June 25th, 2009

A few days ago we reported that Rob Zombie’s creation The Haunted World of El Superbeasto was available for pre-order via several online retailers. At the time we didn’t have a release date, but today we’ve got word when to expect this twisted little animated flick.

A longtime pet project of Zombie (based on his comic book of the same name), The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, is the twisted tale of El Superbeasto (voiced by Tom Papa), a former world class masked wrestler with super human strength, who now finds himself in the very ordinary capacity as producer/director/star of BeastoWorld Enterprises. But when he can, Beasto spends time fighting evil along with his with his super-sexy sister, Suzi X (Sheri Moon Zombie), in the spooky Monsterland. Our hefty hero faces his biggest battle when he struggles to stop the unholy marriage of foul-mouthed stripper Velvet Von Black (Rosario Dawson) and the diabolical Dr. Satan (Paul Giamatti). Will all hell break loose or will our man save the day? The answer can only be found in The Haunted World of El Superbeasto.

Bill Moseley, Sid Haig, Daniel Roebuck, Harland Williams, Cassandra Peterson, Clint Howard, Dee Wallace, Rob Paulsen, Tura Satana, and Danny Trejo also lend their vocal talents.

Anchor Bay will release the movie to Blu-ray and DVD on September 22. No word yet on supplemental material, but we’ll bring it to you as we have it.

The Haunted World of El Superbeasto is directed by the triple threat of Mr. Lawrence, Carey Yost, and of course, Rob Zombie.
