House of 1000 Corpses
In October of 1977, Rufus and the other members of his depraved family kidnapped five high school cheerleaders and brought them back to a barn on the Firefly homestead where they were suspended from the ceiling and brutally tortured.

On All Hallows Eve, Rufus and his sister Baby set a trap in order to gain fresh victims. Baby would hitchhike down the road and rely upon her sexuality to attract motorists into picking her up. After which, Rufus, while hiding in seclusion, would shoot out the vehicle's tires, necessitating a tow truck. He would then pick the travelers up in his tow truck and go through the motions of repairing their vehicle, while Baby invited them into the family home. In this particular instance, Rufus and Baby's victims included four youths named Bill Hudley, Mary Knowles, Denise Willis and Jerry Goldsmith.

Rufus and the rest of his family hosted a special candlelit dinner for their new guests before seeing them on their way. As they left however, Rufus and his siblings, Oits and Tiny, waylaid their vehicle and took the four motorists prisoner.

Rufus later accompanied Baby to Red Hot Pussy Liquores to acquire $185 dollars worth of beer and then stole a police cruiser.

Rufus was present when the Firefly family conducted a bizarre ritual in a nearby graveyard, in which they intended on sacrificing their four captives. Using his tremendous strength, Rufus effortlessly picked up Jerry Goldsmith and hurled him into a coffin.
