Eye Candy #361 - "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto"

The Haunted World of El Superbeasto:  Decidedly NOT for children, this animated musical is from the mind of Rob Zombie.  Equal parts Ren & Stimpy, Hanna-Barbera cartoons from the 1960’s & 70’s, Foster’s Home for Imaginary Pets, and porn, the plot combines Mexican wrestlers, sex, one-eyed super-spies, sex, boobs, zombie Nazis bikers, Hitler’s head in a jar, werewolves, a talking gorilla, and sex, as dim-bulb ex-wrestler Superbeasto and his sidekick Suzi-X fight Dr. Satan (Paul Giamatti), to save stripper Velvet Von Black (Rosario Dawson) in Monsterland.  I guess you could call this “the lighter side of Rob Zombie”.  In production for years, it’s wildly crude, and for a comedy, not really that funny.  If cartoon boobs are your thing…then this is all about your thing.    Fine for what it is, but not remarkable.  When Zombie described it as “if Spongebob and Scooby-doo were filthy”, he was right on the money.  Best line - “Love is a battlefield.  Ah, the wisdom of Benatar.” Woodchuck sez, “Eh.”
