Halloween Movie Month [House of 1000 Corpses]

I'll be the first to admit I'm not a huge fan, or really a fan, of Rob Zombie at all. But this movie (and it's "sequel" The Devils Rejects) have always been good in my eyes. I like this movie more though cause, even for Zombie, it's quite tame. It follows the story of two couples traveling around gather information to write a book about roadside attractions you see when on a road trip. They stumble upon Captain Spaulding's Museum of Strange and take a ride chronicling murders and murderers. They learn about the legend of Dr. Satan, and afterward ask to given a map to the infamous tree where he was hanged. On the way there they pickup a hitchhiker and so begins a downward spiral where the couples seemly descend into Hell. This is a very visual movie. The music is eerie and combined with the old-school video cut-ins it makes this quite creepy. Not to mention the cinematography, while not Scorsese-like, makes this movie creepy looking as hell. Dead bodies and bones everywhere, and when Rainn Wilson is revealed as stuffed art and the end where we see Dr. Satan, pure epic and/or grossness. Whichever you prefer. The acting is what it is, crazy, and the kills are sick. I remember watching this was like 13 and being freaked out. While it didn't freak me out present day I know why this is one helluva horror flick. Blood, gore, craziness, just a fun watch for around Halloween time. Zombie you've made two things I like, well done.
