Experience[]

Facade[]

The facade was the Sawyer House surrounded by fences and foliage. Outside was Nubbins Sawyer interacting with guests. Guests would then enter the maze.

Haunted Maze[]

Guests entered the foyer of the house while walking through animal pelts hanging down. Next to a steel door was the lifeless body of Kirkland as Leatherface would then open the door and pop out with a sledgehammer and then shut the door.

Guests then went into the sitting room covered in chicken feathers as Leatherface would pop out from a door panel with a sledgehammer. Guests would then go down a hallway with windows and clothes hanging down.

Guests would then enter the attic where Grandma Sawyer and Grandpa Sawyer are. Grandpa Sawyer would pop out at guests from his chair with a hammer as Leatherface would come at guests with with Chainsaw from in between Grandma and Grandpa.

Guests would then head down a hallway with skin pelts on the walls and head into the sewing room where Leatherface was sewing together a new mask and would pop out at guests.

Guests would then enter the kitchen and see Pamela Jones as a static figure inside the freezer and hanging on the meathook trying to move. Leatherface would pop out behind a table with his chainsaw at guests and then would bury the chainsaw into Kirkland on the table.

Guests would then enter the dinner table scene where Nubbins, Drayton Sawyer, Grandpa were. All of them sitting at the table as Grandpa Sawyer is attempting to wack a static figure of Sally Hardesty with his hammer as Drayton and Nubbins cheers him on. Leatherface would then pop out from the other side of the room with his chainsaw.

Guests would then enter a room with Leatherface in a chair rocking back and forth and then would be scared from Nubbins Sawyer from behind a window. Guests would then enter a black hallway.

Guests would then enter the outside of the gas station where Leatherface would pop out from the left before they entered. Drayton Sawyer would scare guests from behind a window immediately when they entered. A static figure of Sally with a bag on her head could be seen and Leatherface could be seen cutting off the face of a static figure as he then attempts to wear the face.

Guests then enter the outside woods where Leatherface then pops out burying his chainsaw through a static figure of Franklin Hardesty. Guests would then enter the graveyard where Nubbins Sawyer would pop out of the crypt behind glass and then Leatherface would pop out on the other side.

Guests would then enter a black Hallway with one last Leatherface scare before exiting the maze as "Deep in the Heart of Texas" plays.

Quotes[]

  • "The film which you are about to see is an account of the tragedy which befell a group of five youths, in particular Sally Hardesty and her invalid brother, Franklin. It is all the more tragic in that they were young. But, had they lived very, very long lives, they could not have expected nor would they have wished to see as much of the mad and macabre as they were to see that day. For them an idyllic summer afternoon drive became a nightmare. The events of that day were to lead to the discovery of one of the most bizarre crimes in the annals of American history...The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." - Narrator
  • "Grave Robbing in Texas is this Hours Top News Story. An informant led Officers of the Muerto County Sheriff's Department to a cemetery just outside the small, rural Texas community of Newt early this morning. Officers there discovered what appeared to be a grizzly work of art. The remains of a badly decomposed body wired to a large monument. A second body was found in a ditch near the perimeter of the cemetery. Subsequent investigation has revealed at least a dozen empty crypts. And it's feared more will turn up as the probe continues. Deputies report that, in some instances, only parts of a corpse had been removed. The head, or in some cases, the extremities removed, the remainder of the corpse left intact. Evidence indicates the robberies have occurred over a period of time. Sheriff Jesus Maldinado refused to give details in the ghoulish case and said only that he did have strong evidence linking the crime to elements outside the state. Area residents have reportedly converged on the cemetery fearing the remains of relatives have been removed. No suspects are in custody as the investigation at the scene continues." - Radio Narrator
  • "Hey! Hey! Hey! You been up to the Slaughterhouse? I used to work there. My brother too. My brother makes good headcheese! They use the jaws, muscles, the eyes, the ligaments... and everything! They boil the nose and the gums down to a big jelly of fat. They don't throw nothing away! It's really good! You like it!? - Nubbins Sawyer
  • "Grandpa was the best killer there ever was. Why, it never took more than one lick they say. Why, he did 60 cattle in five minutes once." - Drayton Sawyer
  • "Hey Grandpa! We gonna let you have this one!" - Nubbins Sawyer
  • "You gotta make him Stop!" - Sally Hardesty
  • "You damn fool! You ruined the door!" - Drayton Sawyer
  • "I thought you were in a Hurry!" - Nubbins Sawyer
  • "He's gonna get you Franklin. He's coming to get you. He's gonna kill you Franklin." - Jerry
  • "I told you to stay away from that graveyard!" - Drayton Sawyer.
