I am sure if you listen to Lazer or stay up on rock in general, you are well aware that Rob Zombie is not only a musician but a writer and director as well. I am a fan of 3 of his 6 movies. I’ll take a hard pass on 31, Halloween II and definitely Lords of Salem (what the heck was that all about?!) but House of 1,000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects and his take on Halloween are all part of my home collection.

I believe it deserves more than 3 stars on IMDB but here are some fun facts:

• There is more than one instance where you see a poster for two missing young boys. Those boys were actually pictures of Rob Zombie and his brother (the lead singer of Powerman 5000) as children.
• Universal Pictures (original production company) refused to release the film, believing it would be given an “NC-17” rating by the MPAA.
• Otis’ and Baby’s bizarre rants during the “home movie” segments are inspired by the Charles Manson family’s supposed home movies.

Here’s one that I had to look up years ago due to a debate on the topic LOL:

Karen Black plays Mother Firefly in this film, but due to a salary dispute prior to preproduction on its sequel The Devil’s Rejects (2005), Black was replaced by Leslie Easterbrook.

Check back tomorrow for Day 10.. more than likely Rob Zombie! -Suzi
