Go To


1	* AdaptationDisplacement: Not many people are aware that the idea of the film came from a haunted house attraction also named ''House of 1000 Corpses'', which Music/RobZombie created in 1999 for [[Theatre/HalloweenHorrorNights Universal's Halloween Horror Nights]].
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Plenty of Music/RobZombie songs, along with some truly creepy instrumental pieces courtesy of composer Scott Humphrey.
3	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Every now and then the movie will cut into nonsensical, colorful shots of rednecks and old women talking about how they were violated by a monster.
4	** There's also a cutaway of [[TheFundamentalist unhinged religious man]] talking about there's no way to get to {{Hell}}, [[CrapsackWorld since we're already there.]] Though this still fits with the movies themes.
5	* CriticalDissonance: Critics ''panned'' the movie for being rather vapid and confusing. Viewers tend to either be indifferent to the film, dislike it for the same reasons as critics, or love it because of its weird, twisted and near psychedelic 70’s vibe.
6	* EnsembleDarkhorse:
7	** Captain Spaulding is widely agreed to be the best part of the movie, thanks to being a MonsterClown who alternates between being menacing and genuinely funny. He proved so popular that he was given a bigger role in ''Film/TheDevilsRejects''.
8	** Bill as well. He is admittedly prominent in the film's first act, [[spoiler:but he's killed off quickly after it ends]]. However, he's the most popular of the protagonists for being a sincerely likable kind and dorky NiceGuy, and one of the few characters not to be a {{Jerkass}}.
9	* HilariousInHindsight: Captain Spaulding insisting to Bill that he doesn't drive across the country is amusing when he tries to do exactly that while on the run with Otis and Baby in ''Film/TheDevilsRejects''.
10	* RetroactiveRecognition: Hey, look! Fish Boy is [[Series/TheOfficeUS Dwight Schrute!]]
11	** And maybe Jerry should be awarding [[Series/AtMidnight points.]]
12	** Creator/WaltonGoggins has a supporting role as a cop, long before he became an acclaimed character actor.
13	* SpecialEffectsFailure: The mask made of Denise's dad's face is very obviously fake. [[NightmareFuel Otis' actions during that scene more than make up for it, though.]]
14	* SpiritualAdaptation: Though Rob Zombie was inspired by the original film in some way, many have said that this was a better remake of ''Film/TheTexasChainSawMassacre1974'' than the official [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre2003 2003 remake]].
15	* TearJerker: Denise's father's final thought after Otis shoots him, showing his family at Christmas time.
