If only they started the anthology thing by having "Season of the Witch" be Halloween 2 instead of continuing the Michael Myers story of the first movie, it would of been a much better franchise then the whole stupid thorn trilogy
Loved hearing your thoughts Cody! We don't always agree but I always find your analysis to be really intriguing and always love hearing your perspective!
Rob Zombie has said that the reason Dr Satan doesn't appear in the Devil's Rejects is because he felt the character wouldn't suit the tone of the film. I heard there are deleted scenes with him but I've never seen them. He's also suggested that in House of 1000 Corpses the Dr Satan parts might have been a hallucination.
He’s in one deleted scene where he’s in the hospital after the Firefly compound gets raided, and he wakes up and rips out the throat of his nurse, played by Rosario Dawson.
The reporters did in the second movie say that the devils rejects *drugged*, kidnapped, and tortured their hundreds of victims before killing them. Towards the beginning of the kovie.
He definitely wouldn’t have fit TDR movie, I mean he could’ve just said it’s because he was underground. He didn’t have to cop out and say it was a “hallucination” that’s pretty stupid.
Great video cody and list!! Mine is 1- Devils Rejects 2- Halloween 3- Halloween 2 4- House of 1000 corpses 5- the munsters 6- 31 7- Lords of Salem 8- 3 from hell
why? i hate devils rejects it’s so unbelievable and every one is so stupid he’s an pure edge lord, house of 1000 corpses was super unique and it was weird but it was great devils rejects is just why
So glad you recognize the brilliance that is RZH2. I've felt that way since 2009 and finally am seeing bigger critics feel the same way. My ranking of his films is very close to yours, except I jumped ship before 31.
I thought I was so alone here! I enjoyed it and liked it so much more than the first one. When I hear people flay this I always would stop and think, “am I crazy? I thought this was kinda neat.”
@@aidanlastname0187 Uh-oh you didn’t agree with Cody. You’ll be getting a smart-ass reply from him I bet. He can’t take someone not fully agreeing with him. He will just say “K”
Somewhat poetic ending to " The Devils Rejects " ? That may be my most favorite final moment of any horror movie and I have been watching horror movies since the mid 1980's. It is just the perfect song for the perfect final scene.
Respect that you aren’t the biggest Rob Zombie Fan despite me adoring him😁 I’m just glad you gave the movies a fair shot! My favorite of his is definitely The Devil’s Rejects❤️
Agreed the Devils Rejects is not only his best movie but one of the best movies of that time! The rest is not up to par though. But I actually did like the Lords of Salem
@@RobertBurns71405 Halloween II is actually an impressive movie, in the sense that its so draining and depressing and brutal. Like the first one, I really dont feel like Zombie is the problem. Its the main actress, she is the most annoying actress I have ever seen, I can't watch it because of her
First time watching your channel, I find it awesome that you have different opinions than everyone else and you actually go very in depth as to why and makes me rethink about my own opinions. Awesome
Most awkward moment ever being in a Salvation Army halfway House watching House of a 1000 Corpes when Mrs Major stopped by. 2nd most awkward moment ever someone was playing Friends with Benifts when mrs stopped by. DVDs were banned not long after.
I can’t but agree with Cody’s take on lords of Salem. It is the one that just gets under your skin simple! Not my favorite but it might be his best direction so far I haven’t thought of that until this wonderful ranking!! Thanks Cody 🤘🏻
I would have to agree with most of your rankings except that I would switch House of a 1000 Corpses with Halloween 2. I have yet to watch 31 and 3 From Hell. I also have a copy of the theatrical versions of both Halloween movies coming from Australia. My introduction to Rob Zombie's films was House of a 1000 Corpses so I have a bit of a soft spot for it, but I still think it holds up more than H2. Otherwise, after I watch the others, I'll get back to you. Also, thumbs up just for the Capt Spaulding makeup!!
You’re not alone, I too consider Halloween 2 to be his best movie! I actually really enjoy it, and you pointed out a lot of the reasons why. A couple other things are that the mask is epic, and I really enjoy the nightmare hospital sequence! With the amount of trauma she’s been through, of course she would have night terrors like that. Anyways though awesome video!
For some reason, the munsters got really really funny during the 3rd act for me. As rough as the first 45 minutes are, I think that Zombie does an okay job setting up room for more sequels, and I’m pretty much on board for that. Halloween 2 is underrated
Really munsters was held back by two things, the limited direct to video budget, and the universal executives telling him things like "no black and white, make it more hip for the kids."
Top 5 Favorite Intro you have ever done. Well Played Sir. His magnum Opus is still The Devils Rejects to me. Most of us kind of new what you MIGHT pick :D. Appreciated the upload.
I must be the only one in the world that loved The Munsters. It took me fifteen or twenty minutes to settle into his world, but once I did, I thought the film was inventive and beautiful and the actors brought a great sense of humor to the screen. Plus, the throwbacks and references worked. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll get the sequel.
I just found your channel recently and subscribed. I’m with you on his Halloween 2. Seen it in theaters opening night and have loved it ever since. Great ranking man!
I actually caught 3 From Hell in the theatre during it's limited release. I had a fun time, however, I can see why someone would put it on the bottom of the list.
The fact that he has movies (and albums) that his fans don't even like, I think says a lot about Rob Zombie's inability to write scripts and music that have any interest. All he writes is "ocus poccus" and that's it. Behind so many lights, pyrotechnics, makeup and spells, there is nothing, the more you try to delve into what it does, you see that there is nothing behind it, just a magic trick for children. A shame.
As usual, a nice list Sir - we’d probably disagree at which point his movies become ‘good,’ but otherwise not too much difference in the order. Glad to see some of his films have grown on you, especially 31, which I wasn't expecting after you breathed fire at it all those years ago. 1) The Devil’s Rejects: an obvious choice, sure, but sometimes the obvious choice is obvious for a very good reason 2) Halloween II: I really enjoyed this one, and it seems like you’re one of the few who’d agree 3) Halloween: remaking the original film with his own inimitable Rob Zombie style was a curious mix, and one that doesn’t totally work (the first half could have been trimmed quite a bit), but better than it has any right to 4) 31: after his Halloween movies & Lords of Salem left a bad taste in a lot of mouths, it seemed like he made this as a ‘for-the-fans’ flick, with all of his stylistic trademarks in full view; since I, overall, enjoy his movies more than you do, I also liked this one more than you did. 5) Lords of Salem: a big departure for him, as he tried for a slower, moodier, supernatural style, and it worked better than I expected 6) 3 from Hell: the near-absence of Sid Haig, and of course the cops from the previous movie, really hurt this one; nobody, even Zombie himself, really seemed to have their heart in it 7) House of 1000 Corpses: the only film of his I didn’t like at all (though, unlike 3 from Hell, it’s not boring); style to burn, of course, but not really at the service of anything The three middle films (#3 through #5) are all pretty close; were I making this list tomorrow they might be in a different order, but the rest are pretty set. Haven’t seen The Munsters yet, though I don’t have high hopes for it. Cheers and have a Happy Halloween.
Petition for you to play Spaulding in a reboot please 🙏 that opening was epic! I'm not a big fan of RZ personally but my favourite is actually Lords of Salem, I like that it was stripped back more and that Zombie showed restraint until that ending; wish he'd do this more than the garishly over the top stuff he sticks to.
I had to go back twice by the time you hit Lord's of Salem thinking I missed it.. I understand the middle finger in the pic for the video now.. No problems dude, do your thing always please!!
Just like Cody I think Rob is a great director and an awful writer, but unlike Cody I can actually enjoy how god awful and trashy the writing can be(so bad that it’s good kind of thing!). Now here is my list: 8. The Munsters(so disappointing and boring to the point that I wish Rob would make it a hard R rated movie with trashy dialogue! Sheri moon was too much for me!) 7. 3 From Hell(didn’t like this unnecessary movie and Sheri moon was too much for me!) 6. House Of Thousand Corpses(it’s weird and all over the place! Some cool elements for sure, but feels really unprofessional) 5. The Lords Of Salem(this movie is so bizarre. I loved the concept and some of the side characters(specially Bruce Davison!), but this is another movie that Sheri Moon kinda ruined for me. She is so boring in this one! 4. 31(I actually liked the concept but hated most of the killers(specially the dwarf!!). Sheri Moon was really boring in this one, but I did like the rest of the victims at least… and Doom Head was great. 3. Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2(I have a lot of problems with this movie but I love some things about it. I think the dream sequence is one of the best in the franchise and Brad Dourif is amazing! And I hated Sheri Moon in this one!) 2. Rob Zombie’s Halloween(I really like most of the film aspects, from Loomis to Michael childhood and the trashy characters like Noel and Ronnie are really enjoyable to me and Sheri Moon is decent in the one) 1. The Devil׳s Rejects(I really like this movie!! Sid Haig and Ken Foree are so funny in this one. Sheri Moon is surprisingly good and Bill Mosley is a savage. Chicken guy and the Sheriff are also good. I like the kills and the brutality in this movie!)
I totally agree on your take on Halloween 2. It’s so great to see it finally getting some love. The trauma of Lauri is handled so well and the beginning when they wheel her in always gives me chills. I also think it’s nice how loomis has a redemption arc going on. But yeah, the horse thing is kinda lame.
Rob zombie was actual gonna make a halloween trilogy with the first one being just about Michael's child hood, the 2nd one being the night that he escaped, and the 3rd one was just the actual 2nd one
rotten tomatoes ranking: 8. House of 100 Corpses (21%) 7. Halloween II (23%) 6. Halloween (28%) 5. Lords of Salem (46%) 4. 31 (47%) 3. The Munsters (52%) 2. Devils Rejects (55%) 1. 3 From Hell (58%) average score: 41.25%
Rob Zombie movies are actually really unique. They have a different "feel" than any other films. They make me feel sick but I still watch them now and then. The best is Devils Rejects but the worst to me is 31. I cant even get through that one. The Halloween movies would actually be ok, but the main actress is annoying as hell, she ruined the films more than Zombies writing
Nice list Mr Cody. Do you know about Rob Zombies Haunted World of El Superbeasto? It is an R rated animated movie about a luchador wrestler I believe, I haven’t seen it myself but would like too. 🤘
Zombies halloween 2 is one of my favorite slashers. I throughly enjoy the deep dive into the psychological effects of how the horrific events Laurie encountered would effect her, how we can't escape our DNA and Brad dourif is amazing
Agreed. I never understood the hate this movie gets. Is it perfect....no. But what slasher is? Love the character study, love the kills, love the Loomis arc.
Love your content! Great reviews on the Zombie films and I was waiting for the ranking! I have a love/hate relationship with his films too and for some reason excited every time he has a new project, but I am not sure why. My ranking is Much Different though 1 The devils Rejects 2 Halloween 3 House of 1000 Corpses 4 Halloween 2 5 3 From Hell 6 Lords of Salem 7 31 8 The Munster's (I thought this would be his mainstream breakthrough) Honorable Mention The Haunted World of El Superbeasto I would love to see your review for 2001 Maniacs and 2001 Maniacs Field of Screams!
i’ve only seen his Halloween films, The Devil’s Rejects and House of 1000 Corpses, but i will say his cinematography in those is amazing. i’m much more of a music fan when it comes to Rob Zombie, his first 2 albums are Alt Metal classics
I always felt that Rob should've had Richard Brake play Doom-Head in 3 From Hell. Just have him be a rogue assassin that either knows the Firefly family, or gets hired to break them out.
17:56 The most hilarious thing about the white horse is that the book where the passage giving the pretentious explanation about it at the start symbolising purity and rage is from doesn't exist.
This was the first time I have ever seen your views on Rob Zombie. Saying that, I appreciate your opinion and I love the way you deliver your point of view. I love different opinions, you made several valid points. In my opinion spot on! Your seem to be a fan, and has an opinion that has true love regardless of how disappointed you get! I'm here to listen from today on! Thanks, I got some laughs when you call out how some people can't handle ANY other person's opinion, cause, DAMN! I will be back, for sure!
"Opinions are like assholes...doesnt mean I have to be one." 🤣🤣🤣 Nah, was genuinely curious how you were gonna rank these 👏 respect! Great vid as always!
You have the ability of taking what was already in my head and putting it into actual words lol. And you had such a good point about how we rarely got to see anything about such a cool character such as dr Satan. Great list and breakdown. I haven’t seen ALL of the films on this list, but godddd his Halloween 2 was absolutely dreadful in my opinion.
Cody. I love you man. I love that you're passionate and that most of the time our opinions drastically vary. That is why I watch your channel, you sir live and breathe movies and that is a passion of mine. My List: 8) Lords of Salem (I fell asleep on it) 7) 31 6) 3 From Hell 5) Halloween II 4) Halloween 3) House of 1,000 Corpses 2) The Munsters 1) The Devil's Rejects
Zombie's second Halloween is far from my favorite in the series, but the fact that it isn't on Resurrection's level makes it a forgivable entry in my book.
You're not alone for Halloween 2. I enjoyed that one, and the original. This'll probably put me on the chopping block, but honestly, those are the ones I'll probably rewatch first over the very first one. Oh, but you forgot the Haunted World Of El Superbeasto!
Of the one’s I’ve seen 6. 31 5. Lords of Salem 4. House of 1000 Corpses 3. Halloween 2. The Haunted World of El Superbeasto (an animated film he made in ‘09, that a lot of people seem to forget about) 1. The Devil’s Rejects Love his music. Hate his movies, except Devil’s Rejects, with the fire of 1000 suns.
Love your intro Cody Not into RZ movies..but big fan of his music dince ive heard him in Bride of Chucky RZ Halloween are ok at best, but honestly if you remove the shaky cam out of it, i might have rewatched them more often
Your intro and video was f'n amazing cody. Out of his movies that I've seen here is my ranking. 1. Halloween 2 2. The Devil's Rejects 3. Halloween 1 4. House of 1000 corpses 5. 31 6. 3 from hell
Interesting list and though I was initially puzzled as to why you put his second Halloween film at the top of your list, I can understand your reasoning. However, I think House of 1,000 Corpses should have ranked a little higher as I consider it one of his best moves.
Hey Cody howd you like that dancing cat part in 3 From Hell? My jaw hit the floor at that moment lol and facepaint is real nice. You guys did an awesome job on it
I didn't like lord's of Salem the first time I saw it, but after a few more watches, I think it's just a bit underrated. It could be considered a diamond in the rough, though I like most of his movies. I don't love them, but I enjoy them well enough.
Honestly I feel like Rob Zombies Halloween works far better if you don’t take it too seriously and treat it as a horror comedy. That breakfast scene is so disgusting and vile that it’s HILARIOUS.
Oh God! I am at the beginning of this and I am already scared because all I can hear in my head is "I've given up! Dude! For the love of god...let someone else write your f'ing movies!" from your review of the Munsters! LOL. I can only imagine what I am in for with this video!
Cody if he was into the Juggalo scene 😂
Technically Halloween 3 should be considered the most "unique" Halloween film! 😆
The SeAsOn oF ThE WiTcH!! Owwwwww lol
Halloween 3 is a fun movie
@@rticle15 I agree. I'm not knocking it but I'm just replying to Cody's comment about Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 being the most unique in the series.
True
If only they started the anthology thing by having "Season of the Witch" be Halloween 2 instead of continuing the Michael Myers story of the first movie, it would of been a much better franchise then the whole stupid thorn trilogy
Omg! I loved the intro Cody!!!
I do appreciate his vision on Halloween 1 and Halloween 2 🎃. I enjoy them for what they are.
The opening hospital scene in H2 is a horror masterpiece
@@tylerwatts3347 I agree,that opening scene was amazing.Then it turned into shit right after that.
@@mb-pc3zn Cody Leech disagrees
The fact that you went all out for the makeup, passion makes us do crazy things! Great video man!
Already off to a great start with that intro! XD Nice touch!
Loved hearing your thoughts Cody! We don't always agree but I always find your analysis to be really intriguing and always love hearing your perspective!
Feel the exact same!
You missed 1 rob zombie movie. The haunted world of El superbeasto.
I like that one but seen it as a kid way to young for it lol
I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!

Top 5 Favorite Intro you have ever done. Well Played Sir. His magnum Opus is still The Devils Rejects to me. Most of us kind of new what you MIGHT pick :D. Appreciated the upload.
I really appreciate your unique opinion on this list. For me
3. Halloween 2
2. House of 1000 corpses
1. The Devils Rejects
exact same
Halloween 2, really?
Halloween 2 was horrible.
I loved Halloween 2 and straight up cried when Annie died. He handled that scene brilliantly.
Same
His Halloween 2 is genuinely one of the worst films I've ever suffered
It’s wierd to see how low standards are for movies 😂
Brad Dourif the one and only Chucky/Charles Lee Ray
I must be the only one in the world that loved The Munsters. It took me fifteen or twenty minutes to settle into his world, but once I did, I thought the film was inventive and beautiful and the actors brought a great sense of humor to the screen. Plus, the throwbacks and references worked. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll get the sequel.
Nearing 100k subs and I think we all agree you're deserving of a logo refresh, no more games and music; you've made it big time as a film critic!
That cold open was awesome Cody 🤣 They are normally good but that was a banger❤
I just found your channel recently and subscribed. I’m with you on his Halloween 2. Seen it in theaters opening night and have loved it ever since. Great ranking man!

1) The Devil’s Rejects: an obvious choice, sure, but sometimes the obvious choice is obvious for a very good reason

3) Halloween: remaking the original film with his own inimitable Rob Zombie style was a curious mix, and one that doesn’t totally work (the first half could have been trimmed quite a bit), but better than it has any right to

I also love Halloween 2! Top 3 Halloween movies! It’s way too underrated! You’re the only reviewer who I think actually appreciates it lol
Great ranking!
I’ve noticed everyone leaves out El Superbeast. His one adult cartoon movie.
The intro was spot on
Petition for you to play Spaulding in a reboot please 🙏 that opening was epic! I'm not a big fan of RZ personally but my favourite is actually Lords of Salem, I like that it was stripped back more and that Zombie showed restraint until that ending; wish he'd do this more than the garishly over the top stuff he sticks to.

I'm definitely in the minority because I love most of his work but, I love hearing your perspectives on the films!
What an amazing intro! Definitely in Cody’s top 5 intros! Great review series! I’ll put my ranking on the first comment
Just like Cody I think Rob is a great director and an awful writer, but unlike Cody I can actually enjoy how god awful and trashy the writing can be(so bad that it’s good kind of thing!). Now here is my list:

Rob zombie was actual gonna make a halloween trilogy with the first one being just about Michael's child hood, the 2nd one being the night that he escaped, and the 3rd one was just the actual 2nd one

8. House of 100 Corpses (21%)

This has to be my favorite intro you’ve ever done!!
Thanks for applying the makeup Cody, I appreciate your dedication to these reviews, you go all in
Rob Zombie movies are actually really unique. They have a different "feel" than any other films. They make me feel sick but I still watch them now and then. The best is Devils Rejects but the worst to me is 31. I cant even get through that one. The Halloween movies would actually be ok, but the main actress is annoying as hell, she ruined the films more than Zombies writing
Nice list Mr Cody. Do you know about Rob Zombies Haunted World of El Superbeasto? It is an R rated animated movie about a luchador wrestler I believe, I haven’t seen it myself but would like too. 🤘
dude this was the best intro I have seen in all of your videos! 2nd place is definitely Dream Warriors!...which previously was easily #1
Zombies halloween 2 is one of my favorite slashers. I throughly enjoy the deep dive into the psychological effects of how the horrific events Laurie encountered would effect her, how we can't escape our DNA and Brad dourif is amazing
Agreed. I never understood the hate this movie gets. Is it perfect....no. But what slasher is? Love the character study, love the kills, love the Loomis arc.
Rob's 1st Halloween was good but the second one was a weird ass shit show.
Love your content! Great reviews on the Zombie films and I was waiting for the ranking! I have a love/hate relationship with his films too and for some reason excited every time he has a new project, but I am not sure why. My ranking is Much Different though
1 The devils Rejects
2 Halloween
3 House of 1000 Corpses
4 Halloween 2
5 3 From Hell
6 Lords of Salem
7 31
8 The Munster's (I thought this would be his mainstream breakthrough)
Honorable Mention The Haunted World of El Superbeasto
I would love to see your review for 2001 Maniacs and 2001 Maniacs Field of Screams!
That Sid Haig impression was perfect, haha
LOVE the Captain Spaulding makeup for this yasss 🙌🏽
No haunted world of El superbeasto?
Best channel on TH-cam man! Love the content.
The fact that you put Spauldings make up on is FANtastic! (See what I did there) 😂 cheers Cody and everyone commenting!!!
Always loved Rob Zombie's Halloween 2 and this is coming from a Halloween fan. Glad to see that movie getting more love!
Did you review The Haunted World of El Superbeasto animated film directed by Rob Zombie?
i’ve only seen his Halloween films, The Devil’s Rejects and House of 1000 Corpses, but i will say his cinematography in those is amazing. i’m much more of a music fan when it comes to Rob Zombie, his first 2 albums are Alt Metal classics
Well put.His cinematography is pretty damn good.And I love his music it's pretty bad ass,thunder kiss 65 is my favorite 🤘
He definitely has directing talent. The dude just cannot write his own movies
I always felt that Rob should've had Richard Brake play Doom-Head in 3 From Hell. Just have him be a rogue assassin that either knows the Firefly family, or gets hired to break them out.
That's a GREAT idea.
The makeup is on point Cody and another great ranking😁
Keep up the fucking awesome work !!
17:56 The most hilarious thing about the white horse is that the book where the passage giving the pretentious explanation about it at the start symbolising purity and rage is from doesn't exist.
Rob Zombie films are truly hit or Miss for me. I either love them or hate them. There’s no in between for me. I also love LOS.
This was the first time I have ever seen your views on Rob Zombie. Saying that, I appreciate your opinion and I love the way you deliver your point of view. I love different opinions, you made several valid points. In my opinion spot on! Your seem to be a fan, and has an opinion that has true love regardless of how disappointed you get! I'm here to listen from today on! Thanks, I got some laughs when you call out how some people can't handle ANY other person's opinion, cause, DAMN! I will be back, for sure!
"Opinions are like assholes...doesnt mean I have to be one." 🤣🤣🤣 Nah, was genuinely curious how you were gonna rank these 👏 respect! Great vid as always!
Zombie's version of The Munsters was basically Zombie's video, Dragula, stretched out to 100 minutes.
I didn’t mind the white horse thing in Halloween 2, I found it kinda artistic with some meaning behind it
I'm the weird guy who actually loved 3 From Hell, lmao
I loved 3 also,it's my second favorite movie after Rejects
Woah the whole video in makeup? Does it help retention? Do a terrifier ranking in makeup as well.
Wonderful intro 🤘😆🤟
I'm so excited for this!! 😍👏
You have the ability of taking what was already in my head and putting it into actual words lol. And you had such a good point about how we rarely got to see anything about such a cool character such as dr Satan. Great list and breakdown. I haven’t seen ALL of the films on this list, but godddd his Halloween 2 was absolutely dreadful in my opinion.
Cody. I love you man. I love that you're passionate and that most of the time our opinions drastically vary. That is why I watch your channel, you sir live and breathe movies and that is a passion of mine.
My List:
8) Lords of Salem (I fell asleep on it)
7) 31
6) 3 From Hell
5) Halloween II
4) Halloween
3) House of 1,000 Corpses
2) The Munsters
1) The Devil's Rejects
BEST...INTRO...EVER.
Zombie's second Halloween is far from my favorite in the series, but the fact that it isn't on Resurrection's level makes it a forgivable entry in my book.
You're not alone for Halloween 2. I enjoyed that one, and the original. This'll probably put me on the chopping block, but honestly, those are the ones I'll probably rewatch first over the very first one.
Oh, but you forgot the Haunted World Of El Superbeasto!
I appreciate your dedication. Billy Zanes got your back
Of the one’s I’ve seen
6. 31
5. Lords of Salem
4. House of 1000 Corpses
3. Halloween
2. The Haunted World of El Superbeasto (an animated film he made in ‘09, that a lot of people seem to forget about)
1. The Devil’s Rejects
Love his music. Hate his movies, except Devil’s Rejects, with the fire of 1000 suns.
Love your intro Cody
Not into RZ movies..but big fan of his music dince ive heard him in Bride of Chucky
RZ Halloween are ok at best, but honestly if you remove the shaky cam out of it, i might have rewatched them more often
Your intro and video was f'n amazing cody. Out of his movies that I've seen here is my ranking.
1. Halloween 2
2. The Devil's Rejects
3. Halloween 1
4. House of 1000 corpses
5. 31
6. 3 from hell
Probably the only reason 31 has a better narrative than most of the other movies is because it literally rips off the Hunger Game concept.
Interesting list and though I was initially puzzled as to why you put his second Halloween film at the top of your list, I can understand your reasoning. However, I think House of 1,000 Corpses should have ranked a little higher as I consider it one of his best moves.
Bro you are killing it on the videos!
Hey Cody howd you like that dancing cat part in 3 From Hell? My jaw hit the floor at that moment lol and facepaint is real nice. You guys did an awesome job on it
cool ranking and I like Halloween 2 as well...not my fav, but good.... but what happened to The Haunted World of El Superbeasto?
intro was golden
Rob Zombie must be related to Charles Manson. The resemblance is uncanny.
I didn't like lord's of Salem the first time I saw it, but after a few more watches, I think it's just a bit underrated. It could be considered a diamond in the rough, though I like most of his movies. I don't love them, but I enjoy them well enough.
Since I think Rob Zombie is full of himself as a filmmaker, all his movies are 8th place for me.
His ego outweighs his actual creativity, is the vibe I've always got watching his films.
Honestly I feel like Rob Zombies Halloween works far better if you don’t take it too seriously and treat it as a horror comedy. That breakfast scene is so disgusting and vile that it’s HILARIOUS.
I read somewhere that he wanted the munsters to be in black and white but the studio wanted it in color
Lol Cody so silly, I luv the intro!
Awesome intro as always
The fact my reaction to your #1 pick synced up to that baby crying makes me want to angry hug you. 🫂
Hahahaha 😘
Oh God! I am at the beginning of this and I am already scared because all I can hear in my head is "I've given up! Dude! For the love of god...let someone else write your f'ing movies!" from your review of the Munsters! LOL. I can only imagine what I am in for with this video!
