Most people’s perspective on the characters are flipped as far as Sally & Franklin. I love that you actually see them for who they are. Most people just think Franklin’s annoying, but he’s the only one that was actually paying attention to the red flags and as a final girl, Sally is the weakest because she ran headfirst into the chaos, but still somehow managed to survive. Fun fact: her maniacal laughter at the end was because shooting this movie was so grueling. There was a point where they thought they were done shooting, which was a relief to everyone, but they called Marilyn Burns (Sally) and were like “nvm, we’re not done yet” so that last scene was her basically having a fucking meltdown because of the entire process. Dead middle of august in the Texas heat, that house was full of actual animal carcasses, raw meat, and most definitely the smell of BO, rot, & god knows what else. I wanna say the dinner scene lasted like a full 24 hours or something and with the lights & all the extra bodies in the room, it was like 20 degrees hotter inside than it was outside. They literally had to go outside to cool down. Also, their wardrobes were never washed to keep up the continuity, so when they would break for lunch, no one would sit with the actor that played leather face because he smelled so bad. Also, the scene where they cut her finger, there was supposed to be a tube rigged up or something, but they couldn’t get it to work properly, so being frustrated and just wanting to get the scene going, the actor that played leather face actually just cut her finger. And that rag they put in her mouth was just a random dirty rag they found on the ground….Sally may be a weak final girl, but Marilyn definitely put in the fucking work for this movie. Just to get a paycheck that probably wasn’t worth her while. But honestly, the entire cast and crew had it rough. The financing for this movie was real wonky because they accidentally somehow got involved with the mob or something so they were scammed out of most of the money they would’ve made. Even if you don’t revisit the universe, I would definitely recommend researching the making of it. It’s so interesting. What I told you barely scratches the surface.

Franklyn is probably the most interesting character of the victims. The fact that he's disabled is really interesting, the representation of disability in the film is something that makes it stand out compared to other slashers and i like how they portray the insane violent cannibals in contrast to someone like Franklyn whom is just a regular dude stuck in a wheelchair. I feel really bad for him. He gets his wrist slashed open and yet nobody bothers to help him up the stairs of the house or even pay any attention to him. Even his own sister wheels him face first into a chainsaw and immediately runs away to let him die. Poor bastard didn't deserve that, he was the only one with a working brain in the group but too bad his disability was just a hindrance to everyone (including himself when he finally meets his demise).

Fun fact: Marilyn Burns was such a slow runner that her costars had to improvise ways to not catch up to her, which is why The Hitchhiker zig-zags and Leatherface keeps sawing branches. It takes a couple of re-watches to piece it together but the family works like this: They're several generations of slaughterhouse workers put out of work by automation; they're partially inbred because of the isolation. The Cook lives alone with Grandma and Grandpa, so he's the weird uncle. The Hitchhiker is schizophrenic and Leatherface is his mentally challenged brother. Their parents and other relatives have moved away and left all the crazy siblings to live together in the old house in the middle of nowhere so they don't have to take care of them. The Hitchhiker was supposed to stay home with Leatherface but he fucked off to do necrophiliac shit in the graveyard so Leatherface was all alone when the kids showed up, and he freaked out and killed them to avoid getting in trouble for letting them in. He's got the mind of a child and doesn't understand the gravity of his actions, he just kills because he's been taught to do that. Notice how Leatherface changes his clothes and face depending on what job he's doing at home: wearing an apron and a woman's face to play mother in a house with no women.

I feel like that in turn does mildly help JUST how many runaway youths would also rely on hitch hiking. There's probably more victims from the hitchhiker side than the ride side, considering the power dynamics of taking someone into your car. There were a few serial killers who took advantage of it, since it was likely that the hitchhiker was unwanted/marginalized at home anyway. But seriously if you ran away from home as a hippie/60s youth rebel, you'd probably hitchhike until you ended up in a commune or Height and Ashbury. It probably made friends more than enemies but it kinda speaks to our lack of public transport that kids were like "Imma just hop into this stranger's car... Multiple times. Across the country"--just not a thought any of us would have anymore.

Want to be really unsettled? This was real. All of it. No, the story itself is not real. "Leatherface" is not and never was a real person (though he's very heavily based on a very real person named Ed Gein who also made face masks out of skin), but all the props were real.. and I mean ALL the props. That was a real chainsaw the actor was swinging around, not a fake prop, and that is him ACTUALLY chasing the actor around at night with a real chainsaw. That in itself isn't the most messed up part though. The bones. Every single bone was real. Not just animal bones, but the human remains as well. The fact of the matter is, in 1974, it was actually CHEAPER to import REAL skeletons from india than it was to purchase realistic looking prop bones, which were hard to make and were very expensive as a result... so yeah, they had to make the set props like that coach and the lamp made out of human bones with REAL bones, and on top of that all the blood used in the film was also REAL blood they had been able to collect from a real local slaughter house. Because real pig blood was used to mark the walls and other parts of the set, that was one of the biggest contributing factors to the awful smell as the Texas heat got worse during the filming process. Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of those weird movies where the actual making of it was almost as horrifying as the movie itself...

Fun Fact, when this film was released in 1974, The MPAA had initially given this film a G-rating. It was due to the fact that the film features no sex or nudity, no language, no drug or alcohol use, and no scenes of hardcore violence and gore. The film had been approved to be released to theatres with a G-rating but was recalled and given its R-rating due to the nature of the film. I'm currently in Graduate school at The University of Iowa. I'm earning my M.A in Strategic Communications and I'm writing my semester-long research paper on Horror movies that are based on true stories and the effect that it has on the audience. I would love to interview you about your opinions of the film and get your thoughts on the true events that inspired the film. Really enjoyed your video, hope to hear from you soon.

First time I’ve ever heard this story told that way. The way I heard from Tobe in an article I read is that HE wanted a PG rating but the studios felt with the tone of the movie, what actually happened is the film passed through requiring no edits which landed it an R rating, much to Hooper's disappointment, who was hoping the film would get a G rating (though I’d always heard it was PG). Could you imagine masses of 70s kids flocking to the theatre to see this? As someone who first saw this movie in their teens, that’s a horrifying thought. It disturbed me then and still unsettles me today.

This was great. I'm desensitized to horror, so it's awesome to see how impactful this film truly is. Just for funsies, if you WERE to rewatch it, you might see, this movie actually isn't gorey, like at all. It's mostly suggestive which again, shows why it's such a classic for still having that impact. Also, IF you were to say, feel brave and give the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2"(NOT the remake) a chance, it's a lot more light hearted and almost a comedy. More gorey but I promise you won't be as traumatized as from this one 😁

The three of them live with their grandpa and the corpse of the grandma. Oh and the hitchhiker has a twin brother, Robert “Chop Top” who was in Vietnam during the events of the first movie, he comes back in the sequel.

Also your commentary is spot on! The jokes be jokin'! And you are so chill even though you be watching people get chopped to death. I'm so glad to have found this channel. Also shout out to The Expanse (I saw that MCRN sweat shirt you were wearing a few videos back. What a great sci-fi show! Ps. I don't know why this movie got remade to be darker and edgier... idk if the girl from 7th heaven is in it, this movie never needed to be remade.

I love this film. This is the most perfect horror film ever made, it is perfectly done. The kills are not excessively gory, Leatherface is absolutely terrifying without being superpowered or supernatural, the isolated setting seems abandoned and there is nowhere to really run to, the chainsaw is now an iconic weapon because of this film, the helplessness of the situation and the difficulty of escape makes the film horrifying. There is no 'happy' ending as Leatherface is never punished and probably claimed more victims after the film ends. It is an absolutely iconic film and is one of my favourite horrors of all time.

Alanda, I have to say that, after 59 years of being on this planet, and being a full on Chainsaw fan for much of it, this is the first reaction I've seen that honestly surprised me. When Leatherface goes full on into poor Franklin, and you DOVE OUT OF THE WAY, girl, I just applauded. You just won a new fan. DOKTOR G'HUL APPROVES. Now, I know you had a bad reaction to this, but do you think, after a year, that you could manage to watch the sequel made by the same team, TCM 2, uncut? Also directed by Tobe Hooper? Honestly, I'd love to see your reaction to that black comedy. Please.
@harleyjackson37082 жыл бұрын
Fun fact about this movie, the reason Leatherface stops during the forest chase to start cutting down branches is because the actor playing him, in spite of his size, was so fast even through the woods and while carrying a real chainsaw, he was still catching up to Marilyn Burns (Sally). So he stopped to cut away at branches long enough for her to take the lead again.

One of the thing I think also made this film seem so gruesome was that it was an incredibly difficult film shoot for everyone involved. The dinner scene in particular was filmed in the middle of summer in 100 degree weather for over 24 hours. Add to that the lights they had on set and the food and props spoiling in the heat, made it borderline torture. Pretty much everyone in that scene and the crew got sick filming that scene.
