the reason this movie have twenty alternate title be because tobe hooper and the film distributor want to combat the terrible word of mouth that would inevitably arise once the film be show to unsuspecting audience . that how bad this movie be even it creator be ashamed of it . don not ask me what tobe hooper be think with this movie . one of these day i will track him down and ask him about it . hey tobe and why do you think we want to see a movie with robert englund a a sodomy obsessed nutcase and a filty and rundown hotel with an obvious psychopath for a proprietor and a random and fake look alligator . maybe hooper be drink on the success of the texas chainsaw massacre . maybe he be just drunk . i do not know . but this seriously have to be one of the bad and most unbearable film of all time . in tcm you could sorta believe what be go on . here we have what be probably the bad and least inviting hotel on the planet and but somehow people keep show up and check in . be you people crazy . just freakin look at that place . and look at the crazy guy with a scythe who run it . and look at the giant alligator in the diseased swamp out front . gee and honey and this place look nice . for some reason the sky be red throughout almost the entire film . be it suppose to be on mar .
