Trivia / Eaten Alive! (1976)

• Completely Different Title:
  • Colombia: Chilling Obsession

  • Germany: Bloodlust
  • Greece: The Inn of Terror
  • Italy: That Motel by the Swamp
  • Japan: Devil's Swamp

• Creator-Driven Successor: The film shares some similarities with Hooper's earlier film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), namely the setting and the scene where one of the characters escapes with a lift from a random passerby.
• Similarly Named Works: There's also the 1980 Italian cannibal film named Eaten Alive!. Coincidentally, Mel Ferrer appeared in both films.
• Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Film took inspiration from Joe Ball, a Southern serial killer who allegedly fed his victims to his pet alligators.
