THE SAWNEY BEAB BUNCH

 This is what the American horror movie "The Hills Have Eyes" is loosely based on.

"For 25 years, Sawney Bean and his incestuous family of cannibalistic children terrorized medieval Scotland. According to folklore, the brood would descend upon unsuspecting travellers and then dismember, pickle, and devour them. Some estimate that the family cannibalized up to 1,000 people — until one man escaped and told King James VI. Legend maintains that the king assembled a group of 400 men and a large number of bloodhounds just to track the Bean family down. And when the mob discovered the clan hiding out in a seaside cave, they found a scene of unprecedented carnage."
