The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning
Chrissie and her friends set out on a road trip for a final fling before one is shipped off to Vietnam. Along the way, bikers harass the foursome and cause an accident that throws Chrissie from the vehicle. The lawman who arrives on the scene kills one of the bikers and brings Chrissie's friends to the Hewitt homestead, where young Leatherface is learning the tools of terror. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →"It cannot be preachy." The entire thesis of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was what if humans were treated like farm animals? The movie draws this comparison itself. It was preaching.
unlabelledView post →I’ve had the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE poster I did for the 40TH anniversary of the movie (& signed by the original cast including Leatherface) framed on my studio wall for 10 years and just last night accidentally found out how it looks with the black light! Wow! 😍😍😍
unlabelledView post →If you haven't seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, not even 10 minutes into the movie they're driving past a slaughterhouse with a character describing in detail how they used to kill cattle with a hammer and how they'd sometimes flop around on the floor still alive, foreshadowing the very first kill.

unlabelledView post →SHOCKTOBER ‘25 #1: DOG SOLDIERS I’ve seen this one several times and it’s always such a fun movie. I love the 16mm film, the graininess is reminiscent of THE EVIL DEAD and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. A fun, gnarly ride and a perfect kickoff to the season.

Year 2, Day #138 "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" (Jonathan Liebesman/2006) Actually a pretty solid entry into a series that should have never been, but we are glad it did become a franchise. Check it out.

Day #354 "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (Marcus Nispel/2003) Perhaps a little too polished for a TCM film but otherwise a fun, gory reimagining of the seminal classic. R. Lee Ermey was a national treasure. Check it out!

My professor showed us the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and as a follow up in the next class he brought in Tobe Hooper to discuss his film. That was back in 1985. It was the coolest class I had in college!

Because VHS tapes are hardly made anymore, there are some movies which are incredibly difficult to find in the format, with just a few hundred copies to their names. For example, due to the controversial nature of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, its VHS distribution was slim. These days, copies of the film on VHS…
