Speech of the Week #14

Hey guys, welcome to a new column here on YDKS Movies entitled Speech of the Week! For now on, every Monday I will post a new scene from a movie that features a speech of some sort being given. After all, there are a lot of famous scenes in film where characters give an influential speech of some sort. Then again, there are also a lot of scenes where characters give a speech and it just comes off cheesy and lame. In this section, you will see both kinds. That's right, people, I'm giving you the good and bad of film speeches all wrapped up in one great big package. I hope you all enjoy.

This week's speech is from a movie that I really didn't like very much: Rob Zombie's House of  a 1000 Corpses. In this speech, Captain Spaulding gives a group of disposable teens a run-down on the legend of Dr. Satan during the middle of his murder ride. Yeah, the murder ride. It features a tour of the world's worst serial killers. This is really the only part of the movie that I can remember because I thought the concept of a murder ride was pretty funny. Anyways, the speech is fun because it kind of works like an old ghost story and Sig Haig is pretty awesome. Just by watching this scene, it's so evident how much Zombie has improved as a director since. Also, does that kid in the front of the roller coaster look familiar?

Yep, that's Dwight from The Office.
