When does this come out on DVD? Does anyone know? (or care?)
Lion's Gate Home Entertainment has just announced the full specs for Rob Zombie's directorial debut, House of 1,000 Corpses. The feel-good comedy of the year will street on August 12th and feature an anamorphic widescreen transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track, audio commentary by Zombie, an isolated score, featurettes specifically for the DVD by Zombie, still and FX galleries, and the trailers including Zombie's original favored promo. Note that this will be the R-rated cut only, and there will be no unrated release. Retail is $26.95.

agreed.
well why don't you two just go fuck yourselves and get it over with? the only people allowed to write in this thread are people that like the movie and want to laugh at the funny stuff on the dvd. SO STAY THE FUCK OUT!
I thought it was alright. It may be one of the few horror movies recently that didn't have me really wanting to see the hero/victims die a bloody death because they were too annoying and stupid. I think Rob Zombie has a good eye; his love of classic horror comes through. The scene in slow motion scored with Slim Whitman's "I Remember You" was very refreshing from just a normal slash and kill scene. Loved how Zombie ended it with the overhead shot as you are waiting for the execution...and you wait...and you wait...waiting for the gun to go off. It really went against one's expectation. All in all, I think it was worth watching if just for seeing the Agatha Crispies cereal box.
The DVD menu is one of the funniest I've seen. It's like the dark side of the "Evening With Kevin Smith" one.

this was the only scene i liked from this film, i knew it would take a second longer than how any regular film would have done this shot, but it was still a shock wen it happened.

c'mere you, give me a hug.....
This movie must surely win the award for "funniest use of novelty T-shirts ever" too. From Captain Spaulding's "IF I WANTED TO LISTEN TO AN ASSHOLE, I'D FART!" and "I LOVE PIGS", to Otis's "BURN THIS FLAG", to Tiny's "CHEAP-ASS HALLOWEEN COSTUME"
the shirt didn't say i love pigs, the shirt said "pigs is beautiful."
Ok, my bad.
As horror flicks go, This movie was awesome. It doesn't take itself too seriously. Continuous, insane gory shit, no hero ending. Like Texas Chainsaw good. I look forward to a solid, scary as hell, gory flick this was it. I loved it.
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.
