Otis spent the next two nights drinking heavily and spending time with a hooker named Candy. On the second night, Sheriff John Quincy Wydell along with two bounty hunters named Rondo and Billy Ray Snapper raided the brothel and captured Otis, Baby and Spaulding. Billy Ray Snapper pitched a drunken Otis through the window before he was hauled into Wydell's police van. On the run, Otis and Baby waded through the nearby swamp until they came to a highway. Baby laid upon the road pretending to be unconscious until a motorist stopped to check on her condition. As the woman leaned over Baby, Otis sprung up from behind and stabbed her to death.

Chad Bannon and David Reynolds also appear as amateur robbers Killer Karl and Richard Wick. Earl Firefly, referred to in the credits as "The Professor", is portrayed by Jake McKinnon.

County-owned plot on the edge of Evergreen Cemetery, the city’s oldest. Built in the 1920s, Castillo del Lago (6342 Mulholland Hwy, Los Angeles 90068) was the 1930s home of gangster Bugsy Siegel, who used it as a secret casino (and possible secret execution spot) - the mansion was later owned by Madonna in the 1990s. Now owned by fashion designer Leon Max, Madonna's cream-and-red striped color scheme is gone, but the “deep sense of foreboding” noticed by many visitors remains. Fashion photographers that have shot there report that all their photos turned out black - it’s for you to discover if it has the same effect on Instagram. No longer a functioning diner, or gas station for that matter, the Four Aces is one of several such establishments in the area, now solely used as sets for movies, pop promos, ads and photoshoots. It’s the Four Aces Diner, at East Avenue Q, on the northwest corner of East 145th Street, about five miles east of Palmdale in the California desert.

All three of them realized that there was no way they were going to survive. Otis gunned the engine and drove full speed towards the police barricade whereupon they were shot and wounded in a hail of gunfire. The following day, Halloween, two police officers and Denise Willis' father, Donald Willis, came to the Firefly home looking for the missing youths. While Mother Firefly killed Lt. Wydell in her kitchen, Otis went outback where he found Donald Willis and Deputy Steve Naish. He shot Willis in the back, then killed Naish by shooting him in the head at point blank range. He then skinned Willis and made himself a Halloween cotume from his flesh.

Of course, I’ll always have a special place in my heart for House of 1000 Corpses. Its surreal weirdness and fantastical atmosphere is something highly unique and truly fascinating. Dr. Satan, an army of underground mutants, bizarre family members holding massive Halloween rituals. It’s a shame in some ways that the franchise got so far removed from what it started out as, but at least there’s a little something for everyone to enjoy.

Halloween Horror Nights have brought the Firefly home to the real world

The Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery lacks the glitz and glamour of Disneyland cemeteries like Hollywood Forever. It flanks West Adams and Pico-Union, filling the area between Washington and Venice Boulevards along Normandie Avenue. The grass is fairly brown here, and despite the towering palms, it gives the impression of complete lifelessness.

Sold to a real estate investor in December 2020 for $2.35 million, what’s in store for the ghostly abode—or any brave future inhabitants—remains to be seen. One location you could be forgiven for not recognising is the laboratory of Dr Satan and the dungeon in which the Fireflies stock up with cheerleaders. It’s the basement of the old Ambassador Hotel, which stood at 3400 Wilshire Boulevard, midtown Los Angeles (seen in films as diverse as The Graduate, Oliver Stone’s The Doors, True Romance, S.W.A.T., Rocky and Se7en.). The series creator also reveals a surprise correlation between President James Collins’ character arc and a ’90s horror favorite. If you thought Chucky’s ruthless eye-gouging of the President was bloody, this week’s Episode 7 traps Randall Jenkins in an elevator that feels straight out of an iconic horror classic. “Captain Spaulding (Tailcoat) 20th Anniversary Figure” and “Otis (Red Robe) 20th Anniversary Figure” are shipping in March 2024, both in the 7″ scale.

Beginning in the summer of 1975, Otis began committing what would become known as the "Son of Satan Murder". By winter of 1976, Otis continued on his murder spree, but Baby decided to return to Ruggsville to be with her family. Mountain View Mortuary, Crematory, and Cemetery is located at 2400 N Fair Oaks Ave. in Altadena.

For a deeper look into the spot's history, check out thishalf-hour documentary on Mountain View. As anyone familiar with his music videos can attest to, it's not a surprise that Zombie has etched his name in the annals of horror movie history. What is surprising is that House of 1000 Corpses took such a long and winding road to the theaters, that he initially thought he wouldn't be making sequels, and above all, that it was his first film. The movie simply feels too self-assured, too confident, and frankly, too good to be a first outing.

Experimenting with various props and strange devices, Otis transformed Bill into a carnival-style curiosity which he dubbed "Fish Boy". One other distinction about the cemetery is that, while it used to be common practice for cemeteries to ban black individuals, Evergreen was the only one to allow African-American burials. As such, a number of black actors from the 1920s and ’30s are buried in the North Hill section of the cemetery. The Evergreen Cemetery, built in 1877, is Los Angeles' oldest cemetery. Its age, coupled with its lack of upkeep, makes for a straight up haunting cemetery. It's now the perfect place to snap a picture for the album cover for your Morrissey cover band.

But by the time we see Otis in The Devil’s Rejects, he’s given a normal skin color, eye color, and hair color, all as Bill Moseley’s natural complexion would have it. House of 1000 Corpses contains more intriguing characters than it's actually able to explore. Take Dr. Satan (Walter Phelan), hands down one of the most interesting beings in the Firefly trilogy. The cyborg scientist appears briefly in the movie, but will haunt viewers' nightmares forever, even if he doesn't necessarily fit in with the style of subsequent flicks.

Despite receiving an unfavorable response from critics, it went on to gross $16 million worldwide. Since its release, the film has achieved a cult following, was developed into a haunted-house attraction by Zombie for Universal Studios, and was followed by two sequels, The Devil's Rejects (2005) and 3 from Hell (2019). The Mountain View Mortuary, Crematory, and Cemetery is a family-owned cemetery in Altadena that was founded in 1882. It sits a bit east of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and down the street from Devil's Gate, so the spirits of L.A.'s occultism run rampant in the area (and imbue the cemetery with an equally eerie vibe). The massive cemetery features some unparalleled views of the San Gabriel Mountains and beautiful, expansive grounds.

An animated musical "sidequel" released in 2009, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, is also part of the tale. Making this happen would be difficult, however, which made him reluctant. House of 1000 Corpses is graphic and disturbing — just look at the title. The movie's violence and sadism led to it not being able to shake an NC-17 rating, caused Universal to shelve it.

The Fireflys brought their victims out to a nearby cemetery where they intended on using them as a sacrifice in a bizarre occult ritual. Otis applied black and white grease paint to his face in the pattern of a skull. Mary managed to escape from them, and Otis shouted after her "Run, rabbit, run!" before sending Baby Firefly off to hunt her down.
