House Of 1000 Corpses was Rob Zombie's first film.  I'm a fan of White Zombie and his solo work, so it was a movie that I was looking forward to this movie and went to see it at the Regal Cinema in Hazleton on its opening weekend.  I loved it when I saw it on the big screen for the first time, but it's kind of fallen out of favor for me in subsequent viewings.  The characters are awesome and creepy as hell, but the plot is a little sloppy.  Watching it feels a bit like going through the Haunted Mansion at Knoebels... it's just kind of taking you from scary moment to scary moment without ever really tying any of it together in a way that makes sense or tells much of a coherent story.  It's definitely worth watching, but this falls well short of the horror classics that served as its inspiration.
