Rob Zombie, writer and director of cult Grindhouse inspired films House of 1,000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects as well as The Lords of Salem and his own take on John Carpenter’s Halloween, has his next film lined up and is turning to crowd-funding to help finance it.
Why crowd-funding?
I’m crowd-funding because I realize that it’s an incredible opportunity to engage the fans. They’ve always been the most important thing for me because, with metal and horror, the fans aren’t just fans – it’s their life, their lifestyle. They live and breathe it, as I do, and any way that you can bring the people that are as passionate about it as you are into the process is a win-win for everybody.Get on board! Get involved! Be part of this horrifying business! The world of horror needs you!
Researching Halloween, Zombie discovered that more people go missing on this day than any other inspired by this the film maker came up with the idea for “31”. The film is the story of five strangers kidnapped in the five days leading up to Halloween. The group find themselves having to fight for their survival in a nightmarish place called Murder World. They are forced to play a twisted game named 31 where they have to face and kill their opponents a group of clowns known as “The Heads” within 12 hours in order to gain their freedom.
