Rob Zombie has been on the tip of almost everyone’s tongues since the Blumhouse Halloween films. Some fans are at odds with which timeline is their favorite. But perhaps no one can argue that his first film House of 1000 Corpses is one of his best.
The film, which came out in 2003, has become a cult classic and has spawned two better-received sequels: The Devil’s Rejects and 3 From Hell.
According to Bloody Disgusting, Zombie is unable to locate any of the edited footage for a 1000 Corpses director’s cut and alternate ending. “There’s nothing. I mean, I don’t know where anything is. I gotta be honest. Nothing’s ever been discovered,” he admitted to the horror publication.
That is what makes the image he shared through Instagram so rare and special.
“Super rare still of Captain Spaulding’s truck from the original ending of HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES,” Zombie writes in the caption.
To give the photo some context you have to go back and look at the theatrical ending to the film. In it, our final girl, Denise is “saved” by Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) in his convertible only to be attacked by Otis (Bill Moseley) who pops up holding a knife in the back seat. Jump to Denise (Erin Daniels) restrained in an operating room with Dr. Satan ready to attack. The End?
The Instagram photo is a snapshot of the original ending in which Denise is abducted by Ravelli (Irwin Keyes).
“Spaulding was originally driving a large delivery truck which ended when his assistant, Ravelli, appeared again from the back of the truck, grabs Denise, and pulls her back into the truck which is lit with red light.”
This year, Zombie was the fodder of many headlines in horror news. His reboot of the sitcom The Munsters came as a surprise to some fans who were initially excited to see what he would do to the Universal IP.
That spirit was quickly doused once the trailer came out, leaving fans to wonder if Zombie had missed the mark. Although the film has its staunch supporters, the majority of critics found it to be a misfire. Fortunately, Netflix saw its potential a scooped The Munsters up in time for Halloween for their subscribers.
