The Kasady Family are the posthumous overarching antagonists of the 2021 film Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
They are Cletus Kasady’s dysfunctional family who abused him when he was a child, driving him to kill his mother and grandmother and be sent to St. Estes's children's home.
Biography
Mr. Kasady and Louise Kasady got married at some point and had a son, Cletus, which they did not wanted. Cletus was stillborn, but the doctors were able to revive him. Some time afterwards Cletus's parents and grandmother began to physically abuse him by beating him, which drove Cletus to lose his innocent nature and kill his grandmother by throwing her down the stairs and his mother by electrocuting her in the bath. He then attempted to kill his father, who subdued him and beat him to within an inch of his life before handing him in to the police. As Cletus was a juvenile, he was not tried for the murders, instead being sent to St. Estes's Home for Dysfunctional Children.
It is unknown on what happened to Mr. Kasady after sending his son, Cletus, to the police, but it is likely that he passed away before the events of Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
Trivia
- Although none of the family appear onscreen outside of Cletus's drawings, they can be considered indirectly responsible for the events of the film, as without them Cletus may not have grown up to become a sociopath and so would never have become a serial killer and come into contact with Carnage. He would also have never met Frances Barrison, who he first met at St. Estes's when she defended him from some bullies.
