House of 1000 Corpses

Question: What I don't understand about this movie is, how did Dr. Satan get in this family's basement and are we supposed to believe that he did his brain surgery on the whole family which is why they are all so insane?

Jeanne Perrotta

Chosen answer: Dr. Satan wasn't in their basement. As you watch the movie, they walked quite a ways to this well structure where they put two of the captives in this box and lowered them down. It was quite a way from their house. When the girl comes up from the dirt, there house is nowhere in sight.

Jonathan Thompson

Continuity mistake: The car belonging to the kids gets its windshield completely bashed in with seven blows (to the point where it partly collapses into the car) by Otis. When the car is later found and examined by the police, the windshield, save from a slight bit of damage in the center, is almost completely intact. (00:40:00 - 00:53:00)
