Cast and characters

From Dusk till Dawn

Seth Gecko

Seth Gecko (George Clooney) is the main protagonist and brief antagonist in the 1996 film, From Dusk till Dawn and its 2001 spin-off video game of the same name. Seth Gecko and his brother Richie are two dangerous criminals on a wild crime spree. Compared to his violent brother, Seth is a more calm, rational individual, always intending to keep his word to release his hostages if they comply with his demands. He was hampered by his brother's more violent nature. After kidnapping a father and his two kids, the Geckos head South to a Mexican bar to hide out in safety. After they face the bar's vampire clientele, they're forced to team up with their hostages in order to make it out alive. In the spin-off video game, Seth has been condemned to death for the Titty Twister murders and is now in the Rising Sun high-security prison, a converted tanker floating off the coast of New Orleans. Seth briefly appears in a photo cameo in the black comedy Curdled.

Richie Gecko

Richie Gecko (Quentin Tarantino) is a deranged rapist and murderer who, along with his brother Seth, kidnaps a preacher and his two kids and flees for the safety of a remote nightclub in Mexico. Unluckily for Kate Fuller (daughter of the preacher), she is the prime priority of Richie's intentions. He suffers from schizophrenia. It also appears that he only rapes those he thinks that want to have sex, for example, when he sees Kate Fuller he imagines her asking him "Richie, would you do me a favor and eat my pussy for me... please?" Unfortunately for the Geckos, the nightclub is full of vampires; Richie is murdered by dancer vampire Santánico Pandemonium, who bites him on the neck. Although it is believed he's dead, he comes back as a vampire. Seth is forced to kill him by jamming a pool cue into his chest. Richie briefly appears in a photo cameo in the black comedy Curdled.

Kate Fuller (Juliette Lewis) is kidnapped, along with her father and brother, by the Gecko brothers. Immediately, Richie is smitten with her, albeit only with lustful intentions. When the vampires reveal themselves, Kate is quick to jump into action and help destroy the monstrosities. Apart from Seth Gecko, Kate is the only person to make it out of the Titty Twister alive. In the end, she is left with the camper (and money Seth gave her) after Seth refuses to let her go with him to El Rey.

Scott Fuller

Scott Fuller (Ernest Liu) is kidnapped, along with his father and sister, by the Gecko brothers. He was turned by Carlos while in the temple. After finding his family he proceeded to hit and turn his father, Jacob. Scott left after being pushed away by his sister and shunned. He later joined Carlos in the search for the bonds.

Santanico Pandemonium

Santanico Pandemonium (formerly known as Esmeralda) (portrayed by Salma Hayek in the first film and Ara Celi in the third) is the 102 year old vampire queen and main attraction as an exotic and seductive dancer at the Titty Twister. She begins the vampires' feeding frenzy when she kills Richie Gecko in a spur-of-the-moment surge of bloodlust, triggered by his bleeding hand. She kills a second character in the Deleted Scenes section of the DVD. Santanico, in human form, sits on the lap of a dazed and wounded biker (portrayed by Gregory Nicotero of KNB Effects). Holding his gaze for a moment, a second mouth that resembles a monstrous snake erupts from her mouth and bites his head off. She is killed by Seth Gecko, who shoots down a chandelier to impale her.
