I was hoping it may have been his 80's Holmes gig, Masks of Death etc.

I also have the DVD edition, and don't see how a BR release would improve much on it, really.

Now, Masks of Death would be a fantastic release. I wanted to watch it for so long, and ages ago had to buy a bootleg of it from one of those rare movie dealers on the web. It's so bittersweet.

Okay, so this is actually out now. It's got favorable reviews over on CHFB.

‘House of 1000 Corpses’ – Celebrate the 20th Anniversary With a Brand New Blu-ray Box Set! / Bloody Disgusting

"This year marks the 20th anniversary of Rob Zombie‘s feature debut House of 1000 Corpses, and Lionsgate is celebrating with a brand new Blu-ray release for the fan favorite film.

The 20th anniversary Blu-ray set will be released on April 11, 2023, and you’ll be able to get a special SteelBook version of the release exclusively through Best Buy.

When House of 1000 Corpses slashed its way into theaters 20 years ago, 1970s-style horror – and camp – returned with bone-snapping, scream-inducing vengeance. Zombie’s directorial debut, this first film of a trilogy introduces the Firefly family, backwoods sadists who plunge two young couples into a nightmare world of torture, satanic ritual, and cannibalism.

With a killer cast including horror legends Sheri Moon Zombie, Bill Moseley, Sid Haig, and Karen Black, House of 1000 Corpses is both a homage to a golden era and a scary good time from an innovative, unrivaled shock-master.

Special Features for the release – some of them BRAND NEW – include…"
