Rob Zombie Turns To Crowd-Sourcing

Rob Zombie has his virtual tin cup out, looking for spare change to fund his next movie, the horror film 31. Here's what Zombie had to say about the film and why he's turned to crowd-sourcing.

Welcome to my next film. It is called 31. It is the story of five random people kidnapped on the five days leading up to Halloween and held hostage in a place called Murder World. While trapped inside this man-made Hell they must fight to survive playing the most violent game known to man...a game called 31.

31 has no rules. 31 has no boundaries. It is ever so simple. Do whatever you can do to kill your opponent before they kill you. Keep this up for 12 hours and freedom is yours.

Who are the opponents? Well...a group of vile, filthy, blood-thirsty clowns known as THE HEADS. They come in all shapes and sizes and each grows nastier than the last.

What kind of film is this you ask? It is a fast paced, mean dirty film for those who like it rough. Get ready for a sick piece of celluloid! This is some hardcore business for the blood-thirsty gore hounds.

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!

The world of horror needs me! Where's my checkbook! Sigh. Unfortunately, as a poorly paid writer, I'm lucky to have money for crank - I mean "inspiration dust" - let alone a spare roll of nickles for a movie about "vile, blood-thirsty clowns" (aren't they all?). I'll just wait for the movie to come out. Zombie's movies are hit (Devil's Rejects) and miss (House of 1000 Corpses) but this does sound like an interesting idea.

If you want to help out, go here and drop some coin.

There is some pretty sweet concept art that has been released. You can find it after the break. But, be careful; they're some boobies on display. And we don't want to shock the children, do we?
