About Captain Spaulding
Captain Spaulding used to go by the name Cutter, until he eventually joined the Firefly gang in 1947. In the Summer of 1965, he met Otis Driftwood, who became his close friend and rival. These two men would often fight for control of the Firefly family. At about this time, Cutter began to be called Captain Spaulding, a name coined by Otis himself.
In the late sixties, Cutter began an illegal moonshine business where he would eventually use the funds to build a facility to share his two loves with the world, murder and fried chicken. It was then in the 70’s that he built his museum based off of Dr. Satan, a man who ran a cult that Baby and Otis were former members of. The legend would be used to lure helpless tourists into the Firefly families path. These events would lead up to the film, House of 1000 Corpses, and the continuation of the Spaulding’s story.
