Rob Zombie Shares His 2016 Halloween Horror Movie Playlist
How does Rob Zombie celebrate Halloween? The same way we all do!
Though he may be a hugely successful musician and filmmaker, Rob Zombie is, at the end of the day, one of us. In addition to making horror films, he shares a lifelong passion for watching them, and that almost always bleeds through in both his music and movies. Hell, the very first image seen in House of 1000 Corpses, Zombie’s debut feature, is actually from James Whale’s under-seen gem The Old Dark House, so he damn sure knows horror as well as any of us.
Of course, there’s no better time to watch horror movies than in the month of October, and over on his Instagram account (@RobZombieOfficial), Zombie just highlighted some of the horror films he and wife Sheri Moon Zombie have been watching this month. It seems there’s been a black & white horror marathon going on in the Zombie household.
The Zombie-thon has thus far included classic films like The Mummy’s Hand (1940), The Invisible Ray (1936), The Black Cat (1934), The Raven (1935), Horror of Dracula (1958), King Kong (1933), House of Frankenstein (1944), and Carnival of Souls (1962).
The Zombies sure do love their classic horror!
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.”
