On the afternoon of August 18, 1973, five young people in a Volkswagen van ran out of gas on a farm road in South Texas. Four of them were never seen again. The next morning the one survivor, Sally Hardesty, was picked up on a roadside, blood-caked and screaming murder. Sally said she had broken out of a window in Hell. The girl babbled a mad tale: a cannibal family in an isolated farmhouse... chainsawed fingers and bones... her brother, her friends hacked up for barbecue... chairs made of human skeletons... Then she sank into catatonia. Texas lawmen mounted a month-long manhunt, but upon locating the macabre farmhouse. They could find no killers and no victims. No facts; no crime. Officially, on the records, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre never happened. 

But over the next 13 years, over and over again reports of bizarre, grisly chainsaw mass-murders persisted all across the state of Texas. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre had not stopped. It haunted Texas. It seemed to have no end

We look at the sick and twisted story of the Sawyer family, who slaughtered, buthered and ate anybody unfortunate enough to cross there path on the back roads of rural Texas
