Rob Zombie’s The Haunted World of El Superbeasto Red Band Trailer
Earlier this year we reported on the fact that Rob Zombie’s raunchy animated movie The Haunted World of El Superbeasto had run into some legal problems with Starz Media, which had delayed the release indefinitely. Finally back in June the DVD was officially announced, and now a trailer for the flick has appeared online. I should note that although there had been a short 30 second trailer floating around for the past month or so, this is the full red band trailer.
It certainly looks every bit as twisted as we’ve come to expect from Rob Zombie, but it also looks like a lot of fun. “When evil rises up, he stands erect!” The story revolves around El Superbeasto (Tom Papa), a washed up mexican wrestler who must fight the evil Dr. Satan (voiced by Paul Giamatti), while the art style looks like something in between Ren & Stimpy and Spongebob Squarepants (which kind of makes sense considering that co-director Doug Lawrence worked on both of those shows). The DVD and Blu-ray will contain deleted and alternate scenes plus a Superbeasto Contra Animatico feature. Look for it in stores on September 22nd; check out the red band trailer after the jump.

Nice… It looks fun
Posted by Drew on August 19th, 2009Zombie has to be one of the worst directors in the history of Hollywood….right up there with Uwe Boll and Bret Ratner.

Posted by Mike on August 19th, 2009I’m a reluctant fan of Zombie’s films, but I detest Adult Swim type cartoons and think this looks like an awful piece of shit.
Posted by Jon Rocks on August 19th, 2009If you’re gonna completely unsuccessfully bite John Kricfalusi’s style why not just hire HIM to co-write/co-direct this? Or better yet, just give HIM the money to make his own straight to DVD cartoon flick. He’s funnier and probably WAY raunchier than this garbage. I at least expected this to be surrealistic or kinda weird, but it just looks generic and lame. Give me some Venture Bros. any day…or even the Ripping Friends for that matter…
blechh…
