The Film: Group of kids get systematically and brutally offed by a family of cannibals, although surprisingly mostly not with a chainsaw.

The Neighbours: The hitcher: utter mentalist who likes to self harm and talk about ‘headcheese’. Leatherface: behemoth of a man who wears women’s clothes and a mask fashioned from human skin. The cook: evil rat of a man who sells human flesh from a gas station. Grandapa: decrepit old patriarch. Grandma: corpse.

How To Avoid: Don’t go to Texas? If you do live next door to Leatherface and family best be cheerful and friendly and politely decline any dinner party invitations.
