The Haunted World of El Superbeasto (2009) is an animated comedy film that also combines elements of a horror and thriller film. It is based upon the comic book series created by Rob Zombie that follows the character of El Superbeasto and his sidekick sister, Suzi-X, voiced by Sheri Moon.
[edit] PlotThe film follows the adventures of El Superbeasto (Tom Papa), a washed-up Mexican luchador, and his sultry sidekick and sister Suzi-X (Sheri Moon Zombie) as they confront the evil Dr. Satan (Paul Giamatti). The adventure, set in the mythic world of Monsterland, also features Murray the Robot (Brian Posehn), based on the robot in The Phantom Creeps starring Béla Lugosi[1]. [edit] Cast
[edit] ProductionWork began on The Haunted World of El Superbeasto in 2006 and a release date was later scheduled for May 2007, but the film was completed in 2009. In an interview conducted on July 20, 2007 by shocktillyoudrop.com, Zombie explained that, "Nothing really much [is happening]." During that time, the film was still being animated, however, Zombie then began work on Halloween. He informed the animators that he had "to walk away because I can't split my time between two things". Zombie noted that work on The Haunted World of El Superbeasto "started when I was on Rejects and it's now just sitting on a shelf waiting for me to finish Halloween".[3] As of August, 2007 a first cut of the film was viewed by Zombie and which he said it was "awesome". He also referred to it as "crazy shit".[4] In a November 2007 interview with Bloody Disgusting, Zombie announced that the film was "almost finished". He went on to say that, although he was then on tour until February, "we will finally finish the music on Superbeasto and it'll be done" afterwards.[5] Rob Zombie had the following to say in a September 28, 2008 posting on the official El Superbeasto Myspace Page: "We're down to the end! 3 long years in the making and worth ever second. By Halloween this thing will be in the can completely DONE!" [6] According to a blog post on October 29, 2008, Defamer Magazine was privy to a "sneak peak" at scenes from The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, about which they said "it's good to know that if WALL-E falls short on its quest for Oscar gold, we now have another animated contender."[7] In an October 29, 2008, Blender Magazine interview, Rob Zombie stated that "I’ve been working on [El Superbeasto] for three years, and I’m actually in the last weeks of it--I’m mixing the sound this week. I’m not sure of the release date yet, but that’ll be out probably early 2009. It’s a full-length adult animated comedy."[8] The film has been screen-tested for a 2009 release by Anchor Bay Entertainment.[9] IGN's March 20, 2009 exclusive interview with Rob Zombie revealed that "[The Haunted World of El Superbeasto] was finished, but its release had been delayed because of ownership and legal issues within the company that made the movie, Starz Media." In that same interview, Rob Zombie described the film as ""Awesome...this little tiny half-a-million dollar direct-to-video movie that expanded into this $10 million animated extravaganza. And it's awesome, but I don't have a release date yet. It's like an R-rated adult/monster/sex comedy. There's nothing really like it that I can think of. People always say like Ralph Bakshi's stuff, but...it's [more] like if SpongeBob and Scooby-Doo were filthy." [10] The film, running feature length at 75 minutes, was released on DVD on September 22.[11] The MPAA rating on the film is R. Also of note; the music is performed by Hard & Phirm, a comedy group starring Chris Hardwick. [edit] References
