TRIBUTE TO SID HAIG

“I think I’m gonna get me some tutti fucking fruity!”: A Retrospective of Sid Haig

Review By Michael Dedman Jones

There are few in the industry that become an icon simply as themselves AND as a character that they have portrayed and Sid Haig (Sidney Eddie Mosesian) is one of those people. While most recognize him as Captain Spaulding in Rob Zombie’s Firefly Clan trilogy (House Of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects And Three From Hell), Sid had quite a career in the genre starting with Jack Hill’s Blood Bath (1966) and from there went on to star in such genre films like; Spider Baby (1967), Thx 1138 (1971), Beware! The Blob (1972), Galaxy Of Terror (1981), The Aftermath (1982), House Of The Dead 2 (2005), Night Of The Living Dead 3d (2006), A Dead Calling (2006), The Haunted Casino (2007), Halloween (2007), Brotherhood Of Blood (2007), The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto (2009), Dark Moon Rising (2009), Creature (2011), Mimesis (2011), The Inflicted (2012), The Lords Of Salem (2012), The Sacred (2012), Hatchet Iii (2013), Devil In My Ride (2013), The Penny Dreadful Picture Show (2013), Zombex (2013), Death House (2017), Suicide For Beginners (2018), Cynthia (2018) as well as the upcoming Hanukkah (2020)…
