Captain Spaulding's Museum of Monsters and Madmen

"Howdy folks! You like blood? Violence? Freaks of nature? Well then, come on down to Captain Spaulding's Museum of Monsters and Madmen. See the Alligator Boy, ride my famous Murder Ride. Most of all, don't forget to take home some of my tasty fried chicken! Ha ha! It just tastes so damn good!"

- Captain Spaulding's famous TV commercial advertisement of Captain Spaulding's Museum of Monsters and Madmen.

Captain Spaulding's Museum of Monsters and Madmen is Captain Spaulding]'s namesake road side gas station, near Ruggsville, that doubles as an eatery and a Museum (complete with a carnival-like 4-wheeler vehicle inside known as the Murder Ride). The former being bragged about for its famous fried chicken. It is a very well-known fictitious location in House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects.

An ad for the Museum is often broadcasted on television that promotes the establishment for its "Fried Chicken and Gasoline" and features audio commentary and an appearance by none other than the owner, Captain Spaulding, himself. The commercial also offers directions as to where to find the Museum as well and dictates as follows, "Exit 13 off Route 1 at Ruggsville".

A sign advertising the Museum is seen on Route 1 advertising the Fried Chicken and Gasoline, enticing any would-be traveler to make a stop if needed. It is noted that to visit the establishment an exit must be made on Exit 13 in Ruggsville.

Overview
From the exterior structure of the Museum, a large neon sign is illuminated at night time hours to make a wider appeal and actually be seen from a distance. Also in addition, a large ghoulish butcher-like mannequin is seen next to the sign, on the statue's right side is also a large circus clown neon sign with the finger pointing downwards to the Murder Ride. A recorded hellish laughter is then played from speakers, which sit on the roof.

Once on the property, the Museum itself looks like any ordinary gas station or rest area. The Murder Ride is located to the east side of the premises, while the Museum is within the building in which you pay for gas and for food, if necessary. A large clown mannequin (which almost resembles the establishment's owner Captain Spaulding himself) greets any visitor by the door by an animatronic arm waving motion.

Within the Museum, many strange exhibits and oddities await. Such as:


 * The Alligator Boy, a mummified corpse of half an alligator and half human creature.
