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. A popular running gag outside of the film referred to him "[fucking] a [tree] stump". 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.) In the commentary of The Devil's Rejects, director Rob Zombie says that Tiny knew he would never see his family again and did not want to live alone. After waving goodbye to Otis, Baby and Captain Spaulding, Tiny walks back inside the house as it explodes, where he presumably perished.
