Number Thirteen: House of 1000 Corpses

aka Movie of No Plot (or as Joey calls it: "House of 1000 Poopies")

Actually, we both kind of liked it.

Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses really has no plot. It often cuts between random montage-like scenes shot in negative. There's a lot of random images thrown around, and it's not really scary or suspenseful.

But it is just so much fun.

I think about halfway through the movie, I realized that House of 1000 Corpses would be the perfect background to any Halloween party. Just play it on the t.v. or a projector in the background with the sound off. It's basically just eye candy and you don't need to hear anything the characters say to enjoy it.

Here's my favorite character, Captain Spaulding:



For a scary looking clown, he's actually quite personable. Except for the evil clown thing.

So, for a good time, call House of 1000 Corpses. You can turn your brain off, enjoy the pretty lights, and please, I cannot stress this enough: don't try to figure anything out. I wasted a good 40 minutes of this movie trying to figure out why two women who clearly hate fun and travel would ever want to take a road trip. It doesn't matter because 20 minutes later, I totally forgot that they were even trying to do something other than wear weird costumes and be covered in blood.


P.S. This movie does, however, answer the question, "I wonder what Rainn Wilson did before he got the role of Dwight Schrute on 'The Office'?"
