# House of 1000 Corpses

House of 1000 Corpses is a 2003 American exploitation horror film written, co-scored and directed by Rob Zombie, and starring Chris Hardwick, Rainn Wilson, Sid Haig, Bill Moseley, Sheri Moon Zombie, and Karen Black. The plot focuses on two couples who are held hostage by a sadistic backwoods family on Halloween. Zombie's directorial debut, the film drew from a multitude of influences, particularly American horror films of the 1970s, including The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes.

## Otis

* It's all true. The bogeyman is real and you found him.
* Huntin' humans ain't nothin' but nothin'. They all run like scared little rabbits. Run, rabbit, run. Run, rabbit. Run, rabbit. Run rabbit. Run, rabbit, run! RUN, RABBIT, RUN!
* Better you leave here with your head still full of kitty cats and puppy dogs.
* Listen, you Malibu middle class Barbie piece of shit, I'm tryin' to work here. Work? You ever work? Yeah, I'll bet you have. Scoopin' ice cream to your shit-heel friends on summer break. Well I ain't talkin' about no goddamn white socks with Mickey Mouse on one side and Donald Duck on the other. I ain't readin' no funny books, mama. Our bodies come and go but this blood... is forever. Now, I'm gonna remove your gap... But! If you make so much as a fuckin' peep! I'm going to cut you like a pig and make you eat your own fucking intestines... you got me?
* Bill... He's a good guy, Ohhh hoo... He's been great help to me. A real blessin'... I mean, I couldn't have asked for a better specimen. You don't know what kinda dry spell I've had here. Total Block, Total Block! But Bill... He's OK.

## Captain Spaulding

* [after shooting Killer Karl] Goddamn, motherfucker got blood all over my best clown suit.
* But MOST of all... fuck YOU!

## Baby

* Ain't the only thing tasty in this house.
* We like to get fucked up, and do fucked up shit.
* Give me a "B", give me an "A", give me a "B" give me a "Y", What's that spell? What's that spell? WHAT'S THAT SPELL?
* There once was a woman who lived with her daughter in a cabbage garden; along came a rabbit and ate up all the cabbages; the woman said, "Go into the garden and drive out the rabbit."
* Hey, Poopy-pants. What's new?
* Whatever you need to do, you do it. There is no wrong. If someone needs to be killed, you kill 'em. That's the way.
* These are all my dolls. I used to like to chop their heads off and their arms and stick 'em up on the wall.
* You gotta have the marshmallows, that's what makes it fun.

## Jerry Goldsmith

* That was so badass! Dr. Satan! Ahhh! Dr. Satan!
* Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey!

## Grandpa Hugo

* I hate fucked up families.
* What are you, Jimmy Olsen, cub reporter for the Daily Asshole?
