Spoiler: Kirk, Pam, Jerry and Franklin


Do you think they became dinner that night?

I know these next question may seem like stupid questions but hey, this film raises so many questions. It makes you think which means it's a good movie.

Also regarding those killed, do you think their bones were used to make furniture or do you think they often buried unused remains elsewhere? You do see the flesh covered severed 'arms' on the arm chair they tied Sally in so I'm wondering maybe if those were Kirks or perhaps Jerry's.

Now, ignoring the sequels and prequels, what do you think happened after Sally's escape. I could not imagine those who picked her up and the Black Marina driver would NOT have reported this to the police. The Sawyers would have to have been arrested and tried and convicted. The evidence was all around the house. But after the family had been put to death, can't you imagine that old house and gas station would have been lit up with paranormal activity -- the ghosts of those who died there. Creepy.

Good questions, ones I’d never considered. As to the bodies of the recent victims some of their meat may have been on the table though not a lot of time elapses in the film. Maybe they were still aging on hooks in the butcher room.

How the Sawyers were never found out is beyond logic. There were witnesses to Leatherface’ final rampage and every cop in the county would comb every square inch of the area. There’s no way they could have gotten away with it but hey, then we’d have no silly sequels;)

I think at least some of their meat was definitely on the table myself. I also agree with what you said about the Sawyers and how they would have had to have gotten caught, probably within the the following day. I don't think the Black Marina driver was killed because Leatherface himself was injured and couldn't do much. I'm sure a big guy like that driver would have had no difficulty handling Leatherface and the cook if he came out too.

Yeah, a great classic all time horror flick but the very end leaves you with reasonable questions.
