He has a pet crocodile named Rocky, which he uses to dispose of people who upset him or his business. And there are plenty of those coming to stay at his place.In 2000, Tobe Hooper released Crocodile, a Spiritual Successor to this film. Crocodile even references Eaten Alive.

Hotter and Sexier: As if there wasn't enough nudity, the Japanese cut of the film inserted extra Male Frontal Nudity for Buck.

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Played for Drama. Clara is a naive runaway turned prostitute who is bad at recognizing dangerous people and ends up as a Disposable Sex Worker, while her sister Libby is cool-headed, primly dressed, a competent judge of character, and survives the film.

Male Gaze: There are a couple of close-up shots of Buck's girlfriend Lynette's legs and butt as she bends over during a pool game. It stands out more because most of the film's other titillation is of a Fan Disservice variety due to being from the point-of-view of an unhinged voyeur, rapist and murderer.

The Dog Bites Back: Faye undergoes a Trauma Conga Line that traces back to Judd, as he causes her husband and dog to be eaten by Rocky, tries to kill her daughter, ties up and molests Faye, and then injures her with a scythe before throwing her off a balcony. Consequently, the wounded Faye being the one to push Judd into the jaws of his pet crocodile feels appropriate.
