The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

March 17th, 2010 by Steve Evans

For many, one of the best slashing movies ever made was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. While other similar films have been made, Texas Chainsaw has continually stood out above the rest when it comes to scary horror films. Whether it is the thought of a cannibalistic serial killer or the fear of becoming a piece of chainsaw art, this is one movie that definitely remains in the minds of many who have seen it.

While the main murdering character in the movie is somewhat based on a real serial killer, the movie itself is a work of fiction. Creator Tobe Hooper based the main character, Leatherface, on Wisconsin serial killer Ed Gein, who was given credit for several different murders that were committed in the 1950s. He was also reported to have cut up some of his victims and used their bones and body parts for clothing and other items.

For many who have seen this film, the scariness is the fact that this situation could actually happen. Real life serial killers exist and are far scarier than a fictional zombie or alien. For movie fans looking for realistic horror, a movie like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre really sucks them into the movie and gets them thinking about those “what if” situations. While there are many individuals who love movies that contain fictional characters, for many, only realistic horror films with power saws will do.

Many people love to be scared, whether they prefer a crazy person killing teenage girls with his construction tools or a vampire hunting because he is craving blood. Yet for some people, it is the realism in horror flicks that makes the hairs on the back of the neck stand up and the goose bumps to pop up. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was one of those movies. It left many people chilled to the bone as Leatherface terrorized his victims with his power saw. This movie will possibly be one of the most remembered movies, as far as horror films are concerned, of all time.
