According to Rob Zombie, that entire climax was a hallucination. My guess is that it was happening in a way, but was all exaggerated in her mind. I think the zombies were just crazy people who had been trapped down there forever and Dr. Satan and the father were there but didn't look quite the way they did in Denise's mind.

Zombie was probably hallucinating when he made House of 1000 Corpses.

Actually I did wonder about the ending (which was ludicrously daft and completely over the top).

Also it reeks of The People Under The Stairs.

It's all a deep end.

It should come as news to nobody that Rob Zombie likes to trip on LSD. I've watched this movie while tripping on LSD and it's pretty obvious he made this film for fellow heads to watch and enjoy. I'm not sure how much you actually know and understand about drugs let alone one as powerful as LSD. But, your comment about him tripping was most likely meant as some sort of insult. Like, this movie is so dumb he must have been too high to not make it crappy. In reality you're missing the bigger picture completely.

I thought of Alice in Wonderland (-dressed as bunnies/going down the 'rabbit hole'/having the costume removed, to reveal the 'Alice'-type dress, etc).
I've seen this film loads of times and re-watched it today, when I suddenly thought: 'wow- a horror Alice in Wonderland!' (I had had a couple of lagers, though). The last 20 minutes do go completely ott bonkers but that's why I love this film, because its SO unpredictable and camp.
Rob Zombie should deffo make an evil 'Alice Through the Shattered Glass' (with 7 years bad luck)-type film...
