Review: 3 From Hell

Either you dig on Rob Zombie's grindhouse, white-trash sensibilities or you don't. He can be hit and miss for me. I actually liked what he did with Halloween, both the 2007 version and its sequel, but had a hard time getting behind some of his other work (I'm talking about YOU, Lords of Salem!). Hence I went into 3 From Hell with a little trepidation. I appreciate House of 1000 Corpses for what it is, but got a lot more enjoyment out of The Devil's Rejects. Taking the sadistic villains from one movie, and essentially making them the sadistic "heroes" of another was a ballsy move, and Zombie made it work. Thankfully what worked in The Devil's Rejects still works 14 years later with 3 From Hell. Yes, Otis, Baby, Captain Spaulding and newcomer Winslow Foxworth Coltrane are horrible people, and do horrible things to other people, but I found myself rooting for them by the end. Bill Moseley summed it up best during my interview with him; there's a par...

The Bill Moseley interview and 3 From Hell

Summer break is over, and The Basement Boys are back. And they've brought genre icon Bill Moseley with them! Jay sat down to discuss Bill's return to arguably one of his most iconic roles; Otis Firefly from Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. And you can see Bill as Otis once again when 3 From Hell opens on Sept 16. Bill discusses how Zombie brought the Firefly clan back for one more killing spree, what it was like getting into Otis' mindset after a 14-year break, and why these films and characters endure. Bill is a class act with a great sense of humour, and he and Jay had a great 12-minute conversation. So yeah, ya'll need to hear this one! And Jason and Shaw get into 3 From Hell as well. Yup, they've seen this bad boy, and sound off on it in a feature discussion. NOT a review, as those don't come out until next week. But they have a few words to say about it. Shawn also gets political again about some other stuff, and...

Bill Moseley brings 3 From Hell to The Basement

It was a good day in The Basement. A very good day indeed. Today I had the geek-filled joy of interviewing genre icon Bill Moseley about his upcoming movie 3 From Hell, which of course is written and directed by some guy named Rob Zombie! Suffice to say, The Dude abides... But yes, it's a great interview with a man who clearly loves horror, playing the character of Ottis, and these movies. We talked about revisiting the world Zombie started with House of 1000 Corpses and continued in The Devil's Rejects, what it's like working with Sheri Moon Zombie and Sid Haig, and a whole lot more. We packed a lot into the 10 minutes I was allowed to speak with Bill, and we made it count. Shawn and I can't unleash this interview until closer to 3 From Hell's Sept. 16th release, so look for it after our annual summer break. We'll also have a feature discussion about the movie. It's worth the wait... promise! Stick with us!

The MONTH of HORROR - Day 21: The Lords of Salem

The Salem Witch Trials were a notorious period in American history, and over time it's been over-exaggerated to the point where many believe it was some kind of genocide however the amount of deaths that occurred were not extreme. I'm not making light of this horrible time, not at all but with twenty confirmed executions, it certainly was not the all out slaughter-fest that some fables, stories, and lore over the years have instilled in us. The stories are intriguing though, what if there really were witches who were communicating with the dark lord Satan? What if there was some truth to all this?

Two new images from Rob Zombie's the Lords of Salem

Get ready horror nerds, Rob Zombie 's latest foray into fucked up will hit April 26 courtesy of those fine bastards at Anchor Bay Entertainment . To celebrate, we're showing off two -- count 'em two -- pics from The Lords of Salem . The images feature Zombie fave Sid Haig ( House of 1,000 Corpses ) and genre veteran Michael Berryman as a couple of witch hunters. Because the movie is about witches and shit. What's the official line on The Lords of Salem? Residents of Salem, Massachusetts are visited by a 300-year-old coven of witches. Zombie's wife, Sheri Moon Zombie , plays a key role in the mayhem that follows. Now for those pics, mofos!
