(Not being able to go upstairs, being left in the car, and almost being left behind by his sister despite being unable to defend himself.“WHO WILL SURVIVE AND WHAT WILL BE LEFT OF THEM ?”…Described by The News of the World as the ‘sickest carnival of slaughter ever seen’…”The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” has become one of the most debated films of all time bringing (at the time) nauseating, forceful horror to the screen with a focussed realism that was new to mainstream cinema.

Additionally, Franklin is implicitly said to have been butchered and served as dinner, but despite this, the skeleton seen in TCM2 shows no sign of damage, meaning it is likely a continuity error. However, in the first movie, his wheelchair is seen in the Sawyer House after he was killed and after The Cook captures Sally, his wheelchair is empty, standing near the wall in the kitchen.
