Rob Zombie, I think, I remember when, not only do I remember when House of a Thousand Corpses came out, I remember when news reached everybody's ears that he was going to try his hand at directing.
You know, always one of my favorite musicians.
You know, always bought his albums on day one.

And, you know, it's his first film, so he's just trying to get every idea he's ever had into this.
And, you know, and he does a great job.
He does a great job.
I'm going to drink coffee here.
