My God, boy! What have you done?! Why? Why?! (Buddy grunts) You mean they were messing with your pigs? Jesus Christ boy, you can't just slaughter people 'cause they messed with your hogs! Now we're in a heap of trouble. Oh shit, I buy you a new bone thumper cleaver for your birthday and this is how you repay me? Sometimes you really piss me off. At least you made good, clean cuts. Listen boy, these people aren't to be feared, they are harmless. There are other heads i'd rather see roll than these kids. Murdoc, Sanford, and the Sheriff. Those sons of bitches who are scheming to take our property! They are the ones who deserve THIS!

Biography[]

Late at night, Deputy Dave Thomas and Sally Jean Duncan go to a hangout point and meet up with several other couples. Unbeknownst to all of them, an unseen figure is watching them. Eventually, most of them leave to try and scare Dave and Sally, but Kevin and Michelle stay behind to make out and have sex while the figure continues watching them. Kevin chases Michelle to an old scrapyard until the figure suddenly jumps out at them after Kevin starts antagonizing several pigs, screaming like an insane pig himself and swinging a giant meat cleaver at them. Kevin tries defending Michelle, but is quickly killed when he's hacked across the face with the giant blade. Michelle is then cornered inside a run down school bus by Buddy Bacon and stabbed to death off-screen, with her screams echoing in the night sky.

The next morning at a local slaughterhouse, health inspector Tom Sanford complains to Harold Murdock that he's offered to buy Lester Bacon's property twice now and each time he's refused. Harold tells Tom that they've been friends for many years and Lester's meat packing plant closed down eight years ago. Tom then tells Harold to try and convince Lester to accept his final offer to sell the property, or else he'll have the county put it up for auction where he'll then lose it all, but Harold reminds him that it's them who needs the plant.

Later on at Lester's home, Tom and Harold along with Sheriff Fred Borden arrive to find out the plant is not only littered with trash, but several dead animals killed by Buddy decorate the place. Tom offers Lester $55K for the plant, Lester can stay there, and even work for Tom as his consultant. Lester is then told that while the old and outdated plant would be torn down for an up to date plant, he would be providing hundreds of jobs for the town. However, Lester refuses to modernize since he believes cutting the meat with his own hands would be better than machines doing the job, with much less fat as well. Fred then informs Lester that his property is hereby foreclosed since he refused to sell and he has thirty days to leave.

As they're leaving Tom and Harold remembers that Buddy used to have a younger sibling, but no one knows for sure what happened to them and Buddy's mother died giving birth to him. They mock the late sibling, not knowing Buddy was listening to their entire conversation. Later on inside the plant, Buddy reveals to his father that he murdered both Kevin and Michelle and while Lester is initially shocked, he's glad that Buddy made such clean cuts. Lester then tells Buddy that they were harmless, but he should be killing those he believes are "conspiring against him", such as Harold, Tom, and Fred, exciting Buddy greatly.

Meanwhile, Sheriff Fred's daughter Liz and her friends have been planning on making a horror film and decide to make it at Lester's slaughterhouse. Lester calls Harold and pretends to apologize for being rash about his refusal and invites him over to negotiate the deal with him alone, to which Harold agrees. Lester then calls Tom for the same reason and agrees to meet him alone after he speaks with Harold. However, Deputy Dave Thomas arrives to there plant right after his call to investigate the area. Once he's alone in the freezer, Buddy suddenly chops off one of his hands and watches as he quickly bleeds to death, thinking he was the sheriff.

Once Harold finally arrives to negotiate their deal, he's ambushed by Buddy who, after a mock trial by Lester, crushes his skull with his bare hands. Buddy then takes Deputy Dave's uniform and steals his police car to go on a joy ride, during which he chases Sally Jean Duncan to a playground and slashes her throat with a butcher knife. Meanwhile, Tom finally arrives at the plant to meet with Lester and he's grabbed by Buddy, who forces him inside an industrial meat grinder and tears him to shreds.

After a blackout caused by a storm at the local dance, Liz, Skip, Annie and Buzz decide to return to the slaughterhouse and make a bet that Liz and Annie can't stay inside for an hour by themselves. Meanwhile, Sheriff Fred is worried about all the latest disappearances and decides to ask Lester if he knows anything about what's going on. Skip and Buzz plan on scaring their girlfriends, so they don the masks they bought for the movie and approach the slaughterhouse, unaware Buddy has spotted them trespassing. Sheriff Fred discovers Sally's destroyed car as well as Deputy Dave's stolen cruiser and investigates to try and find them.

After Skip and Buzz seperate to try and sneak up on Liz and Annie, Buddy in turn sneaks up behind Skip and stabbed him to death while a horrified Annie watches. She tries running away, but is then caught by Lester who kills her off-screen and impales her body onto a meat hook. While Buzz explores the slaughterhouse, Buddy suddenly stabs him in the head in his meat cleaver, instantly killing him. Now looking for Buzz and her friends, Liz finds them all dead and is kidnapped by Lester and Buddy who figure out she's Sheriff Fred's daughter, who then they both decide to torture her. Once Sheriff Fred arrive at the slaughterhouse, he finds his daughter's car and heads inside to try and find her, then once he hears her screams, Liz kicks Lester backwards onto several meat hooks and runs away while Buddy chases her and Lester pulls himself off. Fred scares off Buddy after he shoots his meat cleaver, and then helps his daughter out of the slaughterhouse, but is stabbed in the side by Lester. Thinking quickly, Liz shoots Lester in the chest with her father's pistol and then helps him to his cruiser. Lester tries chasing them, but is then ran over by Liz, crushing his skull under one of the tires.
