This movie rocked incredibly hard (in my opinion).  Any movie that combines Natural Born Killers with Texas Chainsaw Massacre gets an A in my book.  Maybe it was just the sick humor, but I loved it.

Rob Zombie Talks House of 1000 Corpses Sequel
Source: MTV

Rob Zombie is about to double his cinematic body count to 2000. His script for "House of 1000 Corpses 2" has been approved, and the horror auteur will start casting the production after the holidays.

The original, Zombie's directorial debut, hit theaters in April and raked in $7.1 million in its first 10 days at the box office. Unlike its predecessor, which was colored with black humor, the sequel will include less comic relief.

"It's a very different film," Zombie said. "It's much darker and more serious. It's a gritty crime movie like [the 1973 Terrence Malick film] 'Badlands.' There's nothing campy or wacky at all."

The opening scene in "Corpses 2" takes place a couple of months after the last scene in the first movie. "Everything that was alluded to in 'Corpses' has been found out in the house," Zombie said. "The house is raided by a SWAT team, and it all goes bad from there."

If the production stays on schedule, "House of 1000 Corpses 2" will be in theaters next summer. That Lions Gate green lighted a sequel for "Corpses" is a real triumph for Zombie, considering the director had a lot of problems finding a studio for the original. The first movie was created for Universal, who refused to put it out after seeing it. Then MGM picked it up but ultimately got cold feet as well.

"I knew that no matter who put it out," Zombie said, "if it made money they would want another one, because that's all they care about. If I hadn't already gone through the whole process in music, it might have freaked me out. But dealing with 'Corpses' sort of reminded me of the early days of dealing with White Zombie, especially La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Vol. 1, which got slaughtered. Every review was beyond horrible. But we toured forever, and somehow it just worked."

I just saw this the other day, it's so corny it's hilarious. Most corny horror flicks annoy the shit outta me, but this was so perfect.

I did, however, love the whole slow-mo scene, totally rock'n. Thank you walrus for suggesting this to me, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
mmm, mmmm good
