Chain saw confidential : how we made the world's most notorious horror movie
When The Texas Chain Saw Massacre first hit movie screens in 1974 it was considered either "a degrading, senseless misuse of film and time" or "an intelligent, absorbing and deeply disturbing horror film." However it was an immediate hit with audiences. Hansen played the masked, chain-saw-wielding Leatherface. He tells the real story of the making of the film, its release, and reception, offering unknown behind-the-scenes details, a harrowingly entertaining account of the adventures of low-budget filmmaking, illuminating insights on the film's enduring and influential place in the horror genre and our culture, and a thoughtful meditation on why we love to be scared in the first place.
