Tobe Hooper's follow-up to
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre presents yet another Southern-fried psycho (this time in Louisiana) in the form of a scripture-mumbling, one-legged cracker named Judd (
Neville Brand). The proprietor of a seedy bayou inn, Judd keeps a pet gator in the nearby swamp, to which he frequently tosses the remains of his unfortunate victims -- including anyone who offends his delicate sensibilities. One such casualty is Harvey Wood (
Mel Ferrer), arriving at Judd's hotel in search of his missing daughter... who, unbeknownst to her old man, has already met her own doom courtesy of the scythe-wielding madman. Other patrons include one of the most annoying families on record -- with Chainsaw veteran
Marilyn Burns as the strangely-bewigged mom,
William Finley as the browbeaten husband and future
Halloween tyke
Kyle Richards as the endlessly-shrieking daughter (whose adorable puppy becomes a light gator-snack).
Nightmare on Elm Street fans can spot a young, pre-Freddy
Robert Englund in a small role as a lecherous cracker. Originally titled Death Trap and known by many aliases, including
Starlight Slaughter,
Horror Hotel Massacre and
Legend of the Bayou.
