Otis Monday

Otis Monday is the father of Maggie Monday, Stubbs' love interest, and grandfather of Andrew Monday. A triggerhappy neo-Unionist from the backcountry of Pennsylvania, Otis is the prideful owner of the Knobb Cheese Farm. One day in 1933, Otis came home to find his daughter in the male company of Eddie Stubblefield. Enraged, he chased Ed out of the house at gunpoint before executing him by shooting him in the stomach and dumping his body in the wild. He would later discover the brief encounter between him and Maggie to have produced an illegitimate child, who they named Andrew.

By 1959, Otis had developed severe paranoid delusions, becoming a conspiracy theoriest extraordinaire and established a militia called the Quaker State Irregulars, composed of fellow farmers, survivalists and retired veterans, who believe in an impending communist invasion, who are in cahoots with the aliens, biblical demons, the undead and ancient Mayan gods. Their compound is limited to the farm, but they defend it using their stockpile of hunting equipment and military antiques from World War I.

Otis is present at his son's speech at the biodome and catches a glimpse of the head zombie while hiding in the lobby. Ecstatic at seeing his delusions turn out true, he bands his crew together to make a stand at the Punchbowl Mall. He holes up at the top floor, armed with the rifle he had used years ago to murder Eddie, and misses his shot when Stubbs ducks as he walks into his field of view, then opts to retreat and leave Stubbs at the mercy of the chainsaw-massacring Cletus. He waits for the brute to return but ends up driving off after being stood up, unknowingly carrying Stubbs, stowawaying underneath his pickup truck, to his home.

When Stubbs breaches into his room, Otis brandishes a stick of dynamite and a match which would ignitet he massive pile of trinitrotoluene behind him. Upon examining the intruder more closely, he was shocked to find the figure to be Eddie. Taking advantage of his paralyzed state, Stubbs snatches the match out of Otis' hand, lights himself a cigarette and drops both on the gas soaked floor before sprinting for an exit. The explosion obliterates the entire first floor, including Otis.
