Tonight, as I made Marty watch House of 1000 Corpses with me, it struck me that it shares many passages with The Rocky Horror Picture Show (no linkage needed, none at all!). I know, most horror flicks presents a number of universal qualities, but these two aren't "most horror flick" material. (Especially since RHPS isn't a horror movie, per se.) These films are about freaks, acting it out, inviting non-freaks as their victims. There is also a flat tyre in rain, gratitude turning into captivity, awkward dinner, heavy make-up, shrilly girl-laughter, intense sexual liberation, and crawling in dirt with torn clothes in the end. Less scalping and maiming and wearing old dead men's skin in RHPS than in House of 1ooo Corpses, but still, same message.
There really are no limits to what we can do.
