Cover art for The Ballad of Resurrection Joe and Rosa Whore lyrics by Rob Zombie

This song is about a 1958 English period drama/horror film "Corridors Of Blood", about the discovery of anaesthesia with Boris Karloff as Dr. Bolton and Christopher Lee as an unscrupulous cutthroat and grave robber by the name of "Resurrection" Joe. There's a young whore called Rosa in it, who Joe rapes or tries to rape, and an innkeeper's wife called Rachel. "You can't separate the pain from the knife" is a quote from the movie, while "The Doctor Of Seven Dials" was the working title.
