I'm your host, Paul, and this video. we're breaking down The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. So I think this is up there as being one of the most famous films ever made. Even before seeing the movie I knew this films reputation, villain and it was just a massive massive talking point. I didnt actually see it until I was in my 20s but I heard about it ad nauseum. I think for most people even just hearing the word chainsaw will instantly conjure up an image of leatherface. The film is an amazing piece of American cinema and one of the most influential movies ever made.

Imagine being paid $47 for what those actors went through. You would be pissed. You might even snap and go on a chainsaw massacre. Another great breakdown Paul.

I live in Bastrop, Texas where some of this was filmed. The gas station is still there and is a horror film gift shop and a decent BBQ restaurant. They also rent out little cabins in the back. Just recently they have had to take down everything related to this film due to a lawsuit. They had a ton of TCM pieces and merchandise. Used to have the cast come regularly for events, shit like that. The owner is the most knowledgeable individual on this film and many other horror movies I have ever come across. He’s fascinating and creepy. Will talk for hours if not busy. Still a cool place, but it used to be awesome.

I was so scared to go into the country as a kid living in Texas because of this movie. Now I’m the Texan in the country with a chainsaw…

Last House on the Left, had one of my favorite lines, " What do your parents do?" "They're into iron and steel. My Mom irons and my father steals."

The scariest thing was how much they were paid in the end. But this is one of my favourite pieces you've done.

26:03 I love how he thinks its some crazy antique camera when in 1974 a Polaroid camera was cutting edge technology like if you pulled out a Iphone 14 today. Most likely he stole this camera from a recent unfortunate traveler.

45:30 Teri McMinn has the whole story where Pam survives and gets away written completely in posts on her Instagram and Facebook. It's pretty neat.

Jim Dugan the grandpa actor was permanently scared by a chemical attack in Vietnam not from the prosthetics. The scars are mostly around his ears.

Jerry saw Pam and Kirks blanket draped over the porch which made him stop and realize his friends had indeed been there (or are there) so he went back and knocked again.

The real proof of the pudding is that the film isn't actually as graphic as people think it is. They didn't have the budget for super realistic effects, so they used cinematography, sound design, and a whole lot of implication to get viewers' imaginations to do the heavy lifting.
