Which 2005 film's tagline is "A Tale Of Murder, Mayhem and Revenge"?

The story behind the answer

The 2005 film whose tagline is “A Tale of Murder, Mayhem and Revenge” is The Devil's Rejects. Written and directed by Rob Zombie, it is a grimy horror-crime road film and the sequel to House of 1000 Corpses.

The story follows members of the murderous Firefly family—Otis B. Driftwood, Baby Firefly, and Captain Spaulding—as they flee across Texas after a law-enforcement raid. Sheriff Wydell pursues them, seeking revenge for the death of his brother. The fugitives join forces with the criminal bounty hunter Rondo and continue a violent journey through motels, rural hideouts, and criminal underworld settings.

The title refers to the Firefly family as outcasts or “rejects,” while the tagline summarizes the film's revenge-driven plot and extreme violence. It is sometimes confused with the film's other promotional lines, including “This summer, go to hell” and “Death walks behind. Hell waits ahead.” Those are alternate taglines, but the quoted wording identifies The Devil's Rejects.
