10 Horror Movies Where You Know Nearly Everyone Will Die

The first in Rob Zombie's Firefly trilogy, and arguably his best film to date, House of 1000 Corpses is a love letter to the horror genre, paying homage to slashers, monster movies, supernatural chillers - the lot.

We join a car full of young adults who get lost out in the sticks and wind up with a flat near a spooky house full of quirky rednecks. What initially promises to be the dinner party story of a lifetime soon turns into a living nightmare, as Mother, Baby, Tiny, and Rufus Firefly (Karen Black, Sheri Moon Zombie, Matthew McGrory, Robert Allen Mukes) and their associates mutilate, scalp, skin, shoot, burn, and operate on the youngsters. The kills don't stop coming as the mystery of this backwoods, backwards family deepens into genetic experiments, the occult, and an underground lair. 

Foremost among the film's many influences is The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which House of 1000 Corpses wears like a badge of pride, and which signals to us long before the opening scene that there is going to be some heavy bloodshed. Plus, y'know, there's the title... 

It's kind of hard to have 1000 corpses without putting a few people down.
