Rob Zombie’s ‘Firefly Trilogy’ Arrives on 4K With ‘House of 1000 Corpses’ Upgrade
Rob Zombie’s complete Firefly Trilogy is now available in a new eight-disc collector’s edition from Lionsgate, bringing House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects and 3 From Hell together with new collectibles and legacy bonus material.
Released Oct. 13 on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and digital, the collection also marks the first time Zombie’s 2002 feature directorial debut House of 1000 Corpses has been released on 4K Ultra HD.
Written and directed by Zombie, the three films follow the Firefly family across a series that began with House of 1000 Corpses. The first film follows a group of young travelers whose trip through America’s backroads brings them into contact with the Firefly clan.
Zombie continued the story with 2005’s The Devil’s Rejects, shifting the focus to members of the family as they flee law enforcement and face Sheriff Wydell. The trilogy eventually returned in 2019 with 3 From Hell, following surviving members of the group after their imprisonment.
Sid Haig, Bill Moseley and Sheri Moon Zombie became recurring figures across the series. House of 1000 Corpses also stars Karen Black, while The Devil’s Rejects features Ken Foree, Matthew McGrory and William Forsythe. 3 From Hell adds Richard Brake, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Dee Wallace, Emilio Rivera and Danny Trejo to its ensemble, with Haig returning as Captain Spaulding.
The new Lionsgate edition packages all three films across eight discs and includes an exclusive collectible poster and a photography book curated by Zombie. The collection also features artwork connected to the filmmaker and additional artwork by artist Vance Kelly.
Two bonus discs collect archival special features and documentaries from the trilogy.
House of 1000 Corpses includes a feature-length audio commentary from Zombie, along with behind-the-scenes material on the Blu-ray. The Devil’s Rejects is accompanied by the feature-length documentary 30 Days in Hell: The Making of The Devil’s Rejects, as well as additional behind-the-scenes footage and commentaries.
For 3 From Hell, the collection includes Zombie’s audio commentary and the four-part documentary To Hell and Back: The Making of 3 From Hell.
The three films have a combined feature runtime of approximately 312 minutes.
The collection also provides upgraded presentation options for portions of the trilogy. House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects are presented in Dolby Vision in their 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Audio specifications include English 5.1 Dolby TrueHD for House of 1000 Corpses, English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio for The Devil’s Rejects and English 7.1 Dolby TrueHD for 3 From Hell.
Beginning with House of 1000 Corpses in 2002 and continuing through 3 From Hell in 2019, the three films span nearly two decades of Zombie’s filmmaking career. The new release consolidates the trilogy and its existing supplemental material while adding the first 4K edition of the film that introduced the Firefly family.
Rob Zombie’s Firefly Trilogy is available now from Lionsgate on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and digital.
