"House of 1000 Corpses" is the final track on Rob Zombie's second solo album The Sinister Urge.[1] The song was used in the 2003 horror movie of the same name, which was written and directed by Zombie.

Review

The song features audio clips from Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS. Although the song runs for 9:26 on the album, the song itself only runs for 6:26. There is about a minute of silence and then a hidden song titled "Unholy Three" which occupies the remainder of the track. This is the second time Zombie has made extended pieces of music, the first being the 11-minute "Blood, Milk and Sky", released under Zombie's previous band, White Zombie.

Release

The song also makes an appearance on Zombie's greatest hits album The Best of Rob Zombie.[2]

Production

In addition, it is used over the opening credits to the horror movie of the same name, which was written and directed by Zombie.[3]
