RIP Sid. Gonna be watching your movies all during October in your memory. Remember the first movie I saw with Sid Haig was Galaxy of Terror. Hope your scaring people up in heaven.

I don't really understand why people would celebrate Rob Zombie movies. They lack any of the charm and even humor of Tarantino slashers and I keep wondering what the target demographic is because they almost seem like Boomer movies for horridly decadent Florida hippies or something. I guess its the train wreck phenom. They show that Devils Rejects quite a bit on cable. I ain't gonna lie, I sat through it then wondered why.

But RIP to the man.

Those aren't movies that are to be watched on cable. :laughing

Gonna miss you Sid. But yeah, House of 1000 Corpses is RZ's only good movie. The Haloween's are ok but those are remakes. The Lord's of Salem was terrible. They were witches, not lords.

Agree. The Devils Rejects was just about the most pointless movie I've ever seen.

Sid was a creepy dude though.

They are really only for people willing to do the work, if you aren't able to dig through the ditches and burn through the witches to slam in the back of his vision, it isn't for you.

R.I.P. Sid. :rose

I think Rob Zombie is a genius. I enjoyed his housebof 1000 corpses movies and the great casting. His Halloween interpretation was excellent and gave a better background into Michel Meyers than the original did. :dunno

He showed Mike Meyers as more human than human.

Sid Haig had a long career that I enjoyed going back to THX 1138.

:rip

He sure was in that one. The whole movie seemed like a premise to use Free Bird in the final scene along with other Boomer Southern rock hits (which was probably the most artistic part of the whole movie). Having seen it by itself, didn't know anything about the trilogy aspect. The ridiculous cop guy didn't help, whats-his-name with the fat nose (oh, William Forsythe). I mean, I get the farce part. But doing "work" to get a gratutitous violence movie, I dunno... (And I am a guy who watches and ponders Purge movies)

I kinda wonder if the finale of Sons of Anarchy wasn't sort of inspired by that.

I had already seen Rejects when I came up the 1000 corpses movie. I just couldn't make it through. Maybe if I'd seen it first I'd get it more. Didn't know he remade Halloween movies, another big phenom which I never was into.

Honestly, guys, Rejects gave me flashbacks to some very scary hippie people I met when I was just outta high school. Real people I was around who i am grateful to have escaped unscathed.
