The Movie: Rob Zombie's sleazy, trashy and hugely entertaining homage to movies such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is essentially one big, long grand guignol. Two couples unwittingly find themselves at the mercy of the psychopathic Firefly family one Halloween, after looking for the tree from which the legendary Dr. Satan was rumoured to be hanged from. Zombie's shooting and editing style can only be described as delirious, while the cast ramp things up to the highest levels possible - hardly subtle but hugely effective. The Gory Death: House of 1000 Corpses isn't short of hardcore violence and death, but things really get out of hand once the survivors find themselves deep in the bowels of the earth, stranded in Dr. Satan's lair. One man is particularly unlucky - strapped to a dentist's chair, Dr. Satan, having sliced open his chest, proceeds to cut apart the top of his head and prod at his brain while blood spurts from his mouth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRsTx8Mt9r8
