Another classic from the horror maestro Tobe Hooper. A psychotic redneck owns a dilapidated hotel in the middle of nowhere. You check in alive... but check out dead! Watch out for young Robert Englund – future Freddy Krueger – in one of his first roles. Loosely based on the story of Joe Ball (also known as the Bluebeard from South Texas or the Alligator Man).
