Part 1: Rob Zombie: Halloween, House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects

Let me make something perfectly fucking clear, okay? Rob Zombie & Sheri Moon Zombie are not suspected of pedaling corruption until proven otherwise!

Remember that there are many allies in this battle, within the many corrupted industries, much effort has been expended in attempting to smear these allies and otherwise make the following difficult to present.

Let's get right into it, Zombie's work is riddled with hints...

1a: Halloween (2007 film)

Remember Kemper and his fascination with mutilating cats?

Rob Zombie's "reimagining" follows the premise of John Carpenter's original, with Michael Myers stalking Laurie Strode and her friends on Halloween night. Zombie's film goes deeper into the character's psyche, trying to answer the question of what drove him to kill people, whereas in Carpenter's original film Michael did not have an explicit reason for killing.

Edmund Emil Kemper III

He was also intelligent but exhibited antisocial and psychopathic behavior such as cruelty to animals: at the age of 10, he buried a pet cat alive; once it died, he dug it up, decapitated it and mounted its head on a spike.[9][10] Kemper later stated that he derived pleasure from successfully lying to his family about killing the cat.[11] At the age of 13, he killed another family cat when he perceived it to be favoring his younger sister, Allyn, more than him, and kept pieces of it in his closet until his mother found them.[12][13]

The beginning of the film depict's Michael Myers("MM" henceforth) childhood as being riddled with abuse at the hands of just about everyone in his life, bar his Mother, baby sister(whom he adored in a platonic manner) and a Dr Loomis(a psychiatrist who would go on to spend a lifetime trying to help MM)... bullies, step father(s), siblings, etc... a total outcast driven to lunacy, animal cruelty and ultimately his first kill; a bully who was himself as a terrible bully to MM, taking out his own personal frustrations about the pressures of school from his overbearing parents.

At one point during the depiction of MM's childhood, we see his school principal confront his mother in a private meeting, producing a dead cat in a plastic bag, along with countless photos depicting animal abuse(allegedly found in MM's locker/bag).

1b: House of 1000 Corpses(H1kC), The Devil's Rejects(TDR)

In H1kC we learn of the protagonist, albeit murderous, 'Firefly' family("the family" henceforth) in earlier days to what would later be depicted in TDR. TDR deals with the climax and fall of the protagonists, exploring also, a far more human side to the characters - in contrast to the events of H1kC, which become very... abstract... towards the end.

In H1kC: The film is set seemingly well into an established killing spree that the family is performing with a severe degree of secrecy and a cunning trap which lures motorists to their death in a very remote area, facilitated by someone who operates the only apparent 'Food & Gas' stop for miles, from where he(in character dressed as a clown; "the clown" henceforth) sells his allegedly famous chicken and also a creepy mind bending (small) amusement train ride devoted to famous killers(priming visitors with fear), afterwards, he directs the visitors, seemingly, in the direction they need to go to continue their journey...

A trap ensues, however, unaware to the danger they're walking into, the visitors are taken off guard by seemingly sincere offers of help from the family, who are actually the ones who trapped them.

The movie takes on a seriously morbid tone from here, watch at your discretion, I must press on.

In TDR: Look, this movie is fucked up, I say that with utmost respect and I warn you all to steel your stomachs if ever you dare to watch it... If you watch either of these movies even, remember to take it with a grain of salt and to read well between the lines - I missed all of the important shit when this movie was first introduced to my life - worth noting, I suppose, is that I saw TDR before H1kC, but, I digress...

The intro deals with the final day that the family was protected by secrecy; police pull up at their farmhouse early in the morning, awaking the family while they are sleeping(note that a severely burned, giant-in-height, lumbering mute family member is away form the home on this morning, dragging a dayse(+) old corpse through the woods, known as "Tiny" - all respect to the actor - he witnesses the police driving up to the property and leaves the scene).

A firefight ensues when the family refuses demands to surrender peacefully.

The family members are armed with weapons such as a BAR1918 and M16, dressing themselves in home-fashioned, metal armor plating, akin to a blend of Ned Kelly and medieval design.

The firefight leaves one family member dead(most armored, BAR carrier), "Mother Firefly"("MF", no, not the mod) rushes to her 'son' as he lay dying, while "Otis" and "Baby" flee through the basement, in which we catch glimpses of countless caged, yet living, victims of the family.

MF attempts suicide with her revolver, in lieu of capture, the gun is empty(or jams) and she is captured.

MF is questioned by Sheriff Wydell(SW), at which point she reveals to him that she killed his kin in the events of H1kC, another police officer who, with his partner, briefly chanced upon the family's home while investigating missing cheerleaders, which the family did indeed, at the time, have at their property, hidden away in various stages of torture and postmortem violation.

SW becomes enraged and strikes MF, then violently confronts her choked against the wall by himself. He in a livid manner, threatens to skin her family members alive when he catches up with them; resulting in his nearby partners wrestling him from MF.

MF cackles in ecstacy, taunting him to "go get your ghosts", informing him also that he's getting himself into something "He ain't ever getting out of"; she corrupted him with trauma and indeed, direct touch.

The rest of the movie explores the family evading capture and continuing their crimes along the way, while they wait meet up with the clown(and his contacts later, at some sort of mini backwater mock-vegas, gambling, drugs, prostitution, etc), who apparently has marginally expanded his business venture and leaves that and his female friend behind at learning of the shootout at the family home.

Spoiler: The movie culminates in SW going mad and attempting to murder the family and burn down their house, after capturing them by hiring violent backwater bounty hunters to find the escaped family members and assist with their capture - several ancillary characters(prostitutes and etc).

Tiny returns to kill SW at the last minute, sparing the lives of Otis, the clown and Baby - who drive off into the night as Tiny, aware of his impending fat, walks into the burning wreckage of the late family home, to die.

The family is ultimately cut off by a police roadblock, at which point they go out in a hail of bullets

Part 2: Friday 13th(movies)

Gonna keep this short, running out of room, this one is more for references sake at the moment.

Most of us know the underlying story of this one, Jason Vorhees, disfigured child of an abusive(perhaps incest?) mother, sent away to a camp, drowned by bullies who, unaware of his inability to swim, pushed him into the lake that the camp is constructed near.(Explored in Freddy vs Jason wherein Freddy Kreuger, is accused of being a pedophile, by the townspeople - then summarily burned alive in his home by an illegally formed mob)

There is seemingly no explanation for the gargantuant killer, assumed to be Jason, according to urban legend circulated amongst youngsters.

I'll be straight with you now, I feel that these movies STRONGLY allude to clandestine(CIA/FBI/<unnamed agencies>/etc) involvement in mass-scale psychological trauma as a cover for their nefarious and morbid 'family controlled' crimes spanning a very very long time.

I think, although hard to stomach, Rob Zombie has provided seriously valuable clues in much of his work, to be further explored in the next submission.
