There has always been a certain dark irreverence and cartoonish bizarreness to musician-turned-director Rob Zombie’s cinematic outings, as prominently seen in his earliest horror sagas “House of a Thousand Corpses” and its sequel “The Devil’s Rejects.” Take, for example, Captain Spaulding (played by the late Sid Haig), a central carnivalesque figure in these gory narratives who imbues them with deviant humor.

Well, another Rob Zombie movie is almost here, which should be great news for his fans (whoever they are). Love him or hate him, Zombie remains one of the biggest names in genre directing today thanks to his take on the “Halloween” franchise from the ’00s and his Firefly Family trilogy. The third (and hopefully final) of those films, “3 From Hell,” came in 2019.

Rob Zombie clearly loves “The Munsters.” From his music, with all of its allusions to the classic TV sitcom, to his film work, which is influenced by his love of campy horror, Zombie obviously loves the stuff. So, it makes complete sense that the filmmaker would be the guy to make the latest feature film adapting “The Munsters.” And judging by the “teaser,” Zombie is not straying too far from the source material for his feature adaptation.

Rob Zombie is the type of filmmaker that doesn’t just take every project thrown his way. It’s clear, judging by the films he chooses to make, Zombie is a guy that only goes behind the camera to direct things he’s passionate about. Typically, this involves a horror film with lots of sex, violence, and gore. But for his next film, “The Munsters,” Zombie is adapting a beloved sitcom for the big screen.

Do Rob Zombie movies have a place in our current era of arthouse horror? It’s tough to say, as Zombie is a director who has willfully chosen to stay in the grade-Z grindhouse lane. The filmmaker has his supporters, and those people are going to be quite happy with his latest, “3 From Hell,” the third installment in the saga of the Firefly Family seen in the films “House of 1,000 Corpses” and “The Devil’s Rejects.”

Whereas many modern horror directors often make use of nightmare logic, patient slow-burn narratives, and shout-outs to the likes of Ingmar Bergman and Michael Haneke, Zombie prefers sociopathic clowns, lucha libre killing squads, scantily-clad women, and the kind of sadism usually reserved for slasher films of decades past.

It’s been 16 years since Rob Zombie made his feature directorial debut with the film “House of 1000 Corpses.” While that film might not have been the revolutionary horror film that many expected, borrowing heavily from “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and Zombie’s clear reverence for the genre, ‘Corpses’ did introduce the world to the three characters Captain Spaulding, Otis, and Baby. Now, years later, the three return yet again in the new film “3 From Hell.”

As seen in the new teaser for “3 From Hell,” it’s been quite a while since we’ve seen the three characters made famous from their appearance in ‘Corpses,’ as well as the far superior “The Devil’s Rejects.” Almost 15 years since the latter film, to be exact.

A shot fired this spring by John Carpenter is now landing with some impact as his comments about Rob Zombie, and his remake of “Halloween,” are starting to make the rounds. In short, Carpenter not only didn’t like the 2007 redo, he calls out Zombie for making up a story that he didn’t give the filmmaker his blessing to tackle the classic horror flick.
