The return of the Firefly family in 3 From Hell had people excited, given that The Devil's Rejects, was released nearly 15 years prior. The follow up began filming in March of 2018 and was released in late summer of 2019, and many trailers teased what was to come.
3 From Hell is the third installment in director Rob Zombie's trilogy, which started with 2003's House of 1000 Corpses. The sequels continue the Firefly family's story and path of destruction they leave in their wake. Even without Captain Spaulding, it wouldn't be unfathomable to think that another film could eventually materialize, but some think the story should be completed with the third entry.
Shudder recently released 3 From Hell on its streaming platform. However, here are all the trailers and promotional clips that led up to Zombie's solid horror flick, 3 From Hell. These served to amplify the excitement from fans, given the long gap between movies.
After The Devil's Rejects, many wondered how the Firefly family survived the final shootout. The teaser doesn't address this, and instead gives a glimpse of them alive and well.
The actual teaser is only about 40 seconds, but it delivers. There's the expected blood, screams, and fire, which is a given, but there's also a couple more things of note. One of the most memorable shots is of Baby in an oversized police uniform tossing a knife from one hand to the other. Otis and Spaulding are also present. Other than a shot of Danny Trejo and a ballerina with a cat's head, the teaser leaves a lot to the imagination.
The first official trailer laid out a lot more, as expected, and kicks off how the trio of killers survived. It shows that all three miraculously lived after being given a "one in a million chance" of survival after the shooting. It's also quick to show that they're all given a guilty verdict, and are sent to prison.
The first trailer also shows that the Devil's Rejects have built a fanbase who call to "free the three," claiming their innocence.
The second trailer for 3 From Hell is almost identical to the first, but small changes and additions are more impactful. Within the first few seconds, newspaper headlines scrawl across the screen, except this time, there's something different. In stark red, a headline reads, "Satanic Recovery." While the film keeps its tone very grounded in reality like The Devil's Rejects, one can't help but think that the survival of the Firefly family could be an act of intervention.
The major additions to this trailer are two violent clips: one of Baby going crazy with a knife and one of Otis presumably doing the same thing, but with a gun.
Finally, promo clips were released that gave each primary character a spotlight. The clips solve some questions viewers may have had and gives a glimpse of how some storylines play out.
Above are three clips mashed into one. These include Baby's return, Otis with a lot of guns, and another that's done in news report style interviews with the trio's fans.
The compilation above has clips on the entire crew: Baby, Otis, Captain Spaulding, and Foxy.
Between these two trailers is another Foxy promo at the ~1:30 mark. The first 3 From Hell trailer in this video is essentially the original with some quotes from reviewers added. The return of the Firefly family was an exciting time for fans of the previous two movies. It's the weakest of the three films, but pushes the story forward. Whether or not the family will pop up again remains to be seen, as Zombie doesn't have another project announced.
