Rob Zombie’s 3 From Hell is the long-anticipated sequel to both House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects. Although the two films varied quite differently from one another in style and tone, and 3 From Hell looks to do the same – they all have three major connective characters. One of which is most famously Bill Moseley’s Otis Driftwood.
