In House of 1000 Corpses, Captain Spaulding was introduced as a vulgar clown and the proprietor of a gas station that doubled as a museum / haunted house ride with a focus on serial killers, madmen and freaks of nature. His main purpose in the first film was to redirect a group of young adults looking for the local legend of `` Dr. Satan '' to the tree where he was supposedly hanged, where they instead end up running into the murderous Firefly family. Rob Zombie described Spaulding on the commentary for House of 1000 Corpses as a `` lovable asshole '' and wanted to make the character 's motivations and connection to the Firefly family ambiguous. Because Spaulding never interacts or talks to any members of the murderous Firefly family, it is never fully explained in the movie at just how much Spaulding knows about the family ; if he is in league with them, or if he is just a murderous vigilante unconnected to the Firefly clan ( in the film 's opening scene, he shoots and kills two burglars attempting to rob his store ). Although, in one of the final scenes in the film, Spaulding is shown driving a car in which Otis Driftwood is hiding in the backseat ready to claim another victim. He is described in the script for Corpses as a `` crusty looking old man in a filthy clown suit and smeared make - up ''. He has the words `` LOVE '' and `` HATE '' tattooed on his knuckles, a reference to the character Reverend Harry Powell from Night of the Hunter. Just as several characters from the series are named after characters from the Marx Brothers films, Spaulding is named for Groucho Marx 's character from Animal Crackers. The second film gave Spaulding a much more significant role, establishing him as the patriarch of the Firefly family. For The Devil 's Rejects, Captain Spaulding 's character was changed slightly ; the director wanted him to be less cartoonish in the more realistic and gritty sequel. As such, Spaulding only has his clown makeup during the first half of the film. He is known by his nickname ' Cutter ' as mentioned by Otis Driftwood at more than one occasion during the second film. In describing Spaulding for his review for The Devil 's Rejects, film critic Roger Ebert wrote `` He is a man whose teeth are so bad, they 're more frightening than his clown make - up. He plays such a thoroughly disgusting person, indeed, that I was driven to discover that in real life Sid looks, well, presentable... This was a relief to me, because anyone who really looked like Captain Spaulding would send shoppers screaming from the Wal - Mart. '' Otis Driftwood Bill Moseley Portrayed by Bill Moseley Otis is the most depraved and violent member of the Firefly family. He is a sadist who makes the freaks for Captain Spaulding 's museum from the victims that he kills. On two occasions in both films, he wore his victims skin as a costume and often fights with Spaulding for control of the family. Although Otis is albino and clean shaven in the first film, Rob did n't think it would fit the style and realism of the sequel, which also saw Otis coming across as less manic and more calculating than he did earlier. In the second film Otis sports a beard, giving him more of a rugged and feral appearance. One feature in both films is Otis ' taste for sexual violence : the implication that he is a rapist and necrophiliac with female victims of the first movie is confirmed in the sequel, where he also sexually assaults one of his hostages with a gun ( a scene Moseley talks about on the DVD and is visibly horrified by ). Although the family member whose actions are the most monstrous, Otis is, ironically, not a biological member of the Firefly family at all. Gloria `` Mama '' Firefly adopted him, but not legally. In the song `` Pussy Liquor '', the lyrics suggest that Otis ' biological father 's name is Tim. He is named after the Groucho Marx character in the film A Night at the Opera. He and Baby have a combative relationship and spend much of the sequel screaming at each other during the family 's road trip of murder and fleeing from Sheriff Wydell. After narrowly escaping death at the hands of Sheriff Wydell, Otis was killed along with `` Baby '' and Capt. Spaulding in a shootout on a deserted highway. A roadblock was set for their capture, and they were shot to death by Sheriff 's deputies. Rather than surrender, the surviving Firefly clan drove speeding towards the roadblock with their guns blazing in one final act of defiance, and Otis is the first to be shot dead. Baby Firefly Portrayed by Sheri Moon Zombie Besides Mama Firefly, her mother, Baby is the only female member of the Firefly family. In The Devil 's Rejects her father is revealed to be Captain Spaulding. In the first film, Mary Knowles describes Baby as being a `` slut '' and a `` redneck whore '', which later results in her gruesome demise. In House of 1000 Corpses she hitchhikes and lures the teenagers into visiting the farm ( a nod to the classic hitchhiker scene in the 1974 film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre ). She shows a liking to Bill that his girlfriend Mary did n't take kindly to which prompted the four to try and leave. After they were captured, she took part in the demise of Bill that involved severing his limbs. Baby approached Jerry wearing one of the dead cheerleader 's uniforms and scalped him when he failed to answer who her favorite actor was. Otis, who is the adoptive brother of Baby, was going to shoot Mary when she tried to escape at the ritual ground, but Baby insisted to go after her that resulted in Mary being stabbed to death. She escapes the police in The Devil 's Rejects and goes on the rampage with her father and Otis. In the end they are shot dead by the police when trying to drive through a roadblock. In the Rob Zombie song `` Pussy Liquor '' it is stated that Earl ( presumably Earl Firefly / `` The Professor '' ) is the biological father of both Baby and Tiny. Baby 's actual given name ( seen on a wanted poster in The Devil 's Rejects ) is Vera Ellen, though her mother has also referred to her daughter as `` my Angel ''. Tiny Firefly Portrayed by Matthew McGrory The younger half - brother of Baby. Suffers from gigantism and is scarred all over because the Professor doused him in lighter fluid and set him alight when he was a child. When the four teenagers tried to leave his family house, he and Otis, who is his adoptive brother, went to attack them. Tiny pulled Denise out of their car and dragged her back in the house while Otis dealt with the rest. Tiny took Denise to his room, where the family dressed her as a doll for Halloween and offered her to him, but did not take advantage of it as he had a soft spot for women. He would however, show no signs of remorse when they were to be killed at a ritual ground that he attended. In the second film, after saving Baby from being murdered, and Otis and Spaulding from the burning Firefly manor, he does not go with the rest of the clan and enters the burning house, where he presumably burns himself to death. Gloria `` Mama '' Firefly Portrayed by Academy Award - nominee Karen Black in the first film and Leslie Easterbrook in the second. Mama Firefly ( whose real name was Gloria Firefly ) was a prostitute, and the mother of Rufus, Tiny, and Baby. Baby 's father is Captain Spaulding, and the father of Rufus is a man named Rufus ( which is why his family calls him R.J for Rufus Junior ) and the father of Tiny was Earl Firefly. It is revealed in the sequel, that Mother Firefly has a long criminal record, including several cases of prostitution and theft. She is killed by Wydell in the second film, after she taunts Wydell about his brothers murder. Rufus R.J. Firefly Portrayed by Robert Allen Mukes In House Of 1000 Corpses and by Tyler Mane in The Devil 's Rejects A member of the Firefly family, namely Tiny 's older brother. Rufus was abnormally tall, and often shot down nearby cars so their drivers would have to stop by the Firefly house for help. His Father was a man named Rufus, hence Rufus Jr or R.J. He was a fairly minor character in House Of 1000 Corpses. In The Devil 's Rejects, Rufus defended the house from police covered in homemade steel body armor. In the end of the assault, Rufus fought alone while the others retreated and was shot to death by Wydell and his men. He is named after the Groucho Marx character in the film Duck Soup. House of 1000 Corpses Hugo Firefly Portrayed by Dennis Fimple. Grandpa Hugo is arguably one of the more harmless members of the Firefly family. It assumed he is the father of Gloria `` Mama '' Firefly and the grandfather of Rufus, Tiny, and Baby. He never murders anyone and does not engage in any acts of sadism or cruelty. Rather, he just seems to be a harmless ( albeit dirty ) old man. Grandpa Hugo has a penchant for crude, sexual humor and loves telling dirty jokes. He is usually seen watching TV and yelling at the screen. He is named after the Groucho Marx character in the film A Day at the Races. Fimple died not long after House Of 1000 Corpses was completed. Zombie omitted his role from the sequel, The Devil 's Rejects, out of respect. In an early cut of the film, Grandpa Hugo was revealed to be none other than Dr. Satan himself. Supposedly, the whole legend of Dr. Satan was to be a ruse concocted by the Firefly family to attract more victims, and Grandpa Hugo played the role of the sinister physician. Zombie later scrapped this idea, saying it would be too anticlimactic, and rather had the real Dr. Satan show up in the film 's climax instead. Lieutenant George Wydell Portrayed by Tom Towles. Investigating the disappearance of four missing teenagers, he interrogated Captain Spaulding, the owner of the gas station and freak show museum where the kids were seen last. Spaulding directed him to the site of the infamous Doctor Satan murders. Spaulding, who was later established as a member of the Firefly family, would later admit that he deliberately sent them to their doom. With fellow police officer Deputy Steve Nash and Don Willis, one the teens ' fathers and a former officer himself, he sought out the Firefly House. Nash and Willis went out back to investigate, but Wydell himself went to talk to a hesitant Mother Firefly for questioning. He showed several pictures of the missing teenagers, but Mother Firefly claimed to know nothing about them. He was about to leave, when Nash called him on his walkie talkie. He and Willis had discovered a small shack outside the house where some of the teens were being locked up, right before Otis B. Driftwood killed them both. Before Wydell could do anything, Mother Firefly pulled out a gun and shot him in the neck, killing him. In Rejects, his brother Sheriff John Wydell discovers that George was killed by the Firefly family and is hellbent on revenge. Tom Towles reprises his role as George Wydell in a cameo appearance in one of his brother 's dreams. In it, Sheriff Wydell goes to the basement of the Firefly House where George is waiting for him. He tells him he has to stay there and can not rest until his brother kills the Firefly family. Dr. Satan / S. Quentin Quale Portrayed by Walter Phelan Local legend of Ruggsville Texas, Captain Spaulding tells the legend of Dr. Satan - S. Quentin Quale, an intern at the `` Willows County Mental Hospital ''. Through primitive brain surgery he believed he could create a race of `` super-humans '' from the mentally ill. When the locals discovered what he had been doing, they formed a mob and hanged him, the next day his body was missing, never to be found. From then on he had been living in the catacombs under the Firefly farm, continuing operations on people the family would lure to their home. He is named after the Groucho Marx character in the film Go West. In Otis B. Driftwood 's biography on The Devil 's Rejects official site, a different tale is told. Here we find that Baby and he were drawn into a cult led by Dr. Satan. Otis and Baby, were expelled by the leader of this cult, after they murdered one of the cult 's leaders with an axe following a dispute over a bottle of whiskey. In an early cut of the film, Grandpa Hugo was revealed to be none other than Dr. Satan himself. Supposedly, the whole legend of Dr. Satan was to be a ruse concocted by the Firefly family to attract more victims, and Grandpa Hugo played the role of the sinister physician. Zombie later scrapped this idea, saying it would be too anticlimactic, and rather had the real Dr. Satan show up in the film 's climax instead. Dr. Satan did not appear in the sequel. Rob Zombie said he felt uncomfortable having him in the film, saying that the character would seem too out of place given the drastically different tone of the two movies. However Dr. Satan did appear in deleted scenes. According to Rob Zombie 's commentary on the DVD, he was wounded in the opening shootout and was taken away to a hospital. ( Doctor Satan is apparently in the ambulance during the opening scenes. ) A nurse ( played by Rosario Dawson ) checks the doctor, now in a coma, when suddenly he awakes, grabs her throat and brutally tears it open before collapsing back onto the bed and possibly dying. The actor who portrayed Dr. Satan ( Walter Phalen ) also makes an appearance as Tiny in a flashback sequence to when The Professor sets him on fire. The Professor Portrayed by Jake McKinnon. The Professor is a large hulking mutant that worked with Dr. Satan. `` The Professor '' is a Harpo Marx character, fitting in with the rest of the Firefly family. He is never seen in The Devil 's Rejects ; however, he is show in House of a 1000 Corpses in flashbacks and near the end when he chases Denise through the catacombs with an axe. It is never clarified why he, or any of Dr. Satan 's other mutants for that matter, are not shown in The Devils Rejects. The Devil 's Rejects Sheriff John quincey Wydell Portrayed by William Forsythe. Sheriff Wydell led a siege on the Firefly house, hoping to arrest the serial killer family that lived inside. After a brutal shootout, he managed to kill Rufus and capture Mother Firefly, but two of the most dangerous members of the family, Otis B. Driftwood and Baby managed to escape, who later reunited with Baby 's father, Captain Spaulding. He interrogated Mother Firefly for whereabouts of her kin, but the family matriarch refused. Instead, she revealed to him that she had killed his brother, Lieutenant George Wydell, taunting him by saying `` I felt contrite about blowin ' his brains out ''. Furious, Wydell promised to her that he would kill every member of her family. After hiring two amoral bounty hunters called the ' Unholy Two ' to track down the Devil 's Rejects, he became witness to the aftermath of the brutal murders of Banjo and Sullivan, a traveling country band. After a dream about his dead brother telling him to kill the Firefly family, Wydell revisited Mother Firefly again, only this time to stab her to death. Upon finding out that the escaped killers had taken shelter at a whorehouse, he tracked down the owner, Captain Spaulding 's pimp brother Charlie Altamont and told him to keep the family there so he could ambush them. With the help of the Unholy Two, he managed to capture the Rejects and bring them to their house. Becoming increasingly disturbed by his vengeance, the Sheriff brought them to their basement and tied them to a bunch of chairs. There, he proceeded to sadistically torture them like they had done to their victims throughout the night. He nailed Otis 's hands to his chair, he electrocuted and beat Spaulding with a cattle prod, and he taunted Baby over the death of her mother after stapling a picture of one of her victims to her chest. After dousing the room with gasoline and leaving Spaulding and Otis to burn, Wydell let Baby escape so he could track her down and kill her. Charlie returned to save his family but Wydell killed him with an axe. Wydell proceeded to shoot Baby, flog her, and then tried to strangle her to death. It was only the return of Tiny that finally stopped Wydell. The mute giant picked up the Sheriff and snapped his neck, ultimately killing him. Charlie Altamont Portrayed by Ken Foree. Charlie Altamont ( alias ' Wolf J. Flywheel ' ) is Captain Spaulding 's African American half - brother. He is also a pimp. Charlie had run a brothel and strip club and was a pimp by profession, and he also was revealed by Zombie as a `` coke - head. '' To emphasize his style as a pimp, he was given a large amount of valuable and suggestive paraphernalia ; it was not on camera, but in a scene where he was sharing his cocaine with Cutter, he had a necklace that was a cocaine spoon in the shape of a naked woman. When the Firefly family are on the run from the police, they come to Charlie for refuge. But when Sheriff Wydell tracks him down, Charlie is pressured to give his family up. Charlie Altamont returns later in one last moment of redemption to save his family, but Wydell kills him with an axe. The Unholy two Portrayed by Danny Trejo and Dallas Page. Two amoral bounty hunters hired to track down the Rejects. Rondo is Mexican and the more business savvy of the two, describing Wydell 's situation with the rejects as the U2 working as exterminators to wipe out the cockroach - like Devil 's Rejects. Billy Ray Snapper is the more quick to action type guy whose main pleasure is a good fight, and he and Wydell do n't like each other. Though some may be fooled by their biker persona 's and unfashionable lifestyle, the Unholy Two are tactical and relentless when on a hunt and will gladly kill anyone between them and their targets, along with the targets themselves.
