Eaten Alive (1976)
Tobe Hooper’s first film after 1974’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was this swampy Psycho-meets-Jaws riff about a deranged motel owner (veteran actor Neville Brand) who disposes of his customers-turned-victims by feeding them to his pet crocodile. The rest of Eaten Alive’s cast features Texas Chainsaw final girl Marilyn Burns, as well as Carolyn “Morticia Addams” Burns, Kyle Richards (who’s in the original Halloween and Halloween Kills, and is also now a stalwart of Bravo’s Real Housewives series), Hollywood legend Mel Ferrer, and current Stranger Things co-star Robert Englund, years before he became better known as Freddy Krueger.
