Eaten Alive (known under various alternate titles in different regions, including Death Trap (UK), Horror Hotel, Horror Hotel Massacre, Legend of the Bayou, Murder on the Bayou, Le crocodile de la mort (France) and Starlight Slaughter) is a 1977 horror film directed by Tobe Hooper. The cast includes Neville Brand, perennial exploitation film star Roberta Collins, Robert Englund who later appeared in A Nightmare on Elm Street, frequent Brian de Palma actor William Finley, Marilyn Burns who had appeared in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Janus Blythe who later appeared in The Hills Have Eyes, and Kyle Richards who later acted in Halloween. Name actors Carolyn Jones and Mel Ferrer are prominently billed but play supporting roles.
After refusing a request from frisky customer Buck (Robert Englund), prostitute Clara Wood (Roberta Collins) is evicted from the town brothel by the madam, Miss Hattie (Carolyn Jones). Clara makes her way to a decrepit hotel where she encounters the mentally disturbed proprietor Judd (Neville Brand) and his pet Nile crocodile in the swamp beside the porch. Upon realizing Clara was a prostitute, Judd attacks her while ranting and raving. Judd stabs her with a pitchfork and feeds her to the crocodile.

Animal stalking you at night
I'm a sucker for someone
And I got the prey in sight
Lying on a bed of leaves
In the modern times
You forget and let your spirit breathe
Capture me my blood is red
Another victim of your ritual
For you my skin is shed
Ecstacy ain't what you find
In the modern world
One flick of my tongue changes
The meaning of the world
And you say
That's impossible
That's not impossible to do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Eaten alive
I don't ever wanna be
Eaten alive
Now I got you on the run
And the quicker my senses
And the chance is, I'm the faster one
I know the universal law
Primeval times
With a little stimulation
It'll come once more, and you say
That's impossible
It's not impossible to do, oh
And you digest what I can see
The taste of you can be
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Eaten alive
I don't ever wanna be
Eaten alive
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cause you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust
You see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Tie me to a tree, crawl all over me
You can rip my shirt, drag me in the dirt
I will be your slave, anything you say
I don't ever wanna be eaten alive
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cos you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cos you're so dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
'Cos you're dangerous
No more hearts I can trust, you see
I don't wanna get eaten alive
To be eaten alive
Gotta do her, crawl all over me
You can rip my shirt, drag me in the dirt
I will be your slave, anything you say
I don't ever wanna be, eaten alive

pushed around too long, now i've drawn the line
your bullshit fucking lies won't catch up with me this time
from the start waiting to put the knife in my back
not falling for it anymore, on the fucking attack
say one thing and do another you two faced fucking dick
go pull your shit somewhere else cause your making me sick
a waste of fucking life is what you've lead
trash like you is better off dead
[solo - Wead]
Oppressed the earth is chained
Politics and lies
The plague
Cold corruption
Money is power it kills
Faceless the masses are blind
Where's your justice
Do you ever think for yourself
Believing all you see
Are you real
Braindeath
TV eats your mind to the core
Why can't you be who you are
Braindeath
Eaten alive,eaten alive
[solo - Meister]
Never will I be like you
Freedom is my way my god
Success is all you crave
A freak is what you are
Take my vengeance
Eaten alive like a pig
Conform to the norm of decay
Brainwashed
Greed is your game, there's no shame
Hunger in your wake but you don't care
Eaten alive, eaten alive
Deep into the jungle, I can hear their drums of death
Running through the forest, I can feel my end is coming here
We'll never get outta here
We'll be eaten alive
Pending from a tree, I can see how they're cutting my balls
Horror in the graveyard - An evil hellish sight
Worm eaten corpses rising in the night
They're seeking human flesh, they live for nothing else
Once they come to you - You can't defend yourself
Out of the grave - Death is stalking you
You can't escape - Your eaten alive
They bite into your flesh
But you're still alive
You scream out a cry of agony and death
Your guts are devoured
Your bones are stripped of flesh
Your mangled fucking carcass
drowning in this ocean of monumental waves
far away from the cyberian memorycard-saves
abducted by the currents of my awakening
twisted faces smiling, evoke a quake within
emerging from a world below, degenerating rapidly
claws of reality's got me now, stuck here eternally
an easy target, an easy prey
i am exceeding my domains
if i'll find a way, that leads me out of here
... i cannot stay, have to overcome my fear
wasn't quite prepared for the hostility outside
well-done, medium, rare - i would have been eaten alive
can't stand this pressure
please, get me out of here
an easy target, an easy prey
i am exceeding my domains
i leave this place so dark and sinister
it's too late - the sun has set forever
as the world keeps turning - then fade away into eternity
