Horror Nights ’09: Rob Zombie on ‘The Blob’ and Making Music
We’ve got more interviews from the opening night of Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights, which is now ongoing through the end of the month. Beyond the break you’ll find our exclusive chat with Rob Zombie from the red carpet of the Chiller Eyegore Awards where he talks about The Blob remake, along with the future of music.
We were lucky enough to catch Rob Zombie for a few minutes on the red carpet before he headed in to accept an award. We asked him about his progress writing the latest BLOG remake, which he was announced to write and direct last month.
“I’m about halfway [done],” he tells Bloody Disgusting adding that he really doesn’t know what the Blob will look like just yet. “I’m still working on it, so I cant really say… I was thinking, you know, it wasn’t going to be a big red globby thing. I don’t know what it IS going to be, it’s more like I know what I DON’T want it to be.”
He also confirms that he’d like to once again work with DP Brandon Trost, who did the cinematography for HALOWEEN II. “Yeah, I loved Brandon, he’s great.” Although, it’s so early that it’s impossible to know if he’ll be involved or not.
We also chatted briefly about the recent news circulating that Zombie’s forthcoming album will be his last. “No, Ill keep making records. I think I said something about the final CD meaning I think about in a year, they literally won’t manufacture CDs anymore.”
We also asked him what type of business model he’s interested in for the future of music distribution. “I don’t know, I don’t know what people are going to do, because once CDs are literally dead, what do you do? Have a song of the month club or something?” We also asked him as a fan, if he’s ever felt ripped off by purchasing a CD and then putting the music on an iPod. “What I do that I hate is I still buy CDs, put it on my iPod and literally forget that I bought the CD because it’s mixed in with literally 15,000-f*cking-songs. Whereas [before iPods] you had the album and listened to it a million times.“
Director Sébastien Vaniček has been set to helm the next Evil Dead movie, but up first from the filmmaker is the creepy crawly spider horror movie Infested. An exclusive new clip gives a discomfiting closer look at the spider terror, and it’ll make you intensely afraid of all bathroom drains and fixtures.
Infested will induce a new wave of arachnophobia this week; the spider horror film arrives on Shudder on April 26, 2024.
If you’re brave enough to face your fears, watch the new clip below to get a feel for the unrelenting wave of spiders that the characters (and the audience) will face in the film.
In the film, “An underprivileged suburb has been thrown into chaos following an invasion of venomous spiders. Ordered to be placed in quarantine, the project sees inhabitants living on lockdown alongside terrifying spiders that are becoming bigger and bigger.
“The story revolves around Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend.
“Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally lets it slip away.”
Théo Christine (“Suprêmes”), Finnegan Oldfield (“Final Cut”), Jérôme Niel (“Smoking Causes Coughing”), Sofia Lesaffre (“Les Misérables”) and Lisa Nyarko star.
Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.
In his review out of Fantastic Fest last year, Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman raved that Infested (aka Vermines) is “one of the best spider attack movies in years,” noting in his 4-star review that the creature feature uses practical spiders – REAL SPIDERS – as much as possible. Thurman also wrote that the spider horror movie is “full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening).”
The spiders will be everywhere in Infested, are you ready?
