House of 1000 Corpses Drinking Game + Cocktail

The roadside attraction was real, the tour guide was Dr. Satan, and no one read the signs.

The Rules

  • Sip — Every time Captain Spaulding says something deliberately offensive and enjoys the reaction
  • Sip — Every time the Firefly family watches the captives on a monitor from elsewhere in the house
  • Sip — Every time Baby Firefly flirts in a way that is simultaneously charming and deeply threatening
  • Sip — Every time the film cuts to grainy horror footage or distorted video interstitials
  • Sip — Every time Otis Driftwood delivers a monologue about evil as a philosophy
  • Drink Twice — Every time a new room in the Firefly house reveals something worse than the last room
  • Drink Twice — Every time Dr. Satan is referenced before he actually appears on screen
  • Drink Twice — Every time a captive attempts escape and is caught before reaching safety
  • Shot — Every time Otis performs a grotesque art project using a victim's body
  • Shot — Every time the film's editing deliberately disorients the viewer with jump cuts and static
  • Chug — Every time Dr. Satan finally appears underground and the film goes completely off the rails
