    Otis Driftwood from House of 1000 Corpses. He has no supernatural powers.

    I have lived around crazy rednecks all my life (Indiana and Florida). Pretty sure I could outwit 1 crazy redneck, and with 3 Billion I could afford to finally escape this hellhole.

      Am I misremembering the end of that movie, or does it end up getting kind of supernatural? Don’t remember if Otis himself did anything though…

        It definitely gets weird towards the end and I think it’s meant to be sorta ambiguous/ open to interpretation.

        From what I can recall (it’s been a while) and from watching the sequels, I think Otis and Co were just psycho rednecks, but I could be wrong about that.

          It’s been years for me as well… For some reason though, I can distinctly picture the end House of 1000 Corpses, when they’re in like Satan’s lair under the house and it’s definitely supernatural lol… But yeah, they don’t really explicitly explain what’s happening. If I recall, they were like harvesting corpses for satan or some form of extreme evil that lived under the house?

            I stand corrected. I’ll have to give it a rewatch at some point. I remember thinking it was a decent flick

              Yeah but like you said it’s not really explained and if I remember, it’s a pretty quick turn at the end when the kid(s) who were still alive were trying to escape. They like stumbled into this bizarre lair with some weird shit going down.

              The majority of it isn’t supernatural I don’t think. I’ve only ever seen Devil’s Rejects in terms of the “sequels”, and it was fine but I don’t think there was anything supernatural (unless someone seems to die, but comes back? Been a really long time).

              But yeah, I loved that movie back in high school. I remember it being solid. I kind of don’t want to watch it again in case it doesn’t hold up.

              I just remembered: Isn’t Dwight Schrute one of the main characters?
