The length between films is explained away since each character spent 10 years in prison. It builds a creepy mythos around the characters, and we see how their personalities impact a public eager to see the good in people and, in the process, become victims. The news format is one Zombie loves, and he utilizes it here wonderfully. ![]() But the characters remained popular and movie magic allows the trio to miraculously survive the 20+ gunshot wounds they each received. ![]() The ending of The Devil’s Rejects didn’t leave much room for a continuation after the famous Lynyrd Skynyrd “Freebird” scene. I’ve been waiting for this movie since Rob Zombie announced it. Spoilers ahead! Don’t get burned by spoilers, y’all. For fans, this is a long-awaited moment, and one that arrives tinged now with sadness. Thankfully, we’re getting a 4K and Blu-Ray release with a 4-part documentary when the film goes VOD early October. Haig was apparently very reluctant to discuss his declining health, and so fan outrage at the lack of Captain Spaulding in 3 From Hell really missed the point and looks incredibly entitled now. He’s very important to me, the movie, it was very important to Sid.’ And they were like, okay, but I had to do something that was completely not strenuous for him.” Rob Zombie, Bloody Disgusting I gotta get Captain Spaulding in this movie. ‘Please, you gotta let me bring Sid in, even if it’s just for one morning. “So what I did was I rewrote the whole script for the tenth time … and convinced Lionsgate. He discusses the project in depth in an interview (predating Haig’s death) with Bloody Disgusting describing the actor’s slow decline and the dawning realization that, despite everyone’s creative vision and best hopes, Captain Spaulding wasn’t going to be able to appear much in the final cut. It’s weird seeing the world without him.īut Haig certainly wouldn’t have wanted these films to vanish after his death. His character of Captain Spaulding was one of a kind, and I quote him constantly in my daily life. I saw his final film and passion project 3 From Hell (2019) in theaters a few days before his death, reviewed it, and hoped he’d be able to be in more of Rob Zombie’s movies. I’m going to be honest: losing actor Sid Haig so suddenly really rattled me. However, if you’re at all bothered by nudity, gore, or sexually fueled acts of violence, this really isn’t the series for you. Otis channels some strong Charles Manson vibes, while Baby shows us what Harley Quinn could be with a higher rating. Even if you haven’t seen House of 1,000 Corpses (2003) or The Devil’s Rejects (2005), you can still follow the storyline as the film opens with a decent recap and brings us up to date with the killers’ trials and their situations in prison. Luckily, they’re not done with their exploits thanks to a prison break. Rob Zombie’s third film in the trilogy is 3 From Hell (2019), a horrorbilly sequel in which Baby Firefly (Sheri Moon Zombie), Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) and Otis Firefly (Bill Moseley) are incarcerated and under public scrutiny. But at the end of the day, it all worked out great.These gorgeous vinyl cover art pieces are available through Waxwork Productions. Because, I went from one moment thinking, ‘This is the most prepared I have ever f-ing been to start a movie - everything is locked down tight’ - and within one phone call, the entire production went into complete chaos for three weeks. It was the funniest situation and the sh-tiest situation. A lot of the scenes with Foxy were supposed to be Spaulding and I twisted things around so I didn’t have to rewrite every single thing. He was on another movie in Spain shooting. I had just worked with Richard on a movie called 31 and I knew he would fit the vibe. I created this charter Foxy for Richard Brake. I kind of realized, yeah, he’s in rough shape. Because Sid, he’s big and burly, and now he’s tiny as a skeleton. So, I went to see him, and he had changed drastically from the last time I saw him. I’m like, holy sh-, this is a serious business. He had been in the hospital, and he had just had surgery, and he was now recovering in a rehabilitation facility. “But three weeks out from shooting, I got a call from Sid Haig. “The movie that I prepped to make, and was getting ready to start shooting, it was Captain Spaulding, Otis, and Baby, the three originals,” says Zombie. ![]()
