Episode 37 - Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the hitchhikers guide to a meal...

Join us for an in depth discussion and analysis of the 1974 slasher orginal, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Directed by Tobe Hooper
Starring: Marilyn Burns, Gunnar Hansen, Paul A. Partain, Terri McMinn, Edwin Neal, & Jim Siedow.

July is Cannibals Month, our second film for this month is definitely one of the first films you think about when someone mentions slashers. It's iconic tropes and gritty backwoods style influenced a decade of slasher films that are still prevalent today.

**Trigger Warning** - This month's theme will contain discussions of graphic scenes.

*Spoiler Alert* -  Full synopsis and behind the scenes morcels included.

Scare-o-meter Ratings:
Tasha - 5.5 skulls
Julia - 6 skulls

Consensus: Although incredibly low budget, this film really was unique and gritty for it's time. The running time is only 1 hour 23 min, but you get your money's worth by the end. Leatherface is an iconic character for a reason and Gunnar Hansen does him justice with his meathod acting and menacing stature. The added cannibalism of this backwoods nightmare certainly helps the atmosphere along.
A must watch for all fans of the Slasher genre!!
