The Haunted World of El Superbeasto is an animated comedy that also combines elements of a horror and thriller film. It is based upon the comic book series created by Rob Zombie that follows the character of El Superbeasto and his sexy sidekick and sister, Suzi-X, voiced by Sheri Moon. "It's a beautiful-looking movie," Zombie told the Kevin & Bean radio show in Los Angeles, "All these animators from studios like Disney came to work on it, and [they're thrilled because] they get to work on something filthy. It's probably rated XXX now, but we'll have to cut it back to an R."[1]

[edit] Production
Work began on The Haunted World of El Superbeasto in 2006 and a release date was later scheduled for May 2007, but the film has yet to be completed. In an interview conducted on July 20, 2007 by shocktillyoudrop.com, Zombie explained that, "Nothing really much [is happening]." During that time, the film was still being animated, however, Zombie then began work on Halloween. He informed the animators that he had "to walk away because I can't split my time between two things". Zombie noted that work on The Haunted World of El Superbeasto "started when I was on Rejects and it's now just sitting on a shelf waiting for me to finish Halloween".[3] As of August, 2007 a first cut of the film was viewed by Zombie in which he said it was "awesome". He also referred to it as "crazy shit".[4] In a November 2007 interview with bloody-disgusting.com, Zombie announced that the film was "almost finished". He went on to say that, although he's currently on tour until February, "we will finally finish the music on Superbeasto and it'll be done" afterwards. However, a release date is yet to be set.[5]
One artist who did some work on the film said in February 2008 that "the final product is falling a bit short of what it was supposed to be", adding "I guess that's what happens when the studio shuts things down way too early and sends everything overseas before it's ready in order to concentrate on sure-fire winners like Everybody's Hero [sic]..."[6]
