The viewers have spoken, TOMORROW NIGHT on FFBMN it’s the 80s classic,The ‘Burbs!! Join us for the live watchparty Friday 9 pm EST for free @tubi !!! #FFBMovienight

In the burial scene where the caskets are lowered into the ground with a tape recorder, the recording is a slowed down clip of Aleister Crowley repeating "bury me in a nameless grave" which is the opening line from his poem "The Poet" recorded in 1920. #FFBMovieNight #HouseOf1000Corpses

This film would establish Sheri Moon Zombie as a Scream Queen. Ironically enough, she does not like horror films as they scare her too much. #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

In the beginning of the film, Dr. Wolfenstein says "I'm your host, your ghost host with the most!" This is a reference to both Disney's Haunted Mansion ("I am your host, your ghost host,") and Beetlejuice ("I'm the ghost with the most, babe.") #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

The lo-fi, grungy cutaways including the opening title sequence and the serial killer "flashbacks" during the murder ride were predominantly filmed by Rob Zombie himself on a camcorder during the film's year-long stint in production limbo. #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

As of 2021, many of the film's stars have passed away, including Karen Black, Sid Haig, Tom Towles, Dennis Fimple, Irwin Keyes, Matthew McCrory and Michael J. Pollard. This seems to be a rare distinction for a movie that is not yet 20 years old. #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

(at around 4 mins) The robber's line about "grease paint" and "brains" is a reference to the song "Grease Paint And Monkey Brains" by Rob Zombie's former band, White Zombie. #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

When the gang are eating dessert at the family's dinner table, the actors are actually eating Tiny Firefly actor Matthew McGrory's birthday cake. Zombie stresses that anytime we see Grandpa Hugo eating onscreen, Dennis Fimple was actually eating during every take. #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

The original, 105 minute version of the film was screened at a film festival prior to Lionsgate obtaining it. The version briefly leaked online on a peer-to-peer website, however, it was quickly replaced by the screener. It is extremely rare to find but the full length version exists. #FFBMovieNight

(at around 53 mins) The Munsters (1964) is playing on the television. Specifically the episode Hot Rod Herman (1965), where Grandpa Munster builds a drag racer called 'drag-u-la'. Rob Zombie releases a track of the same name in 1998. #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

The film's script was constantly changing, leading to an entirely different ending at one point. Originally Grandpa Hugo was going to be revealed as the mad doctor (who in the rough cut was not even called Dr. Satan). #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

The Fireflies are seen watching The Munsters because Rob Zombie felt that they would share his love for show about a loving family of freaks #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

In the scene where Denise is being pursued by the axe-wielding Professor, the axe was very real and very sharp. McKinnon wasn't a stuntman and was effectively blinded by his head appliance, making it a near-miracle that no one was maimed. #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

(at around 17 mins) Sheri Moon Zombie also appears as an extra during the neighborhood trick-or-treating scene, playing the tall young woman dressed as a nurse and pushing a baby carriage. #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

Inside Capt. Spaulding's gas bar/fast food/museum of horror, behind the cash on the wall are reproductions of Aleister Crowley's paintings of demonic figures which were later discovered under whitewash in his former Abbey of Thelema, in Cefalu, Italy. #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

(at around 17 mins) When Denise calls her father, there is a Missing Dog Head poster in the phone booth. The exact origin is unknown, but the poster is a very strange "real" item that was spotted in New York City. #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

(at around 17 mins) As Harrison Young's character looks out the window at the children trick or treating, you can see the house used in the original The Munsters (1964), located on the Universal back lot. His house is the home used in Leave It to Beaver (1957). #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

A scene was cut in the robbery sequence where Spaulding pressed a panic button and it alerted Ravelli to the robbers' presence. This explains why Ravelli suddenly bursts through the door in his mask. #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

Universal Pictures (original production company) refused to release the film, believing it would be given an "NC-17" rating by the MPAA. #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

The actual house is the same used in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982), which can be viewed during Universal Studios' tram ride. However, during filming Universal refused to stop the tram tours, which delayed filming during many scenes. #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

This was Dennis Fimple's last film. He was increasingly sick with heart disease during filming and a few of his scenes were filmed with him sitting down. Ultimately however, he died in a car crash in 2002. #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

In 2014, Rob Zombie acknowledged the movie's cult following but admitted that he himself is not fond of it. Zombie called the film "a calamitous mess [...] All I see is flaw, upon flaw, upon flaw...upon flaw" #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses

There is more than one instance where you see a poster for two missing young boys. Those boys were actually pictures of Rob Zombie and his brother (the lead singer of Powerman 5000) as children. #FFBMovieNight #Houseofa1000Corpses
