The Zombie Horror Picture Show is the first concert film by American musician Rob Zombie, released May 19, 2014 on DVD and Blu-ray.[1] It has a runtime of one hour and twenty one minutes.[1]

Background/Production

[edit]

This film documents two performances within the tour following the release Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor.[1] These performances took place on August 3rd and 4th, during the Mayhem Festival 2013, at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion and the Dos Equis Pavilion (formerly known as the Gexa Energy Pavilion). [1][2][3]This film was pressured into production by Zombie's manager since his band was the only one that "didn't have a DVD"[4] While he was not enthralled by the idea, Zombie finally caved and started filming once he decided that the band's performances were good enough to be documented and made into an official concert film.[4]

Synopsis

[edit]

Opening with "Teenage Nosferatu Pussy", viewers get to witness the live performance of a 17-song track list, featuring 16 Rob Zombie originals and a cover of We're an American Band.[5]The multi-media production captures a variety of engaging visuals and theatrics throughout the shows.[6] The performance features on screen visuals, large animatronics, pyrotechnics, costumes worn by the band, and various props used by the band members.[7] The band consists of Rob Zombie (vocals), John 5 (guitarist), Piggy D. (bass), and Ginger Fish (drums).[1] Amongst Zombie's energetic performance, the film also highlights the other band members by including guitar and drum solos.[7] Various clips of the audience are included as well, showing fans in their Rob Zombie inspired attire and lots of shirtless women.[7]

Post Production

[edit]
