as Dr. Wolfenstein. However, after deciding that he would look “normal” no matter what make-up effects were used, he chose not to. Instead, he took on the brief role as Dr. Wolfenstein’s assistant (for about 2 seconds) and can be seen in the background and then smashing a pumpkin with a sledgehammer.

Also did you know that Zombie filmed some of the scenes, like the one with (clearing throat) Baby playing with the skeleton, and Otis torturing the cheerleaders, in his basement after principle filming wrapped up. He would invite cast members over to his house on the weekends and shoot the footage himself with a 16mm hand-held camera. With the exception of the shot of a setting sun, he created the opening credits the same way.

This is by far one of my favorite horror movies. It is just so viseral and in your face that it stands the test of time with all the great slash ’em up flicks like Psycho and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

What is your favorite scary movie?

31 Days of Horror. Day 23: The Devils Rejects

October 24, 2011 by robertforto 1 Comment

Every year we have a tradition in the Forto house where we celebrate the greatest month of the year, October, with scare your socks off, hide under the covers, turn on all the lights, sleep with one eye open, fright fest, movie marathon everynight of the month! We call it 31 Days of Horror

 

In Rob Zombie’s continuation to his first film, The House of 1000 Corpses, Captain Spaulding, Baby Firefly (Sheri Moon Zombie) and the rest of the demented family return to wreck havoc in Ruggsville, Texas.

 

Captain Spaulding

 

The Devils Rejects is one of the most graphic films I have ever seen. Not necessarily the special effects but the storyline really makes you sit back and think: WOW! How could someone think this twisted? Rob Zombie proves that he can and his demented sense of horror brings this film to the crescendo in an otherwise bleak world of cut-um-up slasher flicks.

 

This is is a must see if you a horror fan!

 

Plot: In Ruggsville, Texas, the police under the command of Sheriff John Quincy Wydell attack the house of the sadistic serial killers Firefly family (a.k.a. The Devil’s Reject) and they arrest mother Firefly, but Otis B. Driftwood and Baby Firefly escape from the siege. Tiny is wandering nearby the house and also escapes. Otis and Baby call their patriarch, the mad clown Captain Spaulding and they schedule to reunite at an isolated motel in the desert. When Otis and Baby arrive, they kidnap two families of singers, using sadism and violence against the harmless persons. Meanwhile, Sheriff Wydell promises to capture and kill the runaways, seeking revenge for the death of his brother, the Deputy George Wydell.
