This came out in 2003 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
There’s weird and then there’s really weird.
Case in point: The fact that the soundtrack to Rob Zombie’s new gore-flick House of 1,000 Corpses includes a cover of The Commodores’ Brick House performed by Zombie and Lionel Richie? That’s weird. But the fact that the tune shucks and jives and generally smokes like a crematorium working overtime? That’s really weird. In fact, the only thing weirder is how good the rest of this disc is. Unlike Zombie’s usual two-dimensional, cartoon-horror metal, this set is entertainingly varied — there are half a dozen new Zombie cuts that are more laid-back and moody than usual, along with a batch of suitably spooky incidental music, plenty of wacky dialogue snippets and cornpone classics by the likes of Slim Whitman and Buck Owens. Whether or not Zombie plans on directing any more movies, he’s welcome to keep making soundtracks.
