"House of 1000 Corpses" is the final track on Rob Zombie's second solo album The Sinister Urge.[1] The song was used in the 2003 horror movie of the same name, which was written and directed by Zombie.

Review

[edit]

The song features audio clips from Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS. Although the song runs for 9:26 on the album, the song itself only runs for 6:26. There is about a minute of static noise and then a hidden song titled "Unholy Three" (starts at 7:45) which occupies the remainder of the track. This is the second time Zombie has made extended pieces of music, the first being the 11-minute "Blood, Milk and Sky", released under Zombie's previous band, White Zombie.

Release

[edit]

The song also makes an appearance on Zombie's greatest hits album The Best of Rob Zombie.[2]

Production

[edit]

It is used over the opening credits to the horror movie of the same name, which was written and directed by Zombie, and appears on the movie's soundtrack album.[3]
