Welcome to the Hive of 1000 Corpses
The Hive’s lights flicker tonight. Somewhere deep in the carnival fog, laughter echoes — high-pitched, sinister, and unmistakable.
It’s Captain Spaulding, the fried chicken–slinging, clown-faced maniac from House of 1000 Corpses, and he’s taking over Day 9 of the Halloween Hive.
This wave of Pops has been raising hell since August, and now with the Scare Fair 2025 exclusives, the market’s hotter than a backroad gas station explosion.
Captain Spaulding #1853 — Hot Topic Scare Fair Exclusive (LE 9500)
Release Date: October 8, 2025
Average Price: $64.86
This limited edition (LE 9500) Hot Topic exclusive hit shelves today, and sales are already setting the hive on fire. With early transactions between $57–$77, it’s clear collectors aren’t clowning around.
New exclusives typically dip after launch, but Spaulding’s cult-icon status makes this one a long-term keeper. Expect slight softening in the next few weeks, then a steady climb — that’s the usual life cycle for a horror Pop with a loyal fanbase.
Captain Spaulding #1850
Release Date: August 2025
Average Price: $18.81
The standard release — cheaper, yes, but still haunting shelves in style. Averaging around $19, this Pop gives new collectors an easy way into the House of 1000 Corpses lineup without the sting of exclusivity.
A good pickup if you’re not ready to go full grail mode, but still want Spaulding’s menacing grin staring at you from the hive shelf.
Captain Spaulding #58 (2014 Classic)
Release Date: August 2025
Average Price: $93.33
Now here’s the true grail of the clown kingdom. The 2014 Captain Spaulding #58 has become a cornerstone of horror Funko collecting — a mix of vintage charm and grotesque charisma.
With recent sales at $80, $94, and $106, this Pop has proven its staying power. Early horror line releases like this don’t just hold value — they define it.
And with Sid Haig’s passing in 2019, demand for original Spaulding Pops saw a heartfelt surge that’s never quite gone away. For collectors, this one’s not just a Pop — it’s a piece of horror history.
Otis B. Driftwood #1851
Release Date: August 2025
Average Price: $18.67
The face of chaos, Otis remains a steady seller. At an average around $18–$19, he’s maintaining strong resale stability since launch. Horror fans love the detail on this sculpt — that scruffy hair, that chilling expression — it’s pure Rob Zombie energy.
Baby (Glitter) #1852
Release Date: August 2025
Average Price: $18.84
The glitter edition of Baby Firefly adds a sinister sparkle to the set. Prices hover just under $19, making her a solid companion piece to round out your Corpses crew. While not skyrocketing, she’s the kind of Pop that collectors will regret skipping once the line’s vaulted.
Hive Collector Insight
The House of 1000 Corpses Funko wave is shaping up to be one of the most balanced horror drops of 2025. Prices across the board are steady — no extreme spikes yet, but tons of activity. That’s a healthy sign of both demand and availability.
Funko clearly learned from overprinting (Terrifier, anyone?) and hit a sweet spot here: just enough supply to satisfy collectors, not enough to flood the market.
For serious horror heads, these are strong mid-range investments with killer aesthetic appeal.
