Tom’s family has influences his love for the occult, and he desires to die and live again (unlike his father, who didn’t make it back).Īfter Tom’s mother allows him to enter a forbidden room in the house, he overhears her talking about how you come back- you’ve got to kill yourself and believe without any doubt that you’re going to come back. Aside from running the estate, Shadwell also enjoys studying frogs (which this film attributes as a satanic animal apparently). Shadwell seems to be the enforcer of this policy, evicting a family when they try to give him a jeweled cross as a gift. She does this as a charity, and insists that no one ever pay her for her services. Tom’s mother enjoys holding seances allowing loved ones to speak to their dead family members. The interesting thing about the gang’s hangout is that Tom’s mother, as well as her butler, Shadwell, know for a fact it is indeed haunted. Aside from tormenting the local townsfolk, the MC likes to hang out at a place known as The Seven Witches, a graveyard that some believe is haunted. What makes this bad for everyone else is the face that they’re all occult bikers, who lovingly call their gang "The Living Dead".

However, it wasn’t long before Easton Ellis revealed that the project was dead in the water, suggesting that the social media buzz about it led NBC to green light the Manson-inspired series “Aquarius” Fox, as a result, scrapped their plans.The Film– British lad Tom enjoys spending time with his friends. The idea was to tell converging stories of people and events leading up to and after the infamous 1969 murders, told from shifting points of view. The plan, as announced in 2014, was that Zombie and American Psycho writer Bret Easton Ellis would collaborate on the small screen mini-series for Fox, with Ellis writing and Zombie directing. It’s no secret that Rob Zombie is incredibly fascinated by Charles Manson, so much so that many elements of the so-called “Manson family murders” have worked their way into his films, so it came as no big surprise when it was announced that Zombie was developing a series about Manson and his female followers. Will it ever roar back to life? We can only hope. Described by Zombie as an “ incredibly violent” homage to ’70s action movies, Tyrannosaurus Rex was teased with various pieces of concept art (seen above), but the whole thing dropped off the face of the Earth when Zombie instead directed Halloween II.

Scheduled, at the time, for release in 2009, the film was set to be an adaptation of the Steve Niles/Rob Zombie comic book The Nail, centered on a badass professional wrestler who runs afoul of a bloodthirsty gang of Satanic bikers in North Dakota.

Hands down the coolest unmade Rob Zombie movie of them all is Tyrannosaurus Rex, which Zombie began teasing in 2008. Alas, after the nightmarish experience he had making both Halloween and Halloween II, Zombie reverted back to his original promise of never directing a remake, and he departed the project. He also revealed that the film’s second remake was going to be very dark and deadly serious. Back in 2009 it was reported that Zombie would be making his own version of The Blob, and in an interview he strongly implied that the film would center on an original creature from outer space, rather than a gelatinous mass of goo. Prior to directing Halloween, Rob Zombie famously noted that he had no desire to ever remake another filmmaker’s work, and in the wake of Halloween, he became attached to yet another remake. Zombie’s The Crow: 2037 script was eventually reworked into a standalone project that also never came to fruition. True to the franchise, the boy rises from the dead and becomes a vengeful assassin. The script began on Halloween night in 2010, the story kicking off with a young boy and his mother being murdered by a Satanic priest.
At the time, the future-set film would’ve followed in the wake of The Crow: City of Angels, and though it was of course never made, Zombie did write a script.
From a couple of remakes to an original film we’re still begging to see, here are 5 awesome horror projects that Rob Zombie *almost* directed!Ī couple years before production began on House of 1000 Corpses, Rob Zombie was originally set to make his directorial debut with new franchise installment The Crow 2037: A New Age of Gods and Monsters. With 31 set to hit limited theaters for one-night-only on September 1st, followed by a planned VOD release on September 16th and standard theatrical roll-out on October 21st, we thought it’d be fun to look back on the horror flicks Zombie didn’t get to make, rather than the ones he did.
