The Texas Chainsaw Massacre


The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of my favourite horror movies ever made.

The plot: Five friends visiting their grandpa's old house are hunted down and terrorized by a chainsaw wielding killer and his family of grave-robbing cannibals.

After seeing this movie for the first time, it instantly became on of my favourites. I absolutely love Leatherface as a bad guy, chainsawing up young teenagers, making all kinds of weird and wonderful ornaments and trinkets out of their bones, and above all, wearing masks that he made out of people's faces, what a scary dude. His character was actually loosely based off of the American serial killer and grave robber named Ed Gein, here is an article about him. EdGeinBio

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was made in 1974, it was directed by Tobe Hooper, it stars Gunnar Hansen, Marilyn Burns, Edwin Neal and Allen Danziger. There were a few sequels made but nothing worth mentioning. Check out the trailer:
