Slaughterhouse Pillows
Description: Prisoner of war, optometrist, time-traveller - these are the life roles of Billy Pilgrim, hero of this miraculously moving, bitter and funny story of innocence faced with apocalypse. Slaughterhouse 5 is one of the world's great anti-war books. Centring on the infamous fire-bombing of Dresden in the Second World War, Billy Pilgrim's odyssey through time reflects the journey of our own fractured lives as we search for meaning in what we are afraid to know.
Description: A stark statement rendered in bold, white, sans-serif capital letters against a black background. The text is divided into three lines: "NOTHING HUMANE" on the top, "HAPPENS IN A" in the middle, and "SLAUGHTERHOUSE." on the bottom. The overall presentation is minimalist and direct.
Description: Kurt Vonnegut was the master of mixing sharp wit with deep truths, turning science fiction into stories about life, war, and everything in between. He made us laugh at the chaos of war, question free will, and see the quirks of human existence in a whole new light. In Vonnegut’s world, life’s messy, but at least it’s funny. So it goes.
Description: Prior to the events of first film, Leatherface presumably used to work as a butcher at the meat processing plant alongside his brother, "The Cook" (referred to as Drayton Sawyer in further films), as his other brother, "The Hitchhiker" (later identified as Nubbins Sawyer), claims he did not work at the slaughterhouse, but that "My BROTHER worked there. My grandfather, too! My family's ALWAYS been in meat." Leatherface's family uses the bones and skin of the people he kills to create furniture for the inside of their house, along with some animal bones for decoration. They process the victims' flesh into barbecue and chili, which Drayton sells at his restaurant/gas station, "Last Chance Gas."
