So this week Rob Zombie teased about an upcoming movie if you haven't seen it look here.......
So in my too much time on my hands sort of way I went looking for clues and answers. And guess what not a darn thing lots and lots of rumors and guessing. Well thats fine because we can do that with the best of them. First is that a 3I or 31 Zombie confirmed it was indeed a 31.
Now lets take a look at the clown picture again. I'm already creeped out. what we know for sure is that it's a man in clown make up. But is that enough to go on. No but in an email he said the film is "for the hardcore fans who want it nasty and brutal." OK still not a lot to go on. so lets look at five possible scenarios.1. The Captain Spaulding/Rejects Theory
Maybe it's a prequel for a back story on Capt. Spaulding and the rest of the Firefly clan. It would fit in with the "nasty and brutal" quote And the pictures below do look like they could be the same person.
But wouldn't that be to easy for such a well thought out tease. And where does 31 come into play.
2. The "well it has to be Halloween 3" crowd
You can't deny that would make a lot of sense with what we know.
Halloween falls on October 31, and he may be taking the franchise on a darker turn. but that doesn't look like that Bill Shatner mask from Halloween movie fame, you right but remember when little Michael Myers is going out trick or treating hhmmmm.
I know right that could be it. We got 31 check
We got clown tie in check
But thats all we got. Maybe it's not another sequel as much as it's a total reboot on it. Making him more scary by making him more human.
3. American Horror Season 4
I get what you're thinking but here me out. Rob Zombie may be taking a stab at directing a few episodes of American Horror Story. It premieres around Halloween. This season is titled "Freak Show" and takes place in a carnival. And for the kicker Michael Chiklis has been tapped to be on it. So see any resemblance here
I don't think it's too far of a stretch to see a resemblance between teaser clown and the commish.
4. "It" Remake
Well we know that a remake of Stephen Kings "It" is on the books for sometime in 2015. And it would be a shocker to have the minds of King and Zombie meld in a gorefest. but it doesn't fit the 31 unless it's a release date.
I can see it, if i try hard enough
And that brings us to the last visit on the rumor mill train.
5. John Wayne Gacy
It is said he killed between 27 and 33 young men. and he did dress up like a clown. Rob zombie could pull off a hellish version of this story and the picture is passable.
Please leave your comments on your own theories below
Here's the buzz on it from the rest of the internet
Rob Zombie has announced the title of his next horror film: 31. The revelation comes courtesy of a promo video posted on his website spanning his cinematic career, which you can find below. That clown mask appears to be integral to the plot, but if you're looking for plot details, you're shit out of luck.
That said, an email from Zombie claims this film is "for the hardcore fans who want it nasty and brutal."
Presumably this is the same project Zombie talked up back in February, when he said, "I think it's something fans of the other stuff will like. Probably fans of The Devil's Rejects will enjoy the most. It's not connected to that film but it's more on that headspace".
We'll see what further details we can grab onto - you'll get 'em as soon as we do!

Rob Zombie has been busy lately, not only touring and working on music, but also getting to work on his next film. Now, the rocker-director has officially announced his new horror flick, titled ’3I,’ with a new visual promo (seen above).
In the video, Zombie’s career with horror films is examined, from his first movie ‘House of 1,000 Corpses’ up to his most recent flick ‘Lords of Salem,’ before the new film is teased. All that we get however is a scary looking man in clown makeup, similar to Captain Spalding from his early films, with the film title ’3I.’
What does it all mean? We’ll have to wait and find out, but Zombie did respond to a few commenters on his Facebook page, promising that it will be “nasty and disgusting,” and also dissuading those who proposed that the film would be a Captain Spalding prequel.
We do know who will be creating the score for the film — Rob Zombie’s very own guitarist John 5! The axeman revealed the news via his Instagram page.

The cinematic ouevre of Rob Zombie is reflected upon in a teaser for a new directorial effort called 31. What do we know? Well, the title. Also, it's going to be "hardcore." The video – which debuted at the rocker-director's official site – asks you to sign up for the Rob Zombie newsletter to stay up-to-date.
The final image of the promo gives us a creepy clown visage. That doesn't say much. What does 31 refer to?
The number of days in the month of October? Halloween takes place on October 31st. Grotesque clown visage + 31 = Halloween night to me. Maybe not necessarily a Halloween film, per se, but a film set around that time?
Specultate away. I'm curious to hear what you think.
