Death Trap is the international release title for Eaten Alive, Tobe Hooper's 1976 follow-up to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and his first major studio horror production. The film, set in a decaying Louisiana hotel run by a deranged proprietor with a pet crocodile, brings back Marilyn Burns in a supporting role and features Neville Brand, Mel Ferrer, and a young Robert Englund in one of his earliest screen credits. The Japanese theatrical run launched December 25, 1976 under the title 悪魔の沼 (Devil's Swamp), and the B2 poster pairs an oversized scythe and disembodied hand composition with stark red typography typical of the period's local horror campaigns. A Hooper artifact for collectors of post-Chain Saw American horror.
