The wicked Connecticut “House of Horrors” mom who allegedly kept her stepson locked up in a room for more than two decades rejected two plea deals Friday — opting to gamble her chances at trial.

Kimberly Sullivan, 57, refused to cop to a slew of charges in exchange for a 30-year prison sentence — with one deal allowing for her release after 20 years, and another cushier deal suspending the sentence after just 10.

The defiant stepmom would have had to plead guilty to one count of kidnapping, assault, unlawful restraint and cruelty to persons, the New Haven Register reported.

Kimberly Sullivan rejected two plea deals in court Friday.

“It’s a non-starter,” Sullivan’s attorney Ioannis Kaloidis said in July.

“I don’t anticipate the case resolving with anything that involves incarceration.”

The accused evil stepmother’s case will now likely go to trial, with the judge theorizing that the “meat of the trial” will take place in January.

The judge on Friday also knocked down Sullivan’s request to remove her electronic monitoring device, arguing she has made no attempts to flee since her arrest last year.

The stepson lit the house on fire in a desperate bid to escape the torture.

Sullivan faces two first-degree kidnapping charges as well as first-degree assault, first-degree unlawful restraint and intentional cruelty to persons.

Each kidnapping charge alone carries a maximum of 25 years in the Constitution State.

She has been free on a $300,000 bond since she was arrested last March — after her stepson set fire to the Waterbury home she kept him bolted inside for decades in a desperate bid for freedom.

Sullivan has denied abusing the man, who is now 33-years-old.

Sullivan allegedly locked the man inside at the age of 10, and only let him out of the room for a few hours at a time so he could do chores around the home. The tragic victim was yanked out of school by his stepmom in the fourth grade — and stowed away in a locked second-floor room.

Prosecutors likened the now-33-year-old stepson’s treatment to that of Holocaust victims, describing the alarmingly emaciated man, who spent much of his life in a state of near-starvation, as, “without exaggeration, akin to a survivor of Auschwitz’s death camp.”

He weighed just 68 pounds when he finally escaped.

Sullivan has denied ever locking her stepson in the room or starving him.

The man, who has not been identified, told investigators about his harrowing life in an 8-by-9-foot room — saying he survived on just two sandwiches a day and a snack and had to drink from a toilet bowl.

He spent at least 22 hours a day locked away inside the cramped second-floor “back storage space” room and had to rely on bottles and newspapers to relieve himself, court documents said.

“When asked if he was hungry every day, he stated, ‘All day, everyday, my entire life,’” the court papers said.

By the time he was rescued, the victim hadn’t showered properly in two years or had a haircut in three, authorities said.

He was only let out of his quarters at about 8 a.m. each day to do chores, he told cops.

“He stated that he was tasked to complete several chores in the house which may take him between 15 minutes and two hours, depending on what he had to do,” the filing states.

“From there, typically late in the morning, he was brought back to his room where he was locked there for the remainder of the day and through the overnight hours until it was time to get out and do chores again the following day.”

Sometimes, he would be locked away for 24 straight hours, cops said.

The victim said he passed the time by counting cars out of a window, teaching himself to read from a dictionary and listening to a radio that was kept outside his bedroom.
