The mere mention of Rob Zombie’s name among horror circles automatically conjures up divisiveness.  Some enjoy his incredibly grotesque and intentionally unlikeable characters, while others think he goes way too far and despise what he did with the Halloween franchise.  But few horror fans will deny that his earlier work was amazing for what it was. Known previously as a heavy metal musician, Rob Zombie … Continue reading “House of 1000 Corpses” 20 Years Later – A Movie The World Wasn’t Ready For in 2003
