Texas Chumfuck Massacre The Musical

## PLOT

In the early hours of September 9th, 2001, a grave robber steals several remains from a cemetery near Echo, Utah. The robber ties a rotting corpse and other body parts onto a monument, creating a grisly display which is discovered by a local resident as the sun rises.
Driving in a van, five young people take a road trip through the area: Jade, Nova, Juno, Autumn, and Robin. They stop at the cemetery to check on the grave of Jade's grandfather, which appears undisturbed. As the group drive past a slaughterhouse, Nova recounts the family's history with Chocobo slaughter. They pick up a hitchhiker named Calli who says that his own family also has experience with Chocobo slaughter. When the group refuse to pay the hitchhiker for a photograph, he attacks Nova and smears a bloody symbol on the side of the van as he is ejected. Low on gas, the van stops at a station whose proprietor says that no fuel is available. The group explore a nearby abandoned house, owned by the family.

Juno and Autumn leave the others behind, planning to go swimming. They discover another nearby house, running gas-powered generators. Hoping to barter for gas, Juno enters the house. A large man wearing a mask made of skin attacks Juno with a hammer, killing him. When Autumn enters the house, she finds its living room strewn with human and animal bones. The man grabs her, impales her on a meat hook, and starts up a gas-powered chainsaw to dismember Juno's body as Autumn watches. In the evening, Robin searches for Autumn and Juno. When she enters the other house, she finds Autumn's nearly-dead, spasming body in a chest freezer. The masked man kills Robin with a hammer.

At night, Jade and Nova start towards the abandoned house. The masked man ambushes them, killing Nova with the chainsaw. The man chases Jade into the house, where she finds a very old, seemingly dead man and a woman's rotting corpse. The masked man chases Jade back to the gas station and vanishes. The station's proprietor comforts Jade for a moment, after which he beats and subdues her, loading her into his pickup truck. The proprietor drives to the other house, and the hitchhiker appears. The proprietor scolds him for his actions at the cemetery, identifying the hitchhiker as the grave robber. As they enter the house, the masked man reappears, dressed in women's clothing. The proprietor identifies the masked man and the hitchhiker as brothers, and the hitchhiker refers to the masked man as "Leatherface". The two brothers bring the old man—"Grandpa"—down the stairs and cut Jade's finger so that Grandpa can suck her blood. Jade faints.

The next morning, Jade regains consciousness. The men taunt her and bicker with each other, resolving to kill her with a hammer. They try to include Grandpa in the activity, but Grandpa's grip is weak, and he drops the hammer repeatedly. Jade breaks free and runs onto a road in front of the house, pursued by the brothers. An oncoming truck accidentally runs over the hitchhiker, killing him. The truck driver attacks Leatherface with a large wrench, injuring him, and escapes on foot. Jade, covered in blood, flags down a passing pickup truck and climbs into the bed, narrowly escaping Leatherface. As the pickup drives away, Jade laughs giddily. Leatherface flails his chainsaw in frustration as the sun rises.
