Killer Karl: I don't like chicken! And I hate clowns.
Trivia: Rob Zombie makes a brief cameo as the monster who uses the sledgehammer to smash the pumpkin at the beginning of the movie.
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?

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.
