Background
In the 1974 film Sally finds a woman's rotting corpse in the house while she is fleeing Leatherface. In The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) Drayton calls her "Great Grandma", and her skeletal body sits in a shrine the family calls "chainsaw heaven", hidden in the abandoned amusement park where they live; at the end Stretch takes a chainsaw from the corpse and uses it against Chop Top. Tobe Hooper confirmed on the sequel's commentary that she is the same Grandma as in the first film. Her corpse also appears in the comic Jason vs. Leatherface.
