Eaten Alive
Two years after shaking up the horror genre with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, director Tobe Hooper returned to the backwoods for 1976’s Eaten Alive, which swaps out a prairie house and power tools for a swamp motel and a ravenous giant crocodile. Englund’s role as frisky redneck Buck (as the character points out, his name rhymes with… a thing he likes to do) is minor but memorable, and is excellently capped with a gruesome, chomp-tastic death scene.
