Metal rocker Rob Zombie took home a Chainsaw Award for his gruesome horror movie “The Devil’s Rejects” in the “Killer Movie” category at Sunday night’s Fuse/Fangoria’s Chainsaw Awards.
The award show honored the best films and actors in the horror genre. Zombie’s prize was presented to the singer/director by Frddy Kruger himself – actor Robert Englund. Sheri Moon, Zombie’s wife, and actor Bill Moseley took home the "Relationship From Hell" award which was also presented to them for their work on Zombie’s "The Devil's Rejects."
Written and directed by Zombie, "Rejects" further explores the Dr. Satan Cult Murders by blending traditional horror elements with the Western genre to paint a shocking portrait of vigilante justice.
Hell-bent on revenging his brother's murder, Sheriff John Wydell (John Forsythe) takes law in his own hands, tracking down the Firefly family, with the help of a bounty hunting duo called The Unholy Two, in what culminates in one of the most depraved and terrifying showdowns in cinematic history.
Returning characters from "Houses of the 1000 Corpses" include Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig), Ois (Bill Mosley), Babay (Sheri Moon Zombie), Tiny (Matthew McGrorey) and Mother Firefly (Leslie Easterbrook)
The award show was held at the Orpheum Theatre, and will broadcast on the Fuse music channel on Oct. 22nd.
