[The_Return]

This movie sounds really awesome. But I asked my dad, and theres no chance I get to see this one till I can pass for 18, or get some friends that can.

So, could you please post any and all spoilers you can? Thanks alot!

Im especially intrigued bt Dr. Satan, none of the reviews have said hardly anything about him. Whats his story?

Oops on that last post.

Kool pics.....Any chance of some story to go along with 'em?

I said in the initial post that I wanted to know bout Dr. Satan. Well, I do....but I meant Capt. Spaulding, lol. Actually....the main things d like to know are anything possible bout the characters.

Here is a link to some short bios:

Dr. Spaulding is a brilliantly played character, by the way.

Dude, i recommend you have a sleep over at a friends house with more liberal parents and rent H1kC and a few others your dad won't let you watch!;)

[urgeok]

this movie had the closest feel to the origional Texas Chainsaw than any other.

I hope Rob Zombie keeps going on this...
He has the potential to be the John Waters of horror ..

maybe even make - go figure - a zombie film ?

Pfff


To convince my friends to watch the original Dotd and TCM with me, I had to lie and say that I rented the remakes, and got those by mistake.

They have no taste in horror. We'd end up renting Resident Evil and The Ring...:rolleyes:

It's not any worse than TCM.

My mom made me watch RHPS when I was 9. As soon as House of 1000 Corpses came out she knew me well enough to take me...17 now...ah, I need id.

Great movie though...well...good movie. If you really tried I'm sure you could get away with watching it. Try coming up with a rational explanation as I used to die my hair various bright, unnatural colors. "Mother this is merely a phase I'm going through. Not paying for the hair die not only squelches my individuality but also causes me to place bad associations with your role in my upbring." She handed me a twenty and some bleach. You can bullshit your way through life if only you put a little effort into it.

[EXTR3MIST]

After being hyped as "the return of hardcore horror", House of 1000 Corpses was a massive disappointment.

Sure, there were good bits - Sid Haig, most of the "family" members, the casual murder of the policeman, lots of screaming and surreal imagery... but the blatant tributes to the likes of TCM and The Hills Have Eyes leaves one with the impression that copying the style of these original classics is the only way to try and stand out from the current safe mainstream offerrings.

It isn't - murderous nutty Texan families have been done to death, and Corpses breaks no taboos, steps over any boundries or even has a single truly memorable set piece to offer.

Still, one of the better movies of the past couple of years.

maybe coz im a newbie to horror but when I watched "House.." i was truely disturbed for a few seconds after. I loved the way that it was so far from a happy story & focusing too much on the victims characters in the story..instead they replaced this with what I found true barbaric scenes. I loved the family, that they mixed disturbance with comedy really well because too much weirdness would have made the film seem tacky whereas characters like Dr.Spauldling and the tall family member(forgot his name) kept a sense of humour element intact. Or perhaps it was all down the fact I wasnt expecting much, me and my gfriend were totally bored one day & I saw that it was directing by Rob Zombie I was interested by this, obviously I rented this knowing that it was a horror but I did not expect what I found...ha either did she.

IMO this film is not a classic, although I strongly enjoyed the film, if you want to see something different do the best you can to see this movie, if it doesnt bother you to miss 90 minutes of torture then dont worry, aside from that you arent missing anything legendary.

***Spoiler***

As for Dr. Satan(what a crap name) he was heavely disapointing, he was part organic part machine & just tortured people, he is meant to be a legend in that local town & to be honest I forget the connection that ties the family with him.
But if you meant Spaulding, well..he is the key character in my eyes.

Thank you Ghost, you have came the closest so far to telling me what I wanted to know.


But Id still like any and all info on the familly, I dont care much bout some, but any spoiler info about Spaulding, Otis, Dr. Satan, and especially Tiny would be apricated.
