About House of 1000 Corpses

House of 1000 Corpses is a 2003 American black comedy horror film written, co-scored, and directed by Rob Zombie in his directorial debut, and starring Sid Haig, Bill Moseley, Sheri Moon, Karen Black, Rainn Wilson, Chris Hardwick, Tom Towles, Erin Daniels, Jennifer Jostyn, Walton Goggins, and Dennis Fimple in his final role. The plot centers on a group of four young adults who are kidnapped and tortured by a psychopathic family during Halloween 1977 while traveling across the country researching a book on roadside attractions. Inspired by 1970s horror films such as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) and The Hills Have Eyes (1977), Zombie conceived the film while designing a haunted house attraction for Universal Studios Hollywood, where filming took place in 2000 on the backlots and in Valencia, California. When Universal Pictures shelved the film after it received an NC-17 rating, Zombie reacquired the rights. They were eventually sold to Lions Gate Films, who recut the film and released it on April 11, 2003. Despite receiving an unfavorable response from critics, it went on to gross $16 million worldwide. Since its release, the film has achieved a cult following, was developed into a haunted house attraction by Zombie for Universal Studios, and was followed by two sequels forming the Firefly trilogy: The Devil's Rejects (2005) and 3 from Hell (2019).
