Anyone else seen ads for House of 1000 Corpses yet?

[JohnL]

I've seen an ad for it several times in the past couple days.

Saw a trailer for it when watching WILLARD a couple of weeks ago.  Hard to tell of course, but it looks promising.

Just picked up the soundtrack yesterday.  I usually hate compilation movie soundtracks, but listening to it is like watching a creepy exploitation movie in your mind.  The songs are all very cool, a direction I hope Zombie takes in future records, and the music from the movie's score is like a more purposeful version of that disturbing ambient electronica from old 70's expo flicks.

The NY Times had an article in Sunday's "Arts And Leisure" about the movie's studio problems delaying the release for so long. Probably nothing in it that diehard horror and B-movie fans don't already know, but it was interesting to see "The Paper of Record" paying attention such attention to a genre film. You can probably read the article online for the next week or so at nytimes.com, but they do required registration.

I have the entire film downloaded on my computer and have watched it many times.

It's a kickass movie!

The only bad thing is that I have the R rated version (not the gory unrated version) and while watching it you can tell where certain cuts were made.

Other than that it rocks!

I'm in the UK waiting patiently for this flick. I have heard mixed reviews about it but its a horror movie and I always see them whether they are good or bad. But oh god movies are so bad these days.

Theaters air lots of trailers, but when the ads start showing up on TV, it signals that it will be hitting theaters soon.

For example, I saw a trailer for Lost Souls when I went to see The Blair Witch Project, but the movie didn't come out until a year later.

But I saw a trailer as well, in front of 'They'.  The movie opens this Friday at a theatre near you.  Frankly I enjoyed it more when they called it The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2.  This movie has 'take advantage of the rent one get one free special at Bradley' written all over it.  Sorry, but none of the footage I have seen of it looks impressive.

I must agree Chadzilla, I will probably see it due to all the hype and because zombies are the second best creatures (after werewolves). However, none of the previews have seemed to make any sense or instilled any fear at all into the hearts of men.

Ive seen the begining and i must say it has one of the funniest lines i've heard muttered in a while.

               I've seen the TV ads for this film on WWE Smackdown last week,and on MTV2 this weekend,and while it looks like it won't make any lucky shot to the top of the box office charts once it's finally released(Lions Gate didn't heavily advertise this movie both in the theaters,and two weks in advance,via TV),we all have to admit that Rob Zombie has masterfully used the art of internet hype in succeeding in getting this film a much wider theaterical release(and,a theatrical release,instead of it being dumpd straight onto video) than Lions Gate had originally planned for it,as well as building strong public interest for it(despite the fact that this film really sucks,but that's another story too lengthy to get into...).

WWE ???? MTV2 ????

i saw it last night! i was really sexcited and i paid $9! and it totally SUCKED ASS FARTS@!!  ive never really been a huge fan of rob zombie but i respected him and i thought he was cool! i figured he knows a hot chick and a good horror movie but sadly i was proven very wrong! not only was the movie not scary or even unique the chicks werent even hot! the one chick that was kinda hot dressed like him and was so annoying it sucked all the hot out of her! it was all cliches and the jokes that they HAD to keep cracking were horrible! and it wasnt even scary in the slightest! and i saw darkness falls! and it was awful! but even that kept me up a few nights!  this movie i couldnt even make fun of!!  and that guy that used to host singled out and now hosts a really good show called shipmates got fat and decided to be in this movie and ruin it more! god i HATED it! and i was trying SOOO hard to like it! and my heart broke i had to let it go and confess to myself that it was crap. but i did fall for tiny, even tho he was just another gay cliche (it rhymes!) it was a bad rip off of a lot of horror movies but MOSTLY texas chainsaw massacre only covered in diarrhea.

THE ONLY GOOD THIS ABOUT THIS MOVIE!!!:
if you go, there is a scene where theres about 10 seconds of silence it seems a lot longer and everyone in the theatre shuts up,  at this point you have one of the best opportunities you will ever have in your life to fart really loud and win the heart of some fine young lass such as myself, if you dont have it in you just make a fart noise!  
i was really hoping someone would do it so i could leap across the seats and make fart love to him or her but it didnt happen, then i thought HEY! I CAN DO IT!! IM GONNA! but then the moment was over and my chance was lost forever.

love colleen

It isn't playing here at all....ridiculous for a town with as many movie theaters as mine has.

[Ash]

Ignore her....

To take her at her mispelled words and incorrect grammar would be unwise.

Alas.....do not listen to her for she knows not what she's talking about.

This film rocks!

The trick is to not take it seriously like many of you often do with other films.

Just let yourself relax and go with the flow.

It's a definite must see!
