Clint Howard Playing Clown “Mr. Baggy Britches” In Rob Zombie’s ‘3 From Hell’!
Just yesterday, Rob Zombie teased the introduction of a new clown, “Mr. Baggy Britches”, in his now-filming 3 From Hell. I thought he looked a lot like Irwin Keyes‘ House of 1,000 Corpses character, Ravelli, who was seen in the opening of the film taking down a duo of local robbers alongside Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig). On the other hand, John Squires felt he looked more like Clint Howard, who appeared in Zombie’s Halloween, The Lords of Salem and even El Superbeasto. Squires has won that gentleman’s bet with Zombie confirming this morning that Howard will be portraying “Mr. Baggy Britches” in the House of 1,000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects sequel, which also boasts the return of Otis (Bill Moseley) and Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie). Yes, there will be two killer clowns in 3 From Hell…
Also starring is Austin Stoker (Assault on Precinct 13), Dee Wallace (E.T., The Howling, and Cujo), Jeff Daniel Phillips (Uncle Seymour Coffins in Zombie’s Halloween 2). Zombie also added another regular to his 3 From Hell cast, revealing the addition of Daniel Roebuck, who will be reprising his The Devil’s Rejects role of Morris Green, Ruggsville’s favorite TV personality.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
