31- Rob Zombie Movie

[thecolorsblend]

Just watched 31, the Rob Zombie movie. Not a great movie. And it kind of serves as proof that Rob Zombie's love for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre may very well influence everything he ever does.

Still, one thing that stood out to me was the character of Doom-Head. Doom-Head is a very Joker-like character. Well, about as Joker-like as Zombie can probably manage.



Doom-Head has a bit of a whimsical side and he obviously enjoys murder beyond just the money he's getting paid. Plus, the white face paint and the bloody lips all seem like kind of obvious Joker visuals. Also, Doom-Head's opening monologue directly references clowns.

No idea if any of this was completely intentional. But between Doom-Head's lack of a civilian name and his affection for knives and blades, I'd be shocked if Ledger's Joker wasn't somewhere in Zombie's head when he created the Doom-Head character.

Anyway.
