Rob Zombie Shares BTS House of 1000 Corpses Pics With The Office’s Rainn Wilson

Musician and filmmaker Rob Zombie has shared some behind-the-scenes photos from his 2003 debut, House of 1000 Corpses, alongside The Office star, Rainn Wilson. Zombie cast Wilson in the film prior to Wilson’s breakthrough roles in HBO’s Six Feet Under and The Office. The horror film told the story of a group of Texas teens who go looking for serial killer lore and end up finding much more than they bargained for.

For years prior to launching his career as a filmmaker, Zombie (whose real name was Robert Cummings before he legally changed it) was known for his work as the frontman of metal band, White Zombie. The band’s lifespan was a relatively short one, and Zombie continued on with a solo career after White Zombie disbanded. As a dedicated fan of the horror genre, Zombie infused the horror movie aesthetic — particularly early Hollywood’s penchant for the creature feature — into everything from his music to his appearance and live shows. As a result, it wasn’t that much of a surprise to fans when he revealed in 1999 that he was working on his debut film as a director. After considerable delays in finding a distributor, House of 1000 Corpses was finally released in April of 2003.

Unfortunately, the film was a critical flop, but that certainly hasn’t changed how Zombie’s fans feel about it. 19 years on from its original release, House of 1000 Corpses is every bit as niche as it was originally intended to be, and Zombie is clearly quite proud of the film. Taking to his official Instagram account to celebrate the film’s 19th anniversary, Zombie is pictured alongside Rainn Wilson, as well as his wife, actress Sheri Moon Zombie, in a behind-the-scenes photo from 1000 Corpses’
