As part of the 2022 Annual Horror Movie Countdown, I re-watched Rob Zombie's House of a Thousand Corpses (2003). I normally don't do rewatches because the whole point of this challenge is to experience new horror, but Mark had never seen it, and I only saw it once, when I was 18, so 15 years ago. At the time, I found it really powerful, shocking, and viscerally disturbing. It didn't have quite the same impact this time (for one thing, now that The Office has happened, it's hard to see Rainn Wilson without thinking of Dwight) -- but I still think it's an underrated movie. Yes, it's a little all-over-the-place, but this ghoulish family nails several horror archetypes, from yandere "Baby" to psycho Otis, and more. I still love it.
