Holy shit. Really, Rob Zombie… Really? A fucking Woolite commercial? Why? Because of the money? You’ve slid downhill with your musical career, though granted, that isn’t really what you wanted to do after White Zombie anyway (According to an old Rolling Stone article), though I will admit a few tracks off Hellbilly 2 weren’t half bad. Your movie career is going to shit with those Halloween atrocities. I’m holding my breath for Lords Of Salem, but so far, from what I’ve heard, it doesn’t sound so great. What happened to Tyrannosaurus Rex? Granted, it was a shit title, but the premise sounded BAD ASS! What happened to that shit? And now you’re doing a Woolite commercial? Gotta pay the bills I guess. Check it out below:
The boils ‘n ghouls over at Shock Till You Drop have uncovered a bit more about Rob Zombie’s mysterious upcoming LORDS OF SALEM. To sum it up for you, going by the synopsis alone, I’m a bit worried about this one. What happened to Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Biker/Wrestler/Devil Worshiping Cult insanity he had been working on. THAT looked like it would’ve been a badass flick. Anyway, a bit of typo’d synopsis for ya:
Heidi, a blond rock chick, DJs at a local radio station, and together with the two Hermans (Whitey and Munster) forms part of the “Big H Radio Team.”
A mysterious wooden box containing a vinyl record arrives for Heidi, a gift of the Lords. She assumes it’s a rock band on a mission to spread to spread their word. As Heidi and Whitey play the Lord’s record, it starts to play backwards, and Heidi experiences a flashback to a past trauma.
Later, Whitey plays the Lord’s record, dubbing them the Lords of Salem, and to his surprise, the record plays normally and is a massive hit with his listeners.
The arrival of another wooden box from the Lords presents the Big H team with free tickets, posters and records to host a gig in Salem. Soon, Heidi and her cohorts is far from the rock spectacle they’re expecting. The original Lords or Salem are returning and they’re out for blood.
Just caught this, er, video of a video wherein Scout Taylor “Straight Outta” Compton talks about her feelings regarding the (possible…I hope not, but possible) upcoming Halloween 3, or H3, or H3-D, whatever the fuck they’re calling it. She doesn’t sound too terribly stoked. But hey, neither is most of the horror community.
Courtesy the boils ‘n ghouls over at ShockTillYouDrop, we get a glimpse at the Alternate Ending to Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN 2. I’ve hear a lot of folks taking a giant dump on this one, but, I gotta tell ya, I liked it. Before ya’ll start throwin’ hellfire my way, I’ll explain myself upon a second viewing, but, in short, I liked it because it felt more like HIS film than the first, and I can appreciate that. Anyhoo, check out the alternate ending below!
Hey there boils ‘n ghouls. As you may or may not have noticed, I haven’t updated BACKWOODSHORROR.COM for a while now. This is because, well, my prized MacBook had an unfortunate, let’s say, run-in with a glass of Chocolate Milk that may or may not have had a large quantity of alcohol within it’s murky, yet delicious depths. The tasty beverage somehow came into contact with the motherboard of said beautiful machine and, well, that’s all she wrote. I lost the most recent Backwoods Horrorshow and a computer I absolutely adored. I’ll have to get another, so, until then, expect updates to be somewhat more sporadic than usual. I’ll probably have to use my work lappy, as I’m doing now. I have some reviews to put up at some point in the very near future, including one for Rob Zombie’s latest epic, Halloween 2, which, I may add, I actually enjoyed from a certain standpoint.
My apologies.
Please say a prayer as my beloved MacBook passes through those dark gates in the forest of the dead to find peace with its forbears…crying is acceptable as well. COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF TEARS, PEOPLE!!!
I may have to replace it with a PC, which, really, makes me feel a little sick, but it’s cheaper and I just don’t have the cash right now for another MacBook…which, well, I got for free the first time.
Just caught a video interview with Rob Zombie for his upcoming HALLOWEEN 2, wherein he touches upon the “evolved” Michael Meyers, the music in the film, and sounds generally confused about the whole thing during the first part of the interview. Thanks to ComingSoon.net
Finally, we have word that one of Rob Zombie’s original projects THE HAUNTED WORLD OF EL SUPERBEASTO has a release date. Anchor Bay will be releasing the animated film on DVD and BLU-RAY on SEPTEMBER 22. Whenever cover art and specs hit the web, you’ll see it here!
Just spotted the new Halloween 2 HI-RES Trailer over at Fangoria. Check it out. I don’t know. I’ll check the flick out, but I don’t have high hopes. Can’t be worse than the first Rob Zombie Halloween outing, and, in fact, looks a bit more interesting.
Below is the new One Sheet/Poster from Rob Zombie’s upcoming Halloween 2, or, the shitty title, H2. There’s also a new pic from the film that makes no sense whatsoever, but actually appears to be the only photo from the film so far that intrigues me whatsoever. Some guy with a rotted pumpkin on his head. The Lord Of Halloween? Satan? Michael improvising when his mask gets fucked up? We’ll find out when the flick hits theaters this August:
