So I had this really odd dream/nightmare thing last night . . .
It started out as some alternate Dana college type dream. In the dream, Dana was on some seaside cliff/beach thing. I remember it being night time, and I walked down the path from the top of the cliff to the water. There was a ton of litter everywhere, and I remember that I wanted to walk in the water, but I was wearing my tennis shoes and didn't want them to get wet.
After just walking along for a little bit, thinking about something I can't remember now, I started to walk back up the cliff path thingy. The cliff path wound through huge piles of construction stuff, and I knew that it was construction stuff for the set for the play. The path continued up till it brought me to the theater's back door, and as I was walking, I remember seeing my friend Matt (Dana Matt who always built all the sets) rummaging around in the constuction piles to get to work on the next set.
And from here, the dream jumps to this depiction of Leatherface sleeping in bed in a house about a block away, just off campus. Although, now that I think of it, "campus" merely consisted of the theater building, and the beach below . . .
Anyway, some guy wandered into Leatherface's house and woke him up. Here, the dream gets fuzzy again, but basically, Leatherface grabs his chainsaw and starts going nuts.
Flash forward to some heavy-set young guy with long greasy black hair. He heard commotion going on in Leatherface's house, so he goes to investigate. He runs afoul of Leatherface, and promptly runs out of the house. Leatherface chases, and catches up with the guy. In dodging the chainsaw blow, the guy manages to get Leatherface to fall on the Chainsaw, ripping up Leatherface's insides. Thinking he's safe, the guy stops running.
After a few moments, Leatherface, gets up, and resumes the chase. The guy goes "what the hell!? You just slashed yourself with a chainsaw! Why aren't you dead!?" Leatherface offs the bewildered greasy guy.
Now the dream shifts back to my own viewpoint, as I watch the guy get offed. I managed to start running away before Leatherface notices my presence and run into Miranda. Just as I'm warning her that we need to escape, Damian comes riding in on a really loud golf cart and catches Leatherface's attention. After screaming at Damian to turn and run, Miranda and I hop on a nearby horse, and the three of us flee the campus with the chainsaw maniac in pursuit.
At some point, we run into Scott (not sure when, it's one of those blurry points), and we head for the nearby mountains. It's quite clear we've left Leatherface far behind, so we start to scale the cliffy mountains, and actually run into a big group of people who were fleeing said chainsaw psycho.
We all climb up farther, looking for a place to hide from LF, when we find a dark little cave-esque overhang. Relieved that we've finally found shelter, and finally ditched LF, we all settle down and breathe a sigh of relief.
Just then the roar of a chainsaw rips through the air as Leatherface bounds out of the dark little cave-esque overhand and starts offing people left and right.
"How the hell did he get ahead of us!? God, it's like he's riding a freaking dinosaur!!" Scott exclaims. Then we all look at him like he's had a brilliant epiphany, and we turn and jump on the readily waiting Apatosaur, and ride it down the mountain, away from the poor souls getting butchered.
Just as we begin our escape, LF realizes we're getting away again, and he hops on a nearby Tyranosaurus Rex, and begins to give chase.
Another of those time-lapse things happen, and I'm suddenly aware that we've been fleeing LF for a really long time, except we're not really gaining distance or losing him at all. As the four of us are wondering what we can do to lose him again, we come upon a valley with a river, powerlines, and a train in the basin.
We head for the bottom of the valley, and our trusty dinosaur steed leaps over the powerlines. LF's T-Rex, on the other hand, doesn't see them, and promptly gets tangled up in them. He thrashes around, colliding with the train and knocking it off it's tracks, and finally falls into the river, where both dino and LF are electrocuted.
Hurray! We've finally won! The train people come out and congratulate us on a job well done. Everyone is happy and relieved that the chainsaw massacre has finally come to an end!
. . .
And then one of the train cars flies up into the air and crashes to the ground and explodes. People start to flip out all over the place while Leatherface, once again, resumes with the chainsaw killing.
In the midst of all the chaos, the dream changes perspective again, and does a close up of some terrified guy climbing out of the wreck of one of the traincars. I instinctually recognize him as the sole survivor of the previous Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie, and he's freaking out because he thought he was finally free of Leatherface for good.
The survivor guy meets up with my quartet, and we're all trying to figure out what to do, and how to survive, and how to stop Leatherface, when I think to myself:
"This is bullshit. No matter what happens, LF is just going to get back up and chase us some more. I'm fucking sick of this. I'm getting up."
