I enjoyed Devil Rejects cause it was a total throw back to old school 70′s flicks. But I did think his trailer was look at all the cool friends I have.

I have the first issue of the original SPOOKSHOW comic, and it has stories featuring the characters of Dr. Satan, Otis and Baby Firefly. Having said that, IDW put out a one-shot DEVIL’S REJECTS anthology (that you can find free with the DVD if you’re lucky) and was reviewed by us, too, linked above.

At the time, having known Zombie only through his music, I expected to hate HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES, but loved it. I think it’s really underrated and exhibits a true love of horror movies. THE DEVIL’S REJECTS is great, too, partly because it is like a 180˚ from the original, despite being a sequel. How could you hate his GRINDHOUSE trailer? And I look forward to HALLOWEEN, too.

Bah! I still haven’t seen a single piece of Rob Zombie entertainment that I actually enjoyed. That goes for his movies too.

Spookshow has the type of humor that only appeals to some. It can get annoying sometimes but mostly because it seems repetitive in a 200-page volume. The sexist jokes come with the territory and I wouldn’t go as far as say it “borders on misogyny.” I think the outrageousness of the characters is the whole point. I tend to like Rob Zombie’s brand of humor but I believe it works better when it’s reined in by other story elements like in his two movies. I seem to remember that the stories based on the characters from “The Devil’s Rejects” came out in a separate publication but I might be wrong.
