rewatching tonight
For the 50th of its date

When the hitcher is with them, he talks about how using a sledgehammer was a better way to kill livestock. When Leatherface kills Jerry, it's with a similar instrument.
It's often used as a defense that Leatherface felt he was just defending his home from trespassers. But given the trinkets found around the old Hardesty place, it seems the Sawyers were trespassers themselves. Hypocrisy
