The Slaughter Family are the ruthless Cannibalistic Killers in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, where they will hunt down and kill the Victims before they can escape through one of the 4 exits around the map. There are up to 7 different playable killers to choose from and 1 non-playable killer, each with their own strengths and weakness. The Family matches out 3-4, with there being more Victims than Family members. This means Victims have a slight advantage when it comes to being able to work efficiently when it comes to objectives, but will it be enough to save them?

Sissy is travelling around the country, away from the family, thus these characters weren't in the film because they were doing other things.
