Head of the Family is a horror-comedy movie released in 1996 and directed by Charles Band. The movie revolves around the Stackpool family, who are an odd and dysfunctional bunch with strange physical deformities.
The head of the family, Myron Stackpool, is a criminally insane genius who has a massive head and a tiny body. He controls the rest of the family, consisting of his two brothers, Otis and Wheeler, and his sister, Ernestina, who are grotesquely deformed and mentally challenged.
Myron's twisted obsession with power and control leads him to kidnap a young couple named Lance and Loretta, who stumble upon the Stackpool's secret laboratory while on their way to elope. Myron sees an opportunity to use Lance's strong physique to transplant his own head onto Lance's body, giving him the physical form he's always desired.
As Myron's plans unfold and the Stackpools' dark secrets are revealed, Lance and Loretta must fight for their survival and escape from the clutches of the bizarre and twisted family.
Overall, the movie is a mix of horror and comedy, with dark humor and cheesy special effects. It has gained a cult following over the years and is considered a cult classic.
