Baby (Rob Zombie)

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.

Background

To promote The Release of Rejects, Rob Zombie created backstories for the three protagonists of the film on the official website, using early photographs of the actors and fake newspaper clippings for realism.

According to her biography, Baby was born September 12, 1948 in the rural community of Ruggsville County. She was born Vera-Ellen Wilson to Mother Firefly and Captain Spaulding.

As a child, Vera-Ellen shows signs of mania and psychosis; at the age of seven she stabs a classmate in the eye with a home-made knife. Around this time, Otis B. Driftwood, a violent psychopath, roams into Ruggsville County, and the family takes him in. He forms a deep bond with The Fireflys, and is especially close to Vera-Ellen, whom he nicknames "Angel Baby".

Beginning sometime in the 1970s, Baby and Otis begin a crosscountry [...] spree. They extensively document their exploits in a series of diaries and scrapbooks. Later, in the winter of 1976, Baby returns to Ruggsville alone and resumes her life on the Firefly farm.

The Films

Baby was portrayed as a more comedic character from the first film. A statuesque beauty with boundless, youthful energy, she blends in easily with the outside world, making her the perfect lure for the family's victims. She is also an expert with firearms and knives. By the time of the first film, Baby is wanted for first degree [...], armed robbery, grand theft auto, and prostitution.

Baby became a darker character in the sequel, exhibiting a strong sadistic streak and losing most of her childlike demeanor in the process. The sequel also delved into greater detail about her relationship with her father, Captain Spaulding, which was absent from the first film. The two share a deep bond, and Spaulding is very protective of her; 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 Spaulding and Driftwood.
