- Where did the truck driver go: he just runs off away from his truck, the next 15 minutes with him could be its own movie, and he probably runs to the gas station, the worst possible place.
- Leatherface's next couple of days after losing his brother are imagined as tape study with Sean Payton: thicker windows, a second chainsaw, maybe going electric.
- The impact on hitchhiking: according to Ed Neal, Texas State Troopers thanked him because there were no more hitchhikers, though statistically it lasted a couple more years.
- Read verbatim from the internet: on August 5th, 2014, at 65, Marilyn Burns was found dead by her brother at her home in Houston with no cause of death specified; the question of what happened is handed to Concepcion and Tyler for a deep dive.
- Whose death would you want: Kirk's, because he does not see it coming and is dead before the sawing; the wheelchair guy's chainsaw death would be tough.
- The least wanted is Pam's: a slow death on the meat hook with a gaping hole in her back, watching somebody else get killed and knowing she is next.
- Earlier, one participant's unanswerable question is whether this movie ended hitchhiking.
- Were the kids cursed or marked for death by the burning photo and the blood on the van and pushed toward the house, or was it random; one sees some voodoo in the burned picture, another finds it scarier if random.
