The Firefly Clan (House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects)
The number of bodies they may have piled up is unknown, but it’s certain that The Firefly Clan had been in business long before we originally meet them in House of 1000 Corpses. With Otis B. Driftwood, Captain Spaulding and Baby as the main members, the group is fleshed out by the likes of Mama Firefly, Grandpa, Tiny and Rufus. They are as handsome as they are merciful and turn out to be a very amusing group. Sid Haig’s Captain Spaulding provides comic relief for the films, but he shows he can be just as dangerous as Bill Moseley’s deviously deviant Otis. Mama Firefly brings her own matriarchal qualities to the table as well. And Baby? The most beautiful butcher you’ll ever lay your eyes on. And btw, the trailer below was done by Universal Pictures when they were going to distribute the film, long before it ended up at Lionsgate’s door.
Mickey and Mallory Knox (Natural Born Killers)
They embarked on a murderous rampage that thrilled the nation, making them celebrities. Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis play the loving couple who perfectly dramatize society’s love of danger. Serial killers have long been made into celebrities in society, and with the flash and charisma of Mickey and Mallory, it was no surprise they hit superstardom. With a script penned by Quentin Tarantino and with Oliver Stone at the helm, Natural Born Killers was a can’t miss venture. Harrelson and Lewis could not have been better in roles that would go on to become legendary, and colorful characters brought to life by Tommy Lee Jones, Tom Sizemore and Robert Downey, Jr., assisted in providing the perfect atmosphere for Mickey and Mallory to thrive.
