With Rob Zombie’s 3 from Hell having recently finished shooting, the director has now moved to confirm another name who’s a part of the picture.
Taking to his social media channels, Zombie confirmed that Bill Oberst Jr. has a role in the follow-up to The Devil’s Rejects.
Oberst Jr. is likely best known to genre fans for the likes of Scream Queens, Death House, Hunting Grounds, and Ayla.
Already confirmed for 3 from Hell are the returning Sheri Moon Zombie, Bill Moseley, Sid Haig, Danny Trejo, and Daniel Roebuck, with new additions in the shape of Richard Brake, Austin Stoker, Dee Wallace, Dot-Marie Jones, Tom Papa, Jeff Daniels Phillips, David Ury, Kevin Jackson, Richard Riehle, Sean Whalen, and Clint Howard.
Zombie, Moseley, and Haig famously played Baby, Otis, and Captain Spaulding in The House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects, while Trejo appeared as Rondo in The Devil’s Rejects and Roebuck had the small role of TV host Morris Green in that same film. Those four aren’t the only ones to have previous with Rob Zombie, however, with Tom Papa having voiced El Superbeasto in the animated The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, Jeff Daniel Phillips having played Seymour Coffins in Halloween 2, Richard Brake, David Ury and Pancho Moler portraying Doom-Head, Schizo-Head and Sick-Head, respectively, in 2016’s 31, Kevin Jackson being one of the victims in 31, and Richard Riehle and Sean Whalen having both had a role in Halloween II. Elsewhere, we know that Clint Howard’s role will be that of a new clown dubbed Mr Baggy Britches.
3 from Hell has just wrapped filming, with an official release date to be confirmed a little later down the line. As ever, expect more on the return of the Firefly family as we get it.
