Twisted Metal’s second season roars forward with its crazy car action and bodies dropping at every turn. We review the latest two episodes, released Friday, Aug. 8, below!
Season 2 episode 4: “Lzgtbzy”
Episode 4 opens with one day left until the driving competition begins. Diesel City is a smoke-polluting industrial place. The cost to enter is an exchange of fuel for coins. It’s heavily guarded with snipers maintaining a no-violence policy with their own. The people look and act rough, as they should.
Inside, it’s a flea market of everything, including weapons. Sweet Tooth and Stu shop for weapons and ammunition. Stu has his hands full keeping the crazed clown restrained from killing people. But then, Sweet Tooth spends his coins on a velvet cape. He pretends to be Dracula and literally gets away with murder. He’s pretty funny when he’s so giddy about killing. Stu gets kidnapped,...

As previewed at Toy Fair, Neca is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Rob Zombie‘s The Devil’s Rejects with Tiny and Baby Firefly action figures.
Tiny, played by the late Matthew McGrory, includes a hood that fits over his head. Baby, played by Sheri Moon Zombie, comes with a pistol and shotgun.
Each 7″ scale articulated toy is packaged in a window box. Pre-orders are live for a March 2026 release.
Longtime collectors may recall that Neca made figures of these characters back in 2005, but they’ve been reworked for the new releases.
In the sequel to House of 1000 Corpses, the homicidal Firefly family goes on the run, but the clan’s rampage is cut short when a sheriff follows.
Moon Zombie and McGrory star alongside Sid Haig, Bill Moseley, Ken Foree, Leslie Easterbrook, and William Forsythe.

The song most often associated with Rob Zombie’s The Devil’s Rejects might be “Freebird,” but it’s the music of Terry Reid that serves as the musical voice of the film throughout. Zombie memorably used three of Reid’s songs to great effect in his sequel to House of 1000 Corpses, and in fact it was Reid’s music that was a source of inspiration on 3 from Hell years later.
We’re sad to learn this week that Terry Reid has passed away at the age of 75.
Rob Zombie used Reid’s songs “Brave Awakening,” “To Be Treated Rite,” and “Seed of Memory” in The Devil’s Rejects, all three plucked from Reid’s album Seed of Memory. Released in 1976, it was Reid’s fourth studio album, and Zombie has cited it as one of his personal favorites.

The mid-2000s were a wild time in horror. From originals like Wolf Creek, High Tension, and the dawn of Saw, to a litany of dark Platinum Dunes remakes. Audiences made it very clear that we wanted it nasty. Then we wanted it even nastier at home on an “unrated” DVD in the months that followed. It’s very apropos then that this is the era when Rob Zombie: Director was born. Following up 2003’s House of 1000 Corpses, the rock star turned director was ready to shock audiences with depravity once more. Only this time, he didn’t want you to laugh uncomfortably at his sick circus. He wanted to suck all the cartoon air out of the room and make you feel the horror as if you were there. To do so would require him to push his actors to the limits of their minds darkest places,...

Following a public funeral procession through the streets of Birmingham on Wednesday (July 30th), Ozzy Osbourne was laid to rest at the grounds of his mansion in Buckinghamshire, England, on Thursday (July 31st).
According to reports from The Mirror and Daily Mail, the intimate service at the 250-acre estate was attended by Ozzy’s family members, with Elton John and members of Black Sabbath and Metallica also expected to be present.
TMZ further reported that Zakk Wylde, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, and Slipknot singer Corey Taylor were in attendance, as well.
In burying Ozzy near a lake at his estate, Sharon Osbourne granted the metal legend’s wishes. In his autobiography I Am Ozzy, he wrote, “I’ve said to Sharon: ‘Don’t cremate me, whatever you do.’ I want to be put in the ground, in a nice garden somewhere, with a tree planted over my head.'”

Rob Zombie has said that for every one film project of his that moves forward, there are five potential projects that fall by the wayside. We haven’t heard of quite that many unmade Rob Zombie movies, but we have heard of several over the years that never got off the ground… and unfortunately, most of them sounded pretty interesting. A little over a year ago, Zombie had said he didn’t know what his next movie is going to be, but he did know what it’s not going to be: he won’t be continuing his Firefly franchise, and he doesn’t want to make a sequel to The Munsters (which was poorly received). So while he figures out his next cinematic move, we we have put together a list of Rob Zombie Movies We Want To See!

Long before Superman or even Guardians of the Galaxy, James Gunn was firmly established as a “horror guy,” from his early days writing Tromeo and Juliet for Troma to his feature directorial debut with the horror-comedy Slither. It was Slither that introduced Gunn’s voice as a director worth watching, and Gunn reflects on the monster movie almost twenty years later in an interview conducted for Clark Collis’ upcoming book, Screaming and Conjuring.
1984 Publishing will release Screaming and Conjuring: The Resurrection and Unstoppable Rise of the Modern Horror Movie, a definitive 504-page hardcover that pulls back the curtain on the horror film industry, on September 2, 2025. With the book now available for pre-order, 1984 Publishing has shared an exclusive excerpt with us this week.

The Halloween franchise has had a lot of ups and downs over the years. Whether it be The Curse of Michael Myers or Rob Zombie's Halloween 2, every horror has their least favorite film in the franchise. However, arguably the worst sequel in the long-running slasher series is Halloween: Resurrection. Now, the first Halloween film of the 21st century is getting a newkiller figure fromNECA.
Revealed at San Diego Comic-Con, with photo credit to TotArk.com, the next Michael Myers in Neca’s “Ultimate” seven-inch horror figure collection will be based on Resurrection. Michael will come with a bloody knife, an extra melted mask head, a voodoo doll, a staple jack o’ lantern, and a blood-stained tripod with a camera on it. This is one of the final Michaels Neca needed to complete their collection. They previously made figures for Halloween II, Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers,...

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Rob Zombie’s gritty sequel to House of 1000 Corpses, and Neca is celebrating The Devil’s Rejects with two brand new action figures.
The new action figures of both Baby Firefly (Sheri Moon Zombie) and Tiny (Matthew McGrory) are on display at Neca’s Sdcc booth this week, and our friends over at ToyArk.com snapped the photos seen above and below. These figures may look a bit familiar to longtime Neca collectors, as they’re fresh takes on figures the company originally released twenty years ago.
It looks like Tiny will come equipped with his burlap sack mask, while Baby’s accessories will include a handgun as well as a shotgun from the epic final moments of Zombie’s 2005 movie.
The new Baby and Tiny figures will be released by Neca in late 2025.

Rob Zombie has been one of the most polarizing figures in the horror community since making the leap from musician to filmmaker. He made his feature writing and directorial debut with House of 1000 Corpses in 2003 — after being purchased by Lionsgate when its original studio, Universal, shelved it three years prior due to fears of it receiving a dreaded Nc-17 rating.
Corpses fell victim to many issues faced by first-time directors — Zombie was seemingly unsure if he’d ever get the opportunity to make another movie, resulting in an anarchic mélange of ideas and influences — but the end result remains potent all these years later. Despite the troubled production and a largely unfavorable critical response, the film turned a healthy profit, giving Zombie the sinister urge to make a sequel as his sophomore effort.
Released 20 years ago today, The Devil’s Rejects is decidedly more grounded in reality than its heightened predecessor.

Rob Zombie‘s The Devil’s Rejects turns 20 today, and Bottleneck Gallery is commemorating the anniversary with a poster by Matt Ryan Tobin.
The 36×24 screen print goes on sale today at 12pm Et. Hand-numbered out of 125, it will cost $65.
Bottleneck writes, “The Devil’s Rejects is an absolutely bonkers horror ride that rocked us to our very cores. Matt tackles Rob’s spectacularly violent sequel with a striking flag motif and some devilishly great renditions of our favorite family of lunatics. The Devil’s Rejects was a darker, more ambitious film than its predecessor, and Matt stepped up to the challenge with a truly killer poster design.”
In Zombie’s 2005 sequel to House of 1000 Corpses, the homicidal Firefly family goes on the run, but the clan’s rampage is cut short when a sheriff follows.
Sid Haig, Bill Moseley, Sheri Moon Zombie, Ken Foree, Leslie Easterbrook, Matthew McGrory, and William Forsythe star.

This article contains spoilers for "Superman."
In James Gunn's "Superman," the charming and talented Skyler Gisondo plays Jimmy Olsen, the plucky reporter for the Daily Planet. He is depicted as something of a ladies man, the cute boy of the office, often drawing demure titters from his co-workers. Jimmy seems a little baffled by how attractive he is; he's no lothario. Jimmy is also secretly in contact with Eve (Sara Sampaio), Lex Luthor's girlfriend, which allows him access to vital information late in the film.
Gisondo vibrated with "leading man" energy, and he once even (naturally) assumed that his audition for James Gunn was actually to play the role of Clark Kent. The only think keeping him from playing the Man of Steel, one might argue, are his boyish good looks.
Gisondo is also no stranger to the world of superheroes or legacy characters. As a child, Gisondo...

The Nc-17 rating is a unicorn of sorts in the film industry -- and for good reason. Indicating a film is forbidden screening for anyone 17 and under, Nc-17 is a scarlet letter, a box office death sentence. Movies that earned the rating were previously exiled to straight-to-video releases, likely to be enjoyed in secrecy by voyeurs lurking around video rental stores (if they were on shelves at all).
Now, in the age of streaming, such a punishment doesn't spell doom the way it used to. Take "Blonde," the controversial Marilyn Monroe film that received an Nc-17 rating just 3 years ago in 2022. The film, for as ambitious and messy as it was, found success in streaming numbers and even got awards recognition.
"Blonde" is a rare example of a movie that kept the racy elements of the original cut intact, despite the threat of an Nc-17 rating. But for every film that earned the troublesome rating,...

Many of our favorite childhood characters have fallen into the twisted hands of the public domain, with horror movies that take advantage of that fact becoming damn near an entire sub-genre in recent years. From Winnie the Pooh to Mickey Mouse and Peter Pan to Bambi, it seems that no classic character is safe from the horror genre. And now it’s your time, Aladdin.
Bloody Disgusting has learned that B22 Films will be bringing Aladdin into the world of horror with a two-part twisted take featuring upcoming films Aladdin and Aladdin’s Revenge.
We’re told that cameras start rolling in Oklahoma this month, with a 2026 release planned.

Professionals in the used car sales industry often don't generate sympathy, at least under traditional pop culture depictions. But how would you feel if a one ended up framed for murder and had to deal with supernatural forces? You'll need to watch the upcoming scare film Covet, a unique horror film with some truly inspired casting.
Two Horror Icons Team Up
Covet is guaranteed to draw interest from horror fans as the film features a new cinematic team-up with Kane Hodder and Bill Moseley. Hodder will play the trouble-plagued car salesman trying to prove he didn't murder his mistress. Moseley will appear as Sheriff Troy, but it is unclear whether he'll play a skeptical law enforcement officer, akin to Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive (1993), or a menacing misfit, similar to R. Lee Ermey's Charlie Hewitt from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006).

Danielle Harris is a very popular name in the horror community. A former child star, Harris rose to fame by playing Jamie Lloyd, the daughter of Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode, in two Halloween films. As an adult, Harris returned to the franchise by playing Annie Brackett in Rob Zombie's Halloween reboot and its sequel. Additionally, Harris has appeared in a slew of other films, including many horror movies.
Harris recently appeared as a guest for an interview on the Talks From the Crypt podcast, and she reflected on her career. She revealed how fellow scream queen Neve Campbell had been a thorn in her side during the 1990s. As Harris explained, there were two major roles she was gunning for at that time for both the big and small screens, and she happened to lose each of them to the Scream franchise star.

The entertainment industry is mourning the loss of veteran actor Michael Madsen, who passed away at the age of 67 on July 3. Madsen is of course best known for his films with Quentin Tarantino, including Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, and The Hateful Eight, but what you might have forgotten is that Madsen was also directed by Rob Zombie once upon a time.
It was back in 2010 that Rob Zombie directed an episode of the series “CSI: Miami,” which was the sixteenth episode of the eighth season. It was titled “L.A.,” and it came along just one year after Rob Zombie wrapped up his time on the Halloween franchise. Before he returned to the director’s chair for The Lords of Salem, Zombie first made his mark on the world of “CSI.”

Rob Zombie is a divisive figure in the horror space. People either love him or hate him without much middle ground. If you fall into the former category, you may be pleased to learn that one of the director’s lesser known films is now streaming on Tubi. Indeed, Zombie’s animated outing, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, is now available to stream via the ad-supported VOD platform.
The news that an under-seen Rob Zombie film is now available to stream is exciting to fans all on its own, but you may be even more enticed with the added context that El Superbeasto features several beloved characters who fans will surely recognize. Both Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig) and Otis Driftwood (Bill Moseley) of Firefly Family fame make a cameo appearance in this 2009 offering. Though they aren’t primary characters, it’s pretty compelling to see them make the leap to animation.

Music supervisor is a job that is part professional music nerd, part aural detective and part crate-digging business affairs exec. 5 Songs is a Deadline series that highlights the work of these below-the-line workers through songs and stories.
What do Iggy Pop, Tom Waits, Joan Jett, BTS, Rob Zombie and Tchaikovsky have in common? Their songs were all used in Amazon ballet drama Étoile.
Étoile came from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino and followed the the dancers and artistic staff of two world-renowned ballet companies in New York and Paris as they embark on an ambitious gambit to save their storied institutions by swapping their most talented stars.
It starred Luke Kirby, Lou de Laâge, Gideon Glick, Charlotte Gainsbourg, David Alvarez, Ivan du Pontavice, Taïs Vinolo, David Haig, Lamay Zhang and Simon Callow.

The prevalence of live-action reboots of popular animated media has led to a misguided belief that animation is somehow a testing ground for ideas that can later receive a “definitive” non-animated version of the story. Not only is this belief offensive to animators, but it also ignores the fact that some stories work even better when distanced from the physical limitations of live-action cinema – especially when it comes to over-the-top genre stories.
And if there’s one series of movies that has a lot to gain from embracing a more stylized approach to filmmaking, it has to be the Predator franchise. I’m clearly not the only one who thinks so, as the latest entry in the series already seems to be a bona fide hit, with Predator: Killer of Killers benefiting from the aesthetic freedom of its animated visuals.

Longtime Lionsgate Motion Picture Group co-president Jason Constantine died June 3 at his home after a long fight with cancer. He was 55.
Constantine has been an executive at Lionsgate nearly since its inception, starting his career more than 25 years ago as a director of acquisitions at Lionsgate’s predecessor Trimark Pictures.
His run at Lionsgate spanned its cornerstone $1 billion-grossing franchises John Wick and Saw. He was a huge proponent of the Saw franchise from the onset, leading the studio’s push to acquire it after watching a brief concept short.
Constantine was also involved with The Expendables franchise; Paul Haggis’ Oscar Best Picture winner Crash; Lee Daniels’ Precious, nominated for five Academy Awards and winner of two Oscars; Rian Johnson’s Oscar-nominated $312 million global-grossing Knives Out; the Erwin Brothers’ faith-based smash I Can Only Imagine; worldwide action hits The Hitman’s Bodyguard, Kick Ass, Rambo: Last Blood, Angel Has Fallen and...

Kane Hodder and Bill Moseley are both bona fide slasher superstars, and will star together in Brian McQuery's latest horror project, Covet. Hodder portrayed Jason Voorhees across four Friday the 13th films, and Moseley played Otis B. Driftwood in The Devil's Rejects.
Per Variety, the two horror legends will appear in McQuery's sophomore effort, with his first film having been last year's Plea, starring Nightmare on Elm Street star Heather Langenkamp. The official synopsis for Covet reads, “When a sleazy car salesman is framed for the murder of his mistress, he must prove his innocence — only to learn the forces responsible may not be human.”
Hodder has been a mainstay of the horror genre since he first put on Jason's mask in 1988's Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood. He became the first actor to reprise the role of Voorhees, appearing as the masked killer in Friday...

Rob Zombie was nearly one of the sordid characters running amok in Robert Rodriguez‘s Sin City.
The filmmaker/musician shared the anecdote on Instagram with photos from Spike TV’s 2006 Scream Awards, where The Devil’s Rejects took home the award for Best Horror Movie.
“Robert asked me to play a role in Sin City but I was shooting The Devil’s Rejects at the time and had to decline,” he writes.
It’s unknown what part Zombie would have played — perhaps a Swat team member alongside (or in place of) Rodriguez himself — but it likely would have been a cameo given his busy schedule and inexperience in front of the camera.
Zombie made his big screen debut in Airheads, although he merely played himself as the frontman of White Zombie. He later took on the uncredited role of Dr. Wolfenstein’s assistant in his directorial debut, House of 1000 Corpses.

Rob Zombie is known for making horror movies and industrial-flavored heavy metal music, but he isn't the only member of his family to delve into such passions. His brother, Michael David Cummings (more famously known as Powerman 5000 frontman Spider One), also knows how to start a mosh pit and send shivers down the spines of movie fans. As of this writing, Cummings has helmed three horror flicks, but they weren't his only forays into spooky on-screen entertainment.
Before he started directing horror movies, Cummings -- along with "Scrubs" writer Eric Weinberg and Adult Swim alum Curtis Gwinn -- created MTV's short-lived "Death Valley," a mockumentary series about cops and monsters. The story centers around the officers of the Undead Task Force (Utf) and their camera crew as they deal with werewolves, vampires, and zombies in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley.

When you think about Stephen King movies from the 1980s, there are a few classics that immediately come to mind. The Shining, Stand By Me, The Dead Zone, and, of course, 1983's Cujo. Directed by Lewis Teague, who can forget the horrifying tale of a rabid St. Bernard terrorizing a mother and her son trapped in a Ford Pinto on a blistering-hot summer day? Both the book and the movie managed to strike a chord with audiences, not only because of the subject matter, but also because of the way each one ended. Now, star Dee Wallace has revealed King's reaction to the film's conclusion, which was noticeably different from his novel.
Appearing on Still Here Hollywood with Steve Kmetko, Wallace spoke at length about her incredible career, which has included appearances in Steven Spielberg's E.T., The Howling, Rob Zombie's Halloween, and Cujo. Wallace played Donna Trenton in the King film,...

In an entertainment climate where western content seems to red-hot, who can forget the Kurt Russell gem Bone Tomahawk? It's hard to believe this year marks the 10th anniversary of the western horror film's release. And it featured quite the ensemble alongside Russell, including Patrick Wilson (Insidious), the late Sid Haig (a Rob Zombie regular) and David Arquette. MovieWeb recently caught up with Arquette amid the release of his police drama film Mob Cops, and the beloved Scream actor also took time to reflect on his experience shooting Bone Tomahawk alongside the other big names. Arquette told us:
"Working with Sid Haig was just such a honor because he's such an incredible, legendary actor. And that may have been his last film, so just feel really blessed to have met him and worked with him. And then Kurt Russell, I mean, we did 3,000 Miles to Graceland together, and then to...

Carla Harvey, co-founder of the metal band Butcher Babies, has released the music video for her debut single “Sick Ones” with her new project, The Violent Hour. The video premiered on April 25, 2025, marking a significant step in Harvey’s post-Butcher Babies career.
Directed by Vicente Cordero of Industrial Films, the video showcases Harvey embodying multiple personas, each representing facets of inner turmoil and resilience. This visual approach aligns with the song’s theme of confronting and shedding toxic relationships.
“Sick Ones” was co-written by Harvey and her fiancé, Charlie Benante of Anthrax and Pantera, who also played all instruments on the track. The song features a guitar solo by John 5, known for his work with Mötley Crüe and Rob Zombie. Harvey describes the track as a “rock ‘n’ roll anthem about cutting the toxic people out of your life,” inspired by a phrase she noted in a journal in...

The central conceit of classic sitcom The Munsters was that the family of vampires and ghouls was just like the clan on Leave It to Beaver, except the relatives occasionally transformed into bats. To get the point across, the earliest seasons of The Munsters patterned their opening theme song off another classic sitcom, only with a morbid twist.
While The Donna Reed Show hasn’t stayed in the public consciousness as long as The Munsters, it lasted for a whopping 275 episodes over eight seasons from the late 1950s through the mid-1960s. Families didn’t get much more whitebred than the Stones, and each episode began with Donna Stone (Reed) handing out nutritious lunches to her children and husband as they left for another mundane day outside the family home.
In its first season, The Munsters openly mocked The Donna Reed Show open, recreating each of its beats but with a ghoulish flourish.

Few franchises can say that they've endured the way that "Halloween" has. Directed by the horror master himself, John Carpenter, the 1978 classic that started it all remains one of the most beloved movies the genre has ever produced. It also resulted in a series of sequels and reboots that have allowed Michael Myers to endure for nearly 50 years in the larger pop culture consciousness.
Carpenter's original movie sets the tone right out of the gate, with a young Michael Myers killing his older sister, Judith Myers, in a brutal fashion. We see the whole thing in Pov before the gut-punch of a reveal that it was a young boy behind this cold-blooded murder. The rest of the film picks up years later, with Michael now an adult let loose on the town of Haddonfield, leaving quite a few more bodies in his wake.
But why did that young boy decide...
