Rob Zombie Teases ‘House of 1000 Corpses’ Book With Rare Photos, Original Script and More!
Rob Zombie’s debut horror feature House of 1000 Corpses just celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, and Zombie has taken to Instagram this week to announce that a brand new making-of book will be joining last year’s Blu-ray re-release as part of the celebration.
Zombie writes this afternoon, “To celebrate the 21st anniversary of House of 1000 Corpses being released, I thought I would give you a sneak peek at the House of 1000 Corpses book that I have been working on. This thing is packed with rare photos, blueprints, storyboards, makeup tests and my original script with all my handwritten notes and sketches.”
“Coming your way soon,” Zombie notes in the Instagram post, which includes a series of rare behind the scenes photographs that will be appearing in the upcoming making-of book.
The photos from Zombie’s personal collection feature stars Sid Haig, Bill Moseley, and Sheri Moon Zombie, taking us behind the scenes of the film’s production. You’ll also find a hand-drawn early sketch of the character who became known as The Professor, along with a couple shots that show Walter Phelan getting into costume as the iconic Dr. Satan.
We expect the upcoming book will feature a whole lot more of these relics from Zombie’s archives, and we’ll be sure to keep you posted as we learn more about its release. Stay tuned.
When House of 1000 Corpses slashed its way into theaters 21 years ago, 1970s-style horror – and camp – returned with bone-snapping, scream-inducing vengeance. Zombie’s directorial debut, this first film of a trilogy introduced the Firefly family, backwoods sadists who plunge two young couples into a nightmare world of torture, satanic ritual, and cannibalism.
House of 1000 Corpses was of course followed by the more grounded-in-reality sequel The Devil’s Rejects, with 3 from Hell more recently bringing the characters back to life in 2019.

The new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), the upcoming Weapons is assembling an impressive cast, with Josh Brolin (Dune 2) and Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) recently signing on. Deadline reports today that Alden Ehrenreich (Cocaine Bear) is the latest actor to join the cast of Cregger’s new movie.
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
