Here's an interesting (creative) consideration.
Since Leatherface represents maniacal fear, we are invited to ask, "How would one go about catching the monster?"
Well, we know from the films that Leatherface can become overburdened by his cumbersome chainsaw (that dang thing!). In the original Hooper film and the 2003 re-make, the chainsaw fell on his own leg when he fell down, gashing it deeply.
Therefore, we have to find a way to reveal why that chainsaw of his SUCH a burden to him (that seems to be the only way!).
Here are some 'detective ideas' (humor me):
1. Chainsaw is a deforestation tool, so people think about trees when they think of a chainsaw, so (very subtly), people might think of deforestation, so why not pair the chainsaw (as a foil) with a child's water-gun (since water-guns represent peaceful imaginative play, and given that Earth's waters are eco-polluted, we might equally associate the water-gun with nature)?
2. Write to your Congressman and tell him, "This horror film dude Leatherface wields a chainsaw, but he ain't no Smokey the Bear, so we doubt he cares about the vitality of trees, so why not use the monster-avatar to talk about eco-depravity?"
3. Leatherface's chainsaw is very loud and disruptive (a true symbol of industrialization and technology), so wouldn't any image of the monster running across a shallow stream with that thing remind us of the tranquillity of nature?
