Umm...hi. I'm new here and I don't want you all to jump down my throat on my first day but I really didn't care for House of 1000 Corpses. Turning the guy into "Fishboy?" Weak.
Doctor Satan? Weak.
And there was so much stuff that was just...over the top. Usually I like stuff that's creepy and gorey and whatever but there was just too much....stuff!
I think it started out great, it just got too self-indulgent by the end.
Oh, but the guy who played the clown in the shop was awesome! That dude really freaked me out. Even down to the way he talked....that was one scarey clown

Learn more about the movie, it's origins, the writer, and what it was styled fter and maybe you will appreciate it more.... or perhaps not now that you've seen it first... whatever...

I've got like two quick questions that somebody might be able to answer:

What is the name of the character that chases after Mary (or Denise) in the end? Is it "Father" or is it "Earl?"

If it is "Earl," then who is he, and why did Rob Zombie not list himself in the credits as portraying him?

Didn't want to start a whole new thread for one that already existed... "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle!"

I believe that character to be father but am not sure, I saw the movie in the theater, I think this is the best way to see any horror film. I like to see the reaction of the audience. I think as some have said that this film is similar to TCM but I also see it modeled after horror films from the 30s like dracula and frankenstein. It is kind of cool take on americana. I live on a farm in the middle of nowhere and I moved there from suburbia. I have to say that nothing is scarier than an old farm house at night or even during the day. Nothing like old rusty farm tools laying around to make for a good killin' or torturin'. I think the most interesting character was Otis, kind of a good ol boy type with a twist. The 'burn this flag' shirt that he was wearing reminds me of people that I know in town. The idea that this could actually be happening somewhere gets in your head a little. I cant wait for the directors cut, I understand that their was a lot taken out of the film just to give it an R rating. Overall I give it 4 out of bloody axes but must admit that I am biased, to Rob Zombie.

Rob Zombie is king! I wish he could be Gubernator in Calif.

Anyways... I started listening to Rob about 4 years ago... and i've probably destroyed my copy of Hellbilly Deluxe I've listened to it so many times... I really want to get all his other albums, the DVD, and some white zombie stuff...

About "Father," this character isn't listed in the credits at all on IMDB, so I was wondering if some people call him Father and some call him Earl.

I think (along with Father and Earl) that he is called the Professor. That's probably what he's listed under in the credits.

I think that avenger00soul is right I think that he was referred to as the professor, I have to buy the DVD everyone has been saying good things about it. Zombie rules, if you like his solo stuff you'll like White Zombie too, it is a little less, Industrial Metal I guess you would call it, but it is very good stuff. Rob also did a couple of remix albums that were good with KMFDM, they may be hard to find though. I read on the home page an interview with the Electric Head and it looks like there is going to be a part 2 cant wait for that.

Watched it for the first time since it came out last night (and the first time I saw it I missed the first 30 minutes because my friends were missing... fuckers...)

There were some things that I missed from before, that I thought I caught, but I'd rather double-check...

(Some Spoilers Below!)

The family is something like this:

Grandpa Hugo

One of these two is Hugo's spawn: Mother Firefly and Father Firefly(Earl, the one who burned Tiny in the fire, seen in the flashback around the dinner scene... played by RZ himself, uncredited)

Otis, Baby, Tiny (STUMPFUCKER!), and Little Boy (the miscarriaged fetus in the jar that Otis brings down to dinner) are all their children

Rufus Jr. (RJ) is apparently a friend of the family.

I think that's right, but oh well...

Also, Dr. Satan said some things that were kind of unintelligible with his air mask on towards the end, but I think I made out the word "Junior" when he called for the man with the Red (Robotic) eyes and the axe that chases Denise down the "Bunnytrail" (Nice Alice in Wonderland symbolism with the little blue dress and the guy wearing the bunny ears stripping her of her costume)

I'm also not sure about who the professor is, really...

Also, I think the Skunk Ape family didn't get enough time in the "show"... But that was funny... Along with that religious guy with the shotgun (wow... I totally just wrote "shotfun":p )

(Did anyone else think that "Goober", "G. Ober," looks alot like the TV geek from that show on Comedy Central a while back called "Beat the Geeks?")

When I watched it again, this time I thought it could have been darker than before... And grainier...

Oh well...

I'm still sure that the Professor/Earl/Father are all the same character. I think Grandpa is the patriarch, but Otis is still the head of the family. I feel like Otis is perhaps Baby's, Tiny's, and RJ's Uncle for some reason the way they all look up to him. Don't quote me on that though. And there were apparently several dead babies in jars according to the DVD.

And I thought G. Ober looked alot like the fatman on Jackass that's always chasing the little guy.
