* BigScrewedUpFamily: Apart from the casual emotional abuse and sadomasochism metted out on a daily basis while they were alive, the Buckners eventually went from murdering travellers to mutilating and killing each other. In short order, Pa tortured Ma to death by cutting her belly open and filling it with hot coals; Matthew killed Judah; one of Patience' arms was cut off and fed to the rest of the family; Matthew killed Pa, specifically by mutilating his jaw; finally, he presumably killed Patience.
