“We just assumed she would get out of the way,” Zombie remarks on the film’s DVD commentary. Mixed in with this motley collection of Zombie’s favorite actors were his friends. He gave the role of squeaky psycho Baby Firefly to his then-girlfriend (now wife), Sheri Moon. Chris Hardwick, a buddy he’d met at the MTV Music Awards, was asked to play Jerry, one of the four kids, with Zombie telling him he’d written the part of a “loud, obnoxious asshole” specifically for him. Moseley himself was one of them, having already collected a number of horror credits, including The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, the Night of the Living Dead remake, and Army of Darkness.

They were eventually told to leave, and shunned by the cult following an incident wherein Otis stabbed a fellow cult member to death. Town of Sierra Madre seems like it hasn’t seen much excitement since the Wild West days. But its Pioneer Cemetery (601 E Sierra Madre Blvd, Sierra Madre 91024), established the same year, tells a different tale. The 2.5-acre site is the final resting place of souls ranging from Civil War vets to tiny children tragically lost in the rough conditions of pioneer settlement.
Personal life
Don, a former policeman, is called to the scene to help the deputies search. They arrive at the Firefly house and Wydell questions Mother Firefly about the missing teens. Mother Firefly shoots Wydell in the head and kills him; Don and Steve are then killed by Otis when they find more bodies of missing cheerleaders in the barn, along with a barely conscious Mary.

Otis and Baby grew very close and found that they shared a common passion for committing murder. The two roamed the Southwestern United States, randomly killing people without mercy or remorse. Beginning in the summer of 1975, Otis began committing what would become known as the "Son of Satan Murder".
Life
Amongst the dead in Evergreen Cemetery is Hugo Zacchini, the first man to ever be shot out of a cannonball. Evergreen is also one of the largest cemeteries with over 300,000 interments, including a nine-acre Potter’s Field of unidentified people and a crematorium. The cemetery has had its share of troubles, particularly when 23 bags of scattered human bones were found in dirt piles around the cemetery.

An alcoholic recluse since the 1992 death of his son from leukemia, Spector moved into the 10,590 square-foot Pyrenees Castle (1700 Grand View Dr, Alhambra 91803) in 1998. Inspired by a French chateau in the Pyrenees mountains, the fairytale estate was described in 1939 by the Los Angeles Times as the "Alhambra mystery castle." Opened as the American Storage Building, today it's a Public Storage location (3636 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles 90004) filled from top to bottom with orange steel doors, including the storied 13th floor.
On October 30, 1977, amateur criminals Killer Karl and Richard Wick attempt an armed robbery at a gas station/horror museum, but are killed by the owner, Captain Spaulding, and his assistant, Ravelli. Later that night, Jerry Goldsmith, Bill Hudley, Mary Knowles, and Denise Willis are on the road in hopes of writing a book on offbeat roadside attractions. When the four meet Spaulding, who is also the owner of "The Museum of Monsters & Madmen", they learn of the local legend of Dr. Satan. As they take off in search of the tree from which Dr. Satan was hanged, they pick up a young free-spirited hitchhiker named Baby, who claims to live only a few miles away. Shortly after, a mysterious figure appears hidden in some overgrowth and shoots out their vehicle's tire with a shotgun. The group thinks it is just a blown out tire and so Baby takes Bill to her family's house to get a tow truck.
Holy Cross Cemetery
The East Hollywood building may be most haunted by its own former glory. The so-called Los Feliz Murder House (2475 Glendower Pl, Los Angeles 90027) stood abandoned for decades, with its Christmas tree and still-wrapped presents remaining inside. 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.
Otis is not a biological member of the Firefly family; Gloria "Mama" Firefly adopted him, but not legally. Later that night, the three remaining teenagers are dressed as rabbits and taken out to an abandoned well. Otis torments Denise using the skin of her dead father's face as a mask.
The parents are showing it to their kids, and the kids are telling their friends,’” he said. That’s exactly why it appealed to McClelland, who went out and bought the DVD—“the very first one, where it was just a cardboard flip cover without a clasp”—as soon as he could. He quickly began marshaling people over to his apartment to hold screenings. When Zombie released a sequel, 2005’s The Devil’s Rejects, McClelland led a group of more than a dozen friends to the theater. Some of these actors were a major part of the movie, present for the majority of its runtime.
He insinuated himself into their family and was the one who suggested that everyone should adapt aliases derived from old Groucho Marx films. Eve Wilson became known as Mother Firefly and her son Rufus took the alias Rufus Firefly, Jr.. He gave Johnny Lee Johns the nickname Captain Spaulding after the character of Jeffrey T. Spaulding from the 1930 film Animal Crackers. Otis also befriended Spaulding's daughter Vera-Ellen whom he referred to as "Baby".
Weak and bleeding, they took Charlie Atlamont's convertible and drove off into the night. In the 1st film, for example, he is an albino, but he is of average Caucasian color in the sequel. Rob Zombie did this because he felt the albino look was too 'cartoonish' and was out of place in the grittier sequel.
He waited to hear Roy praying to God, then mocked his faith by pretending that he had suddenly been struck by the Holy Spirit. Leaning over the bleeding man, he pulled the hair out of his face and said, "I am the devil. And I am here to do the devil's work" before dealing Roy the fatal blow. He turned back towards Adam who was lying in the dirt clutching his bleeding throat wound. He confessed that he was going to go easy on him before he decided to be a hero. Instead though, Otis skinned him alive and made a mask out of the skin from Adam's face.
In a 2014 interview, Zombie said, "The first film [I directed], which people seem to love, is just a calamitous mess. Well, when it came out it seemed like everyone hated it. Now everyone acts like it's beloved in some way. All I see is flaw, upon flaw, upon flaw." Robert Bartleh Cummings, more commonly known as Rob Zombie, came to public prominence in the early '90s as the frontman of the heavy metal band White Zombie. He went on to become a successful solo act, releasing albums under the name of, of course, Rob Zombie. Now that Zombie has had his hands on countless titles, making him a mainstay in the horror movie genre, fans might be surprised to learn that House of 1000 Corpses was his directorial debut. Since this debut, Zombie has gone on to make two Halloween movies, The Lords of Salem, 31, The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, The Devil's Rejects, 3 from Hell, and other projects. When Denise doesn't come home, her father Don calls the police to report her missing.
It is the resting place of the most famous names in Hollywood, including Dean Martin, Bettie Page, and Farah Fawcett. Walking around the cemetery, you also come across Hollywood’s tragedy-stricken starlets, Marilyn Monroe and Natalie Wood, who were immortalized post-mortem due to their deaths, lives, and careers. Westwood Village Memorial is definitely the place to find the dark side of Hollywood and fame. 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 Museum of Death, a showcase of just that, was originally founded in San Diego in 1995.
Located in Altadena, the palatial Cobb Estate (known locally as the Haunted Forest) was built in 1918 and torn down by the Marx Brothers in 1959, just a few years after they bought the 107-acre property (5400 N Lake Ave. at E Loma Alta Dr, Altadena 91001). The dilapidated entrance gates remain, looking like a horror movie trope come to life. Fans will recognize the gates as the entrance to Morningside Cemetery from the 1979 supernatural thriller, Phantasm.
