Tiny (Rob Zombie)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tiny is a fictional character created by Rob Zombie. He was portrayed by Matthew McGrory in House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects.

Tiny has a rather small role in the House/Rejects mythos, but an important one. Born with gigantism, Tiny was doused with lighter fluid by his father, Earl, and set aflame. This horribly disfigured him and destroyed most of his hearing. He also appears to be mute.

He didn't have much of a role in House; he was just another grotesque member of the Firefly family. His role was much briefer in Rejects, although much more important. After a brief scene in the beginning, Tiny was missing for most of the film until the climax of the film, in which the vengeful Sheriff Wydell leaves Otis and Spaulding to die in their burning house and then attempts to murder Baby outside. Tiny arrives in the nick of time and snaps his neck.

After everyone is rescued, the remaining members of the Firefly family implore Tiny to come with them, but Tiny refuses. (It has been said Tiny was supposed to say "It's my house and I'm not leaving," but it was never recorded.) After waving goodbye to his family, Tiny walks back inside the house as it explodes, presumably killing him. Tiny was effectively born in fire, and he died in it as well.
