The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Page #4

Synopsis: En route to visit their grandfather's grave (which has apparently been ritualistically desecrated), five teenagers drive past a slaughterhouse, pick up (and quickly drop) a sinister hitch-hiker, eat some delicious home-cured meat at a roadside gas station, before ending up at the old family home... where they're plunged into a never-ending nightmare as they meet a family of cannibals who more than make up in power tools what they lack in social skills...

to do that to yourself like he did. God!

Hey, you think I said something

made him mad?

- Well, what?

- Franklin, you're crazier than he was.

Hey, I got us some barbeque.

- Newt's the closest place to get gas.

- Aw.

Aren't we going out to Grandpa's place?

There's a creek. You could go swimming.

Let's go.

Come on, Sally.

We're going to Grandpa's place.

Let's go!

Hey, that guy smeared blood

all over the van.

- Like he was trying to write something.

- What'd he do?

Did he write something on the van?

Let me see your knife.

Thank you.

Franklin, if we run out of gas

before we get back to that station,

you're towing us back in your chair.

Hey, you think that guy's

just trying to scare us

by, you know,

blowing up my picture like that?

Oh, I wish they hadn't

let the place fall apart.

It looks like the birth place

of Bela Lugosi.

- I'm scared.

- I'll help you with that.

- See that window over there?

- That's strange.

Hey, watch my arms.

Watch out.

- Be straight. Come on. Hey.

- I'll get you from here.

I want to see that smear

that guy made.

- Oh, man.

- Weird. I wonder if that means something.

It's the mark of Zorro.

He's going to get you.

- Come on.

- Why don't you wash it off?

I want to show you the inside.

- Jerry!

- OK.

Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.

- Come on, Kirk.

- Here, man, you wash it off.

You don't think that guy would try

and follow us?

What for?

Where's my knife? Kirk?

It looks like it must've been a nursery.

This is my room. I got to stay here one time

when I was eight years old.

- Right after my grandmother died.

- What happened?

- What happened to my grandmother?

- Yeah. She died.

- What do you think of the wallpaper?

- It's seen better days.

These animals used to talk me to sleep

when I was little.

Look at the zebras.

I had these fascination for the zebras.

Sally!

Sally!

Hee-hee-hee-hee, hee-hee-hee-hee.

Hee-hee-hee-hee.

Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee.

Come on, Franklin.

It's gonna be a fun trip.

If I have any more fun today,

I don't think I'm going to be able to take it.

Aah! Ah!

- Hey, Franklin.

- Hey, Franklin. What's wrong?

You said there was a swimming hole

around here?

Yeah.

Well, Pam and I would like to go swimming,

man.

Uh, there used to be a trail

down between those two old sheds.

Come on, we'll find it.

- Are Jerry and Sally going?

- No. We'll see you in an hour or so.

Yeah.

We'll see you in about an hour or so.

Sally?

Sally!

Zero in the world.

Just shoot him

and put us out of our misery.

- Snakes and spiders!

- Stop it!

And scorpions! Man-eating lizards.

- Kirk, help. Kirk!

- Ow. Ow.

Oh.

Crap.

This must be it.
