Can you handle El Superbeasto?
Okay, like most everyone, I was more than a little underwhelmed by rocker/filmmaker Rob Zombie’s totally unnecessary 2007 reboot of the horror classic Halloween. But I’ve always liked the guy’s spirit, and his unabashed love for exploitation cinema.
So I’ve been wondering if his sleazy, long-gestating, masked-wrestler + zombies + mad doctor + strippers animated feature The Haunted World of El Superbeasto was ever going to see the light of day. Seems like I’d been hearing about it for a couple of years, and was forever seeing its listing on IMDB, without ever finding any updates.
Well, lo and behold, I guess my wait has been rewarded, because according to Zombie’s site Zombie World, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto is “coming soon” and there are five brand new stills (including one of a stitched-up Frankenstripper-type gal) to whet our appetites. Let’s see if this wonky genre mash-up actually gets a theatrical. I, for one, would pay good money to see a film where critically-acclaimed thesp Paul Giamatti voices a character named Dr. Satan!
The official El Superbeasto website is here. I’m sure when a trailer becomes available, it’ll get posted there first.
A nice blog, very interesting. Cheers for the information.
