6 More Horror Movies No-One Survives

5. House Of 1000 Corpses

House Of 1000 Corpses
Lionsgate

Rob Zombie's directorial debut, House of 1000 Corpses infamously introduced the world to the Firefly Family. A clan of twisted, murderous sorts, the Firefly crew would of course go onto cause chaos and carnage for a further two movies - with even their purported demise at the end of The Devil's Rejects not slowing them down enough to stop them rearing their heads once more in 2019's 3 from Hell.

As House of 1000 Corpses opens up, the attention is on four friends travelling cross-country in order to pen a book on the most unique roadside attractions and events. Upon hearing from Captain Spaulding about the twisted legend of Dr. Satan, our buddies venture off to learn more about this sinister figure. Unfortunately for them, damage to their car means an initially-warm stay at the nearby home of the Fireflies...

By the end of Zombie's 2003 offering, the four friends become merely just another few notches on the Firefly Family's bloody bedpost. For Rainn Wilson's Bill, he's killed and sculpted into a "Fishboy"; Jennifer Jostyn's Mary is erratically, fatally stabbed by Baby; Chris Hardwick's Jerry is tortured to death by the aforementioned Dr. Satan; and Erin Daniels' poor, poor Denise is maniacally hunted down by the Fireflies, before she's last seen being operated on - and presumably killed - by Doc Satan.
