Capt. Spaulding played by the ever great Sid Haig is back with yet more classic lines and for me steals the film.
An absolute horror classic, it freeze frames at just the right time. Cuts away and is nicely edited with a classic period soundtrack.

On May 18, 1978, Texas Sheriff John Quincey Wydell (William Forsythe), and a large posse of State Troopers issue an S and D mission on the Firefly family for over seventy-five homicides and disappearances over the past several years.
The next morning, dozens of police cars arrive at the Firefly farm, and Tiny (Matthew McGrory) notices them while dragging a body into the woods. Sheriff Wydell announces to the Firefly family that they will surrender outside or face execution. The Family arms themselves and return fire to the officers. Rufus (Tyler Mane) is killed, and Gloria Firefly (Leslie Easterbrook) is taken into custody, failing to commit suicide (her gun was empty) while Otis (Bill Moseley) and Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie) escape. Once off of their property, Baby pretends to be hurt in the middle of the road. When a nurse who happens to be driving by pulls over, Otis comes from behind and kills her with a knife. The two escape in her car and drive towards their specified meeting spot.
They head to Kahiki Palms motel, a run-down windblown place to seek refuge from the law and media coverage. While at the motel Baby seduces Roy, part of the Banjo and Sullivan singing group. While he is off-guard due to Baby’s sexual innuendos, Otis sneaks up behind him, holds him at gun-point and demands he take them back to his room where the rest of the band is resting minus their roadie, who is at the gas station getting beef jerky. Otis and Baby takes the band hostage in the hotel room and Otis shoots Jimmy the roadie when he returns.
Meanwhile, Baby's father Captain Spaulding, after being alerted by Baby about the raid, hits the road to come to the hotel to meet Baby and Otis. His car runs out of gas and Spaulding assaults a woman and scares her son, taking their car in the process. Back at the hotel, Otis sexually assaults Roy's wife Gloria and Otis demands Adam and Roy to come with him on an errand.
