Biography
Original Timeline
Bubba Sawyer
Leatherface was living with his brothers Drayton and Nubbins and Grandpa on their farmhouse in Texas. Siblings Sally and Franklin Hardesty go out with their friends to investigate the robbing of a local cemetery in order to make sure their grandfather's grave has not been violated. They run afoul of Nubbins and eventually the rest of his family, culminating in Leatherface killing everyone in the group except Sally. Leatherface and Drayton bring Sally into their home, intent on killing and eating her. She escapes by jumping out of the window, with Leatherface and Nubbins in hot pursuit. She manages to elude Nubbins, who is run over by a passing truck. When Leatherface arrives on the scene, the trucker throws a pipe wrench at him, causing him to fall backwards and cut into his leg with his own chainsaw. The driver panics and runs off, and Sally dives into the back of a pickup truck, narrowly avoiding Leatherface's chainsaw as the truck drives away. Enraged, he swings his running chainsaw around in all directions in a macabre dance. While Nubbins held Sally down, Leatherface helps Grandpa Sawyer in killing her with a sledgehammer. However, due to his immense age and failing strength, Grandpa Sawyer kept on dropping the hammer, forcing Leatherface to pick it up for him multiple times. During the struggle, in which both Leatherface and Nubbins attempt to help their grandfather, Sally manages to break free and escapes from the house. Leatherface then pursued her with Nubbins, his brother, chainsaw in hand. While being attacked by Nubbins, Sally manages to get a passing truck to stop, which resulted in Nubbins' accidental death. With his brother dead, Leatherface was forced to chase after Sally himself. While the panicking truck driver and Sally escape, the former throws a wrench at Leatherface, causing the serial killer to fall backwards and cut into his leg with his chainsaw. This minor injury prove to be ineffective as Leatherface continues pursuing them. After the truck driver escaped, Leatherface now focused solely on killing Sally. After she managed to escape on the back of a pickup truck, he began swinging his chainsaw around in rage.
One night in 1987, Leatherface and Chop-Top, who is Nubbins' twin brother, went for a ride in his truck along with the latter's corpse. Bubba uses Nubbins' body as a puppet and attacks two young men in a car, who are making a call to a radio station. This resulted in a car crash, in which both of the men inside are killed and the Sawyer brothers get away. Vanita "Stretch" Brock, a radio DJ, hears everything and puts it on a tape. She later brings it to Sheriff Lefty, the uncle of Sally and Franklin Hardesty, who decides to try and look for the killers.
