Eaten Alive (known under various pseudonyms in alternate regions, adopting such titles as Death Trap (UK), Horror Hotel, Horror Hotel Massacre , Legend of the Bayou, Murder on the Bayou and Starlight Slaughter) is a 1977 horror film directed by Tobe Hooper, featuring Robert Englund, Neville Brand and William Finley.

Director Quentin Tarantino used this movie's character Buck for the line in his kung fu homage movie Kill Bill, "My name is Buck, and I'm ready to fuck".

The film was inspired by serial killer Joe Ball, who reputedly fed over 20 victims to alligators as a means of disposal.

There is also another movie of this same name about humans eating humans.
