Texas Chainsaw


Why is no one talking about how the similarities between House of 1000 Corpses and TCM 2 and 4? The similarities are uncanny.

I believe that House of 1000 Corpses was meant to be a sequel to TCM. Rob Zombie never mentions the influence, but it is clearly there.

Most people are aware that H01C is heavily inspired by TCM. Maybe not many posts on MovieChat and archived IMDb threads about it but trust me in horror circles everyone knows and would agree with you.

To what capacity has Zombie acknowledged it?

Not sure he's on record stating TCM influenced HO1C. However he was a big admirer of Tobe Hoopers and wrote a Rolling Stones article, when Tobe passed away, about how TCM 'changed his life'.

So that is really all lol.

I would like him to admit how close the similarities are in terms of zaniness, monologue, characters, and storylines between House and TCM's 2 and 4

Thanks for the article
