#CAPTAIN SPAULDING 3 FROM HELL MOVIE#

The always entertaining Jeff Daniel Phillips plays the Warden, Virgil Dallas Harper. In 3 FROM HELL it’s 1978, and we find out that somehow Otis, Baby, and Captain Spaulding all survived, and were sent to prison. Bill Moseley (Otis Firefly) in 3 FROM HELL | Image courtesy of Lionsgate

#CAPTAIN SPAULDING 3 FROM HELL MOVIE#

It’s one of the most epic horror movie endings ever made. The last time we saw the Firefly family in The Devil’s Rejects (2005), Otis (Bill Moseley), Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie), and Captain Spaulding ( Sid Haig), were on the run from the cops, driving down the highway and appeared to die in a hail of bullets while “Free Bird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd played. The third film in the trilogy, 3 FROM HELL, continues the Firefly family’s psychopathic story and is just as depraved and messed up as you would expect, because this is Rob fucking Zombie. If you don’t like crazed hillbillies gleefully killing people while Sheri Moon Zombie’s Baby is gloriously cackling, these movies may not be for you. They are ultra-violent, bloody and shocking. Rob Zombie’s films are not for the faint of heart. We first met the murderous Firefly family back in 2003 in House of 1000 Corpses, where there was literally a house full of mutilated corpses killed by this sadistic family. Maybe one day I will finally write an essay on Zombie’s films, but right now we’re going to talk about 3 FROM HELL. I enjoy Zombie’s very different take on Michael Myers’ story in his Halloween films as well. It’s worth watching just for Richard Brake’s demented performance as Doom-Head.

I think Lords of Salem is a cinematic masterpiece and I love 31, which I don’t think enough horror fans have given a chance. I know Rob Zombie’s films tend to be divisive among horror fans, but I am a huge fan of his work. It’s hard to believe it’s been fourteen years since The Devil’s Rejects, the second film in the trilogy. Rob Zombie’s 3 FROM HELL was one of my most anticipated horror movies this year.
