Last weekend, director Rob Zombie returned with a new horror-thriller entitled 31, which is currently playing in select theaters and available on VOD formats. Some fans are still waiting for an extended edition of his directorial debut, House of 1000 Corpses. But those fans seemingly shouldn't hold their breath for this to come out. The director spoke about this long-awaited extended edition in a recent interview, and it seems it may never be released.

John Probyn, of Live Nation UK, claims that the wristbands will be unique to each ticket holder. "If Fred Bloggs comes in, I can ask him for identification to prove he is that person,...
