TEXANS WATCH THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974) FOR THE FIRST TIME! *REACTION* A CHAINSAW YASSACRE!

[@Melphas]

Apparently Sally's actress was a slow runner so the other actors had to find ways to not keep up with her.

[@MichaelMyers-pj2uk]

Right ! That’s why you see Gunner cutting down trees and stuff when he chasing her cause he could easily catch her in real life.

[@whatsthatmovie1637]

Lmaoo I never knew this but that’s funny

[@uggggggghhhhh]

Lmfao whyd they expose her like that

[@briancordova1299]

Gunnar Hanson said that in the commentary.

[@allaninaet2835]

This didn't make me want to become a vegetarian, but a horror manga with a very similar premise did. It draws a parallel to how animals are sadly fattened up by force just to be killed for our consumption. I saw two pages of that happening to kidnapped humans and I immediately became even more depressed. Just hearing the summary and seeing those two pages made me think about becoming a vegetarian. Tho I'm still on the fence about it because my family lives on meat. I also pray that manga doesn't get an anime because depression levels will spike through the roof more than they already are if it does.

[@jcqlnr464]

Fun fact, you may already know but, this movie was considered a social commentary on the meat industry and the cruelty of it. When you see the close up shots of Sally's eyeballs during the dinner table scene, it was mimicking the fear of the animals knowing they are about to die in the slaughter houses. Also speaking about the infamous dinner table scene..if you didn't know, there was actual rotting flesh in that room and it was filmed during the summer in Texas and the temp was around like 100 in there. The actors would have to leave the room to go outside to throw up.

[@1bwash]

Yeah the chicken in the tiny cage shows it too.

[@paulinegallagher7821]

Holy crap. It is so nauseating its enough to put anyone off meat. Farming is huge in Ireland, its so entrenched in our culture. There are festivals, farming association events, its just everywhere. I hate farmers, they are greedy, apathetic to animal welfare, because they are just products to them. I hate seeing all the baby cows and lambs with tags on their ears; you know whats coming for them. The worst thing is seeing the packed sheep and cattle trucks driving up and down the road in the middle of summer, the heat must be unbearable.

[@samshulman1693]

That dinner scene took 26 hours to film in the scorching heat in an house with no air conditioning- it was nasty and filming the whole film was horrifying in and of itself

[@Alexander-bs5xj]

The scariest scene in this film is when Leatherface reveals himself: so sudden, unexpected, and unsettling. When I first saw this movie the first few times around it was hard for me to watch that scene!

[@Iaminlovewithmyself-mg6tm]

And ugly ofc but yess 🤭

[@TheCryptofHorrors-DerCryptaxis]

I was more awestruck, this movie blew me away the first time I saw it at my 24th birthday party. Everyone else was cowering when franklin got chainsawed but I stood out of my seat and "YEAH! FUCK HIM UP!!!" It really impressed me and got me interested in horror before I started my modern collection

[@BetoTheButcher]

Leatherface serving in that "Pretty Woman" mask and make up. This is my favorite horror/slasher flick of all time. 🏳️‍🌈

[@BetoTheButcher]

Sally needed therapy after this movie and a lot of the cast had to work thru super hot Texas temperatures. The house and set started reeking from all the props that were actual animal and human flesh and bones

[@billr3724]

300 pounds of mayhem, armed with a McCulloch and with a strong taste for barbecue. Love Leatherface

[@chrisquinlan6527]

The reason I LOVE this movie is because it doesn't rely on gore gags or jumpscares to get you. It's just...the whole atmosphere. It's almost like watching a snuff film or something like that.

[@coreyrogers8700]

The cinematography, the pacing, the dialog, the acting, and most importantly, the constant sense of dread. It's just a masterpiece.

[@jdogjohnson382]

"The best acting; came from Leatherface and his family Marilyn burns screamed a lot maybe too much, but I think it was realistic given her situation!!!

[@AGETheGawdYT]

There decisions were so bad 😂. But also, it was the 70’s hitchhiking, getting gas at random houses for weed and guitars, small town hospitality was so normal. But the director was like? I’ll show y’all normal 😭

[@mamalannightshyaman]

"leatherface is a gay icon" never thought I'd ever hear that said

[@TheseBitchesWantNikes]

I mean he is a leather daddy.

[@Masky5150]

The OG Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the GOAT! It’s an absolute masterpiece! Even more fascinating is the story of its production. It’s fun to watch newbies experience it’s brilliance for the first time. I often hear “Why does she keep screaming?,” as if watching your brother get killed before your eyes by a chainsaw wielding maniac wouldn’t mess you up, keeping one’s cool would not be an option, come on now lol Also, the gas station worker is the older brother of Leatherface and the hitchhiker (Nubbins). It’s a common misconception that he’s their father, I thought it myself for many years. But later found out he is in fact their older brother, Drayton (the cook). You obviously have excellent taste choosing to watch the OG. Keep those horror reactions coming! Much love!

[@hanabi8698]

I like the second original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Because of the dark comedy and that brother with the plate in his head.

[@Melphas]

The misconception isn't helped by the sequels and comics, although lets "face" it, Drayton could easily be both

[@wolfcloud8735]

Its based on true events... nothing about this movie is a masterpiece... its just straight up fucked up

[@naveendravid7142]

Love that you guys reacted to this. This is my favorite horror movie of all time and is the only movie that can still scare and disturb me on repeat watches. You gotta look up the behind the scenes for this film. By far the most interesting behind the scenes for any movie I've seen

[@M.Babadook]

Leatherface looks so put upon throughout the movie. Having to deal with a bunch of randos breaking into his house.

[@larrystewart1503]

randoes ??????????????????

[@uggggggghhhhh]

Leatherface was just obeying stand your ground laws. Justice for leatherface

[@AtticusFink]

By all accounts, everyone was losing their minds by the end of production. All of the dinner scene was shot in one, long, grueling 16 hour day (supposedly because the actor who played Grandpa didn't want to have to go through the make-up process a second time) during a terrible heatwave with triple digit temperatures, in a house with no ventilation, stinking of sweat and rot from the animal parts on set.

[@uggggggghhhhh]

Tbh the makeup wasnt that good, i feel like an actual old man would be scarier lol

[@evernevermore-ci2so]

This movie has such a great slimy nasty feel to it. I felt like I needed a shower after watching it. I wish I could have seen people's reactions back when it first came out. There weren't many movies like this at the time. Just horrifying and sick.

[@nickbuchanan190]

Sally reacted just like anyone would in this situation...think about it. If you were that traumatized, tortured, and horrified, like you wouldn't act that way?!

[@torpedoboy4]

I love how ill-prepared y’all were for this. I’m from rural Paris, Texas so this film hits home.

[@teresas8173]

This movie was inspired by the serial killer and grave robber of freshly buried corpse’s body parts Ed Gein. He made all sorts of arts and craft from body parts…a belt with nipples, a human skin shade, etc. This was back in the 1950s, I think and in rural Wisconsin, I think. He killed 2 possibly 3 people. He was caught and died in a mental institution years ago. There are many documentaries on him on KZbin.

[@larrystewart1503]

Thank you for the GREAT information !

[@p0ppyfarr95]

The inspiration behind this film came from the life and crimes of a grave-robbing mass murderer Ed Gein. Made a lot of furniture and certain clothing (wigs and chest plates) outta dead people. He died while institutionalised. This 1974 horror flick was not the only fictional work to be inspired by Gein - there was a novel from Robert Bloch called Psycho (the Alfred Hitchcock film and the Bates Motel TV series are based on the novel) and Silence of the Lambs - the sequel to Red Dragon by Thomas Harris (along with the cinematic adaptation by Johnathan Demme). There’s other films within the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise. The best of them are Texas Chainsaw Massacre III and the 2003 remake and its 2006 prequel along with it, the Leatherface family origin film yet a prequel to a remake. Gunnar Hansen’s Leatherface is how you described him to be - chaos and horror personified! He’s so popular that his incarnation of the character did end up in Dead by Daylight. And yes it was a real live chainsaw used. P.S. Leatherface is definitely an LGBTQ icon! WOOOOOO!!!!!

[@kingsofrb3078]

I mean if a person jumps out of a glass window I'm sure it wouldn't be easy to get up right away. I'm sure there would be injuries....

[@Neckromorph]

Loved the reaction. Such a great horror movie. Also fun fact, the man that you thought was Leatherface's dad is actually his older brother. All three of the family members are brothers.

[@davidgagnon3781]

The opening monologue was John Larroquette from "Night Court." His payment was a joint. BTW, Capricorn here.

[@fantaystic7]

Everyone's always so weirded out by the first look at the inside of the house with all the hides on the walls and the mounted skulls, but I'm always like hey nice place still bcs that's what most houses look like in the south when you have family who hunt😭

[@thomasjohnsonwolfbane5494]

Leatherface and his family was inspired by serial killer Ed Gein the ghoul of Plainfield Wisconsin... Each member of the family represents a different aspects of Gein's fractured mental health and disorders and Leatherface is the most like Gein of all and with the 3 masks he wears represents different personalities "Killing mask...old lady mask...and the pretty lady mask" Once Leatherface wears a mask he assumes that personality

[@thomasjohnsonwolfbane5494]

Also the 3 killers are all brothers....the cook is his older brother and nubbins the hitchhiker is his lil brother and then you have grandpa.... Now the killer mask is for when Leatherface hunts and kills...old lady mask is for when he does domestic work like cooking and cleaning and etc... then the pretty lady mask is for when Leatherface is is feeling special and trying to look his best

[@chrisgrove7829]

This film really captures the Texas summertime humidity without AC. It was definitely filmed in its total authenticity:)

[@billybobtexas]

PREMONITION TIME: “You’re dying first…” 😮😮😮

[@DCFCfanatic]

The girl placed on the hook was actually in pain while filming they had her wearing a harness that caused her a ton of pain. So that pain she's showing in the movie is actually real. Something else that was real were all the skulls and bones. They didn't use anything fake for the human and animal bones as well as the teeth. The dead armadillo at the start of the film was also real. the food on the table as well as the decorations on the table of the chicken and it's legs were real and started to rot during the entire time they filmed. people were getting sick the whole time the movie was being filmed. During the dinner scene, Sally's finger was actually cut by Gunnar Hanson (Leatherface). He got carried away. Catering also did some pot brownies and some of the cast and crew ate them by accident including Leatherface. As LF comes through the door after cutting it, he scared a crew member that was to his left, off screen. the crew member was also high. LF was also high during that scene and he got confused when he saw the crew member run away. notice he looks to his left as he comes into the house. LF had kind of forgotten where he was for a second, then remembered and continued to chase. Many chickens died due to being locked up in that small cage. Turns out that when chicken is in a very confined space for way too long they get heart attacks. Also they are all brothers, the Cook aka Drayton Sawyer is not the dad, he is the oldest brother.

[@faithandeg12]

Don't make fun of her getting hit with the broom, cause those things HURT. The actress was really being hit and it left bruises. She went through hell on that set. I get it though. On screen it looks silly but in real life, it really hurts like a mofo.

Very loosely based on Ed Gien “The Butcher of Plainfield” he was a serial grave robber and he murdered at least two people. When he was arrested the authorities found a house of horrors. Bowls made of skulls a lampshade made of skin and furniture made of bones and skin. He also made himself a “woman suit”

This movie is the absolute template for rural isolated horror with a crazy family in a horror house! If you two want a fun weird, crazy good time, check out Texas chainsaw massacre Part 2.
