such detail with such a small budget. The next scene starts the movie off, with the 4 young adults on their cross country book writing road trip played by (Chris Hardwick, Erin Daniels, Rainn Wilson and Jennifer Jostyn).
It's late at night there low fuel light comes on, and that's where the story gets crazy. As they pull into Captain Spauldings Museum of Monsters and Madness with fried Chicken and gasoline for comedic humor. They get a taste of what demented freaks are ahead of them, when they go on the Murder Joy Ride. Only relazing this, that local legend Dr. Satan was hung only 2 miles from here. The young adults get there directions to the tree leave with there fried chicken, and pick up a hitchhicker down the road named Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie). She is beautiful in a demented hardcore manson way. That your like yeah I will drive you home, which makes you understand how she is probably such a great murderer with her looks alone with the fellas. The car breaks down infront of the firefly house, which takes a turn into pure hell. Rob Zombie is a great director, he isn't scared to be bold, brutal and real. Modern day horror movies they make today Rob Zombie does do the greatest. House of 1000 Corpses isn't your every day asian girl chasing you in the television type of horror movie.

At somepoints in the movie it was tuff, due to Zombie editing out 40 minutes of the movie for it's release. Because I could easily tell the edits here and there. In a recent Q&A with Mosley I asked him, what did Zombie have to edit out that was so bad. Bill Mosley said and I quote "Everything he had to edit was pure bolongie, alot of it was rambling on. I still hope one day for that unrated full version of House of 1000 Corpses. Until then The masterpiece, the legend R rated version of House of 1000 Corpses will do just as good.
House of 1000 Corpses gets 5 out of 5 dead bodies
