Baby in House of 1000 Corpses
Baby is a fictional character created by Rob Zombie. She was portrayed by Sheri Moon in House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. Baby was born September 12, 1948 in the rural community of Ruggsville County. She was born as Vera-Ellen Wilson to parents Mama Firefly and Captain Spaulding (Cutter). As a child, Vera-Ellen showed signs of mania and psychosis; at the age of seven she stabbed a school mate in the eye with a home-made knife. Around this time, Otis B. Driftwood, a violent psychopath, roamed into Ruggsville County, and the family took him in. He formed a deep bond with his new adopted family, the Fireflys, and especially taking a liking with Vera-Ellen. Driftwood then nicknamed his new sister "Angel Baby". Beginning sometime in the 1970s, Baby and Driftwood began a spree of murders across the country. They documented their exploits in a series of diaries and scrapbooks. Later, in the winter of 1976, Baby returned to Ruggsville alone and resumed her life on the Firefly farm.
Role in House of 1000 Corpses
The squeaky-voiced, childlike Baby was probably one of the more comedic characters from the first film. A statuesque beauty with boundless, youthful energy, she blended in easily with the outside world, making her the perfect lure for the family's victims. She was also an expert with firearms and knives. By the time of the first film, Baby was wanted for first degree murder, armed robbery, grand theft auto, and prostitution.
Role in The Devil's Rejects
Baby became a much darker character in the sequel, exhibiting a strong sadistic streak. The sequel also delved into more detail about her relationship with her father, Captain Spaulding, which was absent from the first film. The two share a deep bond. When they are captured by Sheriff Wydell, Spaulding tries to take credit for one of Baby's crimes so she won't be tortured.
At the climax of the film, Baby is shot down by the police along with Captain Spaulding and Otis B. Driftwood.
