Trivia
Courtney Gains, Tony Todd, and PJ Soles were all cast to add "horror name recognition" to the film. Courtney Gains is best known for portraying Malachi in Children of the Corn (1984), Tony Todd's best known horror role was as the titular character in Candyman (1992) , and PJ Soles gained her horror cred as Lynda in Halloween (1978) and as Norma in Carrie (1976).

Goofs
Dr Death's stage makeup changes from leaving his caravan to appearing on stage. He sets out looking like the end has burst open, but starts his act with something more like a kitten nose.

Quotes

Trying So Hard to Be Rob Zombie it Hurts.

I wasn't surprised to find out the director had done a behind the scenes video for Rob Zombie's way below the grade '31'. This movie is so derivative it can't help but make you think of some of Zombie's better movies, like the first Halloween remake. The problem there is every idea in this movie has been already been done much better in the source material.

There is nothing remotely scary here. It's just a by the numbers, coming back from the grave for revenge movie. None of the characters are developed enough to make you care, not even film's main protagonist/antagonist. The direction is so derivative and ham handed it prevents any attempt to suspend disbelief and get into the movie. Tony Todd and P.J Soles are given nothing to do and are obviously just there for name recognition. Sorry, just nothing to recommend here.
