The Grave Yard

[Chainsaw]

Near the beginning of the film there was the scene where the gange go to the grave yard and Franklin waits in the van,looks over and sees a odd guy lying on the ground..what was wrong with him?...and when he was going about "seeing things" was he refering to The Sawyers?

The odd guy in the graveyard was pissed to the gills and possibly a bit touched in the head. It is my understanding that he had indeed witnessed the hitchhiker's grave robbing (possibly even a few murders). Naturally, his warnings fall on deaf ears. No one wants to listen to the ramblings of the local drunk...that might open the door to taking a bit of sound advice from a child. In horror films, generally speaking, these are the only people that ever know what's going on before it is too late.

If you think about it, the attachment of a good "I Told You So" gives greater horrific payoff to the inevitable outcome. Getting carved up by a chainsaw (Option A) is of course bad on its own. Now choosing Option A over an Option B (listen to odd guy, go home, eat dinner, go to bed) is just plain tragedy.

Yeah..good point.Just to mention but the graverobbing was a charistic adopted from Ed Gein.Also for The Texas Chainsaw Masscare2 with Nubbins(Hitchiker)attached to Leatherface when he was on the back of the truck sawing up the yupies in the car.That was the necrophiliac charateristic of Ed Gein.Those were used for the Sawyer familiy.

The truth is stranger than fiction.
