OMFG ITS BEEN SO LONG IM HYPED BABY
Hey
Thank you I wanted you to do this
Maniac kill count?
Leatherface was the OG dead by daylight killer. He was using hooks before hooks were cool
he always runs insidious though, god damn campers
Woampy Joins and noed
And yet has one of the top toxic groups of people who camps survivors... shame.
SpongeBob was the og hook user lmaoo
Be quiet you hook-er hahhahahahhahahahhahahahhaha
Leatherface: firmly grasp it.
(Hammer falls)
Leatherface: firmly grasp it.
(Hammer falls)
Leatherface: *FIRMLY GRASP IT* !!!!!
Would’ve been even better if Leatherface slammed the hammer into his hand
@@herosam1390 oh look at me mister smart guy, with the 25 brain cells..................wait a minute did I just insult myself?!!!!!....... *concerned look*
I was thinking the same thing for that scene
Shoves hammer through Grandpa's hand.
Leatherface: *Sends the hammer straight through the back of his hand*
Grandpa: *Still sleep*
I love Leatherface’s first appearance. There’s no buildup to a “monster,” no tension, no suspenseful music. It just happens. Which in its own beautiful way, makes frightening.
And it ends just as quickly
@@jaelie8398 the slide door shutting seals the deal! No pun intended.
@@jaelie8398 that's another great way the scene works. By the time you're done processing the chaos it's already over.
no music build up, nothing really to indicate these kids were about to become BBQ, even Leatherfaces reveal there was nothing but silence and what you think is a pig squealing that actually turned out to be Leatherface himself, still chills my bones
I really love that. The first kill is so sudden and shocking: easily worth the long wait. They took a similar approach to Franklin's death, which may well be the greatest jump-scare of all time.
Honestly pam had like a 4% chance of pulling herself off the hook and running away
She should've brought a jar of lips for more luck 🙄
Yeah but it was a Insidious Bubba
yeah and she could use Slippery Meat perk
was looking for this quote
Dead by daylight reference
This movie has one of my favorite first kills. It's mid day and the sun is shining, Kirk makes an all too real small stumble and runs directly into the killer. It doesn't just cut away after one blow, we see him get brutally beaten down and then that metal door slides shut. It's so removed from modern jump scare kills and it still strikes a nerve to this day.
Daylight scenes are very disturbing. For instance the scene in "Zodiac" with the couple on the lake mid-day.
This scene is the one and only good thing about this movie.
I am the 1,000th like
Ikr and he got eaten!
The terrifying thing about that scene was the way he starts convulsing before being dragged off and that door closing. Horrific! One of the scariest death scenes of all time
Aw man leatherface is basement camping again. Smh🙄
This is the reference I’ve been looking for, but here’s the real question
Does he have Insidious?
He has the cold blooded perk
@@applebuster yes and franklins and cold blooded
@@wakak4688 yup
Shit, we’re never gonna save that Meg
The semi truck driver running away is absolutely funny as hell
Y’know, sometimes you can see her. Still running through the Texas forests, still running.
@@2006jhzI went to Texas once and I actually saw the truck driver still running 49 years later.
nice pfp
@@dr.doofenshmertz
hes still stuck in texas? surely thought he wouldve made it to atleast arkansas.
You do not need gore to make horror, this is still one of the most insane and brutal horror movies ever made. The whole experience left me feeling pretty crazy afterwards.
Never will it ever be duplicated.
There is a reason for the saying less is more"
Bro this ain’t horror this is just comedy straight at this point.
@@mikaeel_m3243I thought it was unsettling more than scary. I put myself in peoples shoes a lot so being in their spot wouldn’t be something I’d long for. I think the TCM game really shows what they go through.
K?.
I believe you're exaggerating a little bit
i found it really heartwarming that all of genres, the people behind "gross, scary slashers" are the most lovely people
Ikr
So true.
Yes it is very heart warming😊
I'm a huge horror fan and metalhead and I gotta say people in horror and metal are like teddy bears and lovable in person.
2 genres seen as grotesque and horrific with the nicest people.
@@metal882 Slayer!!!
The scene with Pam on the meat hook might be the scariest thing after the dinner scene. A hook in your back as you watch a mad man butcher your boyfriend, knowing you're next.
Im a very empathetic person so I feel that hook every time i see the movie
Yep
Dead by dead light be like
Scariest for me is the first kill when he whacks the guy with a hammer and he starts convulsing. Damn that was fucked up
You think that’s bad, go play dead by daylight
Fun fact: The scene where Leatherface cuts Sally's finger is 100% real as they couldn't get the fake blood to work and many other actors described working on the film as an absolute nightmare.
W- what
It was her idea too
I mean, I can imagine. Filming in Texas summer, getting injuries because of low budget, with some people method acting absolute crazies and bastards. Doesn't seem like a great time lmao.
NO WAY
The whole movie was actually 100% real!
I decided to watch this because I’ve been OBSESSED with the Texas Chainsaw game. I’m honestly impressed with how much this movie influenced the game. Like literally THIS movie. Lmao.
Probably because the game is based on it
Oh yeah it’s because the creators of that game only have the rights to this movie specifically, hopefully soon they’ll get more rights and more stuff can be added to the game
The game only has the rights to the original movie
right its so sick!
I heard that they only got the rights to the first movie which is why the game is mostly based on it.
That final scene wasn't Sally's glee. It was her driven insane. No one actually survives this movie. Sally remains alive but she is never the same.
Yes ,I think it's pure hysteria. And she's going to have to live with leaving the truck driver to die, although she didn't have a lot of options.
Both
@@parisgreen4600 But she doesn't know what happened to him.
@@magmamouse7270 well, I dont think he survived

@@swampmonstersquibby2563 understandable have a great day
Fun fact: You cant just start up a semi truck, theres a short order of operations when doing so and the time it would have taken them to start it was seconds they couldnt afford. Thats why they didnt just start it and drive off.
something i just realized watching this (again) is that Leatherface steals Pam's bracelet.
When you look at Pam's wrist at 10:31, she has a bracelet on her right hand with bells on it. Later at 11:13 when she pops out of the freezer, its gone. A moment later at 11:26, you can see it on Leatherface's left wrist.
Leatherface dancing with the chainsaw at the end is my favorite part.
RIP Gunnar Hansen. Long live Leatherface!
SharksRule86 RIP to u guys last playoff game Lmao. what a game tho
Sometimes, I forget Gunnar is gone -- then I see him dancing with the chainsaw and think that's probably what he's doing in heaven right now... :p
SharksRule86 Blues are better
It may be weird but i thought it was kinda cute
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😔
I like how when someone screams leatherface screams back.
Kinda like sloth from the goonies
@@jakepalma4891 no, this movie came out well before The Goonies
@@JuicySteen I know. I never said it didn’t.
@@jakepalma4891 you saying “like Sloth from the goonies” infers that leatherface could have gotten it from Sloth, which is impossible since the release dates are 11 years apart
@@JuicySteen No it doesn’t. You are making it something it’s not. If I wanted to say they copied the goonies, which it wasn’t, I would’ve said it.
The sickening sound Sally makes when she hits the ground after jumping out of the window is perfection. What a masterpiece.
Everyone who revisited this for the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre game, you are a legend.
Thank you, you’re handsome as well.
@@NA-AN Thanks. I don't receive compliments that often, so you've just made my day.
Thank you, it’s crazy being a “born-in-2002 guy” that likes classic films a lot than most of 2010s - 2020s films
@@LuistationChannel Facts, I didn't realize someone else felt the same way.
Fun Fact: The reason why gore is so limited is because Tobe Hooper actually wanted a PG rating believe or not but after getting the X rating multiple times he gave up and accepted the R rating
Pg? Lmao
I think Jaws is honestly a more violent film than this, and that got PG, but the idea of cannibalism and human taxidermy, along with the mental torture of the main character probably made the MPAA give it an R.
John Corr also violence like that back then was a lot more shocking.
@HS Melvin Lopez back then they didn’t have PG-13 so it was PG or R
PG? They’re joking right
The shot where leather face grabs pam like a toddler and her arms and legs are just flailing in the air is so iconic and terrifying. Like imagine being picked up by a giant psychopath like a child and being dragged to your doom with no escape apparently in reach. *chills*
i love women people are scared
@@Death.Died0 you love women and people who are scared? Well alrighty
@Mia
People are afraid of his love for women?
@@kingayy9267 LMAO that too
Picking her up out of her shoes is so horrifying to me, like you said there's just NOTHING you can do there
I’m a psychosis patient. Someone who deals with hallucinations and delusions on a daily basis. Though some are as simple as hearing a knock on the door, some can cause me to spiral out of control, with manic mood swings, paranoia and sleep deprivation. This however never causes me to cause harm to someone else, and I used to implode instead of explode.
I’m glad you spoke about the idea that mental health suffering humans are more likely to implode and be a victim, rather than explode as a perpetrator. It’s something pretty rare in films. If someone saw my symptoms on paper, they’d probably be at least a little afraid to be left alone with me due to the media representation, even though I’m not a danger to others and have never been deemed as such.
I didn't think Franklin was annoying though and had a justified reaction. If the other characters were whinier they would've left. I would whine too if I got my arm sliced when I said don't let that guy in the van, my friends abandoned me, no one listened to me or trust my advice, etc. He probably would've survived more than Sally if he wasn't in a wheelchair since he knew something was off.
Totally agree! Frank was justified in the way he was asking!

i remember watching this movie for the very first time and the dinner scene felt like it lasted over an hour. i wasn’t scared at all watching this movie, but i couldn’t sit still when i was watching it. the suspense and unsettling nature made me think about it for days. fantastic movie
This is without a doubt my favorite horror film. I absolutely adore the camera work, the creepiness, how the reveal for Leatherface was done, the snapshots in the beginning, just literally everything
I want them to make a film about the truck driver where he’s just going about his business for an hour and fifteen minutes and in the last fifteen minutes it’s just the end of this film.
if they dont i sue 😡
Let’s be honest, that trucker was the only character worth rooting for in this film, how many people get to say they whacked some chainsaw wielding maniac upside the head with a wrench
Welp thats my end of year student film project now
Indy Weniger can i watch it
Imagine if he was a freakin serial killer
Year 1 Friday the 13th

more like year 2 halloween
Dont forget about Leprechaun :)
Anyone else watch this because of the Game and realize how accurate everything is in the movie
If you didn’t know the collection in the game gives you behind the scenes photos from the movie you can find it in progression and then unlockables
Don't you mean how accurate everything is in the game?
9:51 fun fact, Robert Burns is also a famous Scottish Poet and made very popular poems including “Auld Lang Syne” that is sang on New Years around the world. He is celebrated by eating Haggis on the 25 of January (his birthday) and sing some of his poems to remember the legend he was
huh, didn’t know he could time travel
@@adamj1367 yes all we scottish people can
Not related but I can play auld layne sung on piano
As someone in the mental health field, I appreciate that it was pointed out that most people with mental health concerns are more likely to be the victims of violence than the perpetrators. This is one of the most difficult parts of horror movie tropes.
That’s why we all sympathize with Jason👍
@@Notawarriorsfan Jason is honestly the single least infantalized developmentally disabled character in all of cinema. Yeah the fact that he's violent does fall into stereotypes but there's a big difference between violence that's meant to cause fear and disgust and violence that's meant to make you go "Hell yeah! You go Jason!"
It is a movie mate
@@morganalabeille5004 It also helps that he turns into a supernatural indestructable murder zombie at some point, so the franchise is more openly divorced from reality than most of Halloween or the Texas Chainsaw films for example.
@@katinasvenska What exacly is your point? Movies, and more broadly media in general, can still greatly affect how their audiences view certain thing.
10:32 WHY IS SHE ATTEMPTING TO ESCAPE! SHE ONLY HAS A 4% CHANCE!!!
I would rather risk the 4% chance and maybe escape then wait which would be a 100% chance of death
She has deliverance

lol nice dbd reference
@@doc.4549 same
Who else revisiting because you can't get enough of the TCM game 😂
It’s so good, the movie and the game😂
Haha😂
Me lol I love the game so much
Rs😂
Me lol
As amazing as these films are, I really do find them heartbreaking to watch. I’m usually not disturbed by horror movies, but seeing someone with a severe mental disability taken advantage of and abused really gets to me. It’s evident he doesn’t even know right from wrong; I don’t see him as the villain, but rather his family. Not a huge fan of Texas Chainsaw 3D, but the ending was pretty satisfying.
yeah i feel like they should explore that idea of leatherface being taken advantage of more in the sequels
I know this comment is old now but if you see this you may enjoy this: me and my dad happened to watch this right after watching the satirical Tucker and Dale VS Evil, which portrays that the stereotypical hillbilly serial killers are actually just innocent dudes getting into accidents and are very nice dudes.
So when we watched this we were LAUGHING our asses off cuz with that frame of mind, we were like “this movie is about a mentally challenged man with an artistic hobby removing home invaders!”
@@AbnAngelo7677 LOL I’ve never seen that before, I’ve got to watch it
@@lateforthesky151 it’s very good! And the timing of watching it just before watching a movie where every victim is breaking and entering this dudes house could not have been more fitting!
Leatherface is a pure villian. An absolute monster..a no mercy killing machine who clearly takes pleasure in torture and murder. He treats his human victims like cattle. With all that being said. His brothers are despicable. Nubbins loves dead things, carcasses and he loves slicing his victims so they slowly die. Cook is a paranoid schizophrenic psychopath. Mental illness runs RAMPANT within the Sawyer clan. But not just mentall illness. Psychopathy, necrophilia, cannibalism, murder etc.
Imo the only Horror family that rivals the Sawyers and may be even worse are the Firefly's. Both despicable but to me Firefly's are even more evil. Cause there's not much sign of mental illness within the firefly's. Just pure evil.
The first kill was so good imo. The way Kirk squirms around is as realistic as horror could get. The first swing most likely caved his skull and caused brain damage, which caused every nerve and muscle to twitch uncontrollably
That is disturbing
This movie upon it’s released it was banned in Australia until the mid 80s
And the fact it directly links to how cows are killed mentioned in the beginning
100%. The way he spins around, pauses, and then starts spasming is horrifying. And then of course the door slam. Most realistic looking kill I've ever seen. It looks like a documentary.
The only way it could be more realistic is if his body went stiff and his hands bent down while his body is twitching
Fun fact: Gunnar Hansen didn't want the actors to see him dressed as Leatherface until each actors scenes were shot so they would give genuine reactions to seeing him for the first time
They did that in IT with pennywise and the kids
@@user-gq8zi7qz4u Yep that’s true
Gotta love that old boy
Jerry's scream 😂😂😂
Like Andy Muschetti (idk how to spell it) from IT!
Currently bingeing the TCM kill counts in anticipation of the game that’s coming out in 40 minutes
The pig squealing is actually Leatherface's breathing sound in Dead By Daylight now, where he's voiced by the game's creator like the other villains usually are. Honestly, he did a REALLY good impression of the Leatherface pig squeal!
Fun fact: did you know that the creators of the movie actually hid leather face from the cast to get a real reaction out of them, which means it was the first time any of the cast seen him.
Edit: If you watch their faces they are genuinely terrified.
That's why Jerry's death cracks me up.
Potterhead731 It apparently cracked up Leatherface’s actor too bc after Jerry genuinely let out that scream, his actor had to take a break for like 15 minutes bc he was laughing so hard
@@MaggsterRocks13 That makes me crack up even more
It's like how the cast of Scream weren't allowed to meet Roger L Jackson who did the Ghostface voice so they'd have more realistic scared reactions to the phone calls.
Kinda like the alien poppin out of the chest in Alien
Leatherface: **hangs Pam up**
My Brain, automatically: **Dead by Daylight hooking noise**
Yes
And oddly a Kate scream I feel like she’d sound like Kate
@@Jlsphobia yea I heard that Kate was originally going to be the survivor that came with letherface but they didn’t get the license for what I’m guessing was Pam as the survivor since they got similar looks
@@imajsstove2907 yea I hearD that too
Head on
As someone who advocates strongly (and has done full scale projects in my community) against the stigma of mental illnesses I sincerely appreciate the reminder you gave about people with illnesses or disorders. More often than not stigma harms those with illnesses and it leads to assumptions that anyone with a disorder or illness is violent.
Just as James said, they are more often victims than perpetrator.
Thank you for saying that! I know you won't see this but I love to see people reminding others not to stigmatize.
"they are more often victims than the perpetrator." Yet schizophrenics are still more likely to be violent. I hate these sort of phrases that try to change contexts.
@@dtoadq not true
While there have been recorded cases of schizophrenics being violent, I personally know some schizophrenics and have done extensive research on this subject. I know that doesn't mean much on the Internet, however the fact remains that schizophrenics are heavily stigmatized of being violent.
Perhaps unmedicated and untreated, they *can* be violent, but in normal circumstances they often are not.
I get what you're saying, but feeding into the stigma that they are prone to violence is just as bad.
@@commanderweebsterz ; We are talking about unmedicated schizophrenics (or other psychosis), specifically when they are in a manic or psychotic state. They can be unpredictable and aggressive when they are unmedicated, but return to normalcy when they get meds. There are obviously many cases of this happening, I even know of/are related to several who were extremely violent for years when they were off meds. These obviously don't make the significant portion of those with psychosis, but the portion that do can be *terrifying*, so it makes sense to use them as a model for horror movie villains.
Anyways, my point really is that I don't like when truth/reality is buried by presenting 'alternative contexts'. It's like, two things can be true and not contradict each other, but to present one to discredit the other, it just doesn't sit well with me at all.
I love how leatherface (the cannibal/bubba) just puts pam on a hook this just gives me dbd vibes 10:25
as a texan i can confirm this happens daily
Umm im not goin there then lol
It happens and I’m in texas
@@lovinpitbull8190 wait what happens? I’m confused cause im in texas rn
@@ightjai because my friend was going to his appointment to get shots and he came back and said there was a van outside a house with three detectives and caution tape that all he told me
Because murders happen frequently but rarely
So, three hammer kills, one freezer kill, and one chainsaw kill?
This is if anything the Texas Hammer Massacre.
The movie is 47 years old,stop complaining
@@recruit7416 no he got a point
For those who are good at math/science and estimation. Analyze the hammer kills on the basis of estimated force, impulse, momentum, and impact parameter.
I tried several attempts but all my values have been wrong. I estimated the hammer weighed 2.6 kg. I think my final velocity for the hammer and my estimating how much torque Leatherface applies to the hammers is what is preventing me from getting any part of the problem correct.
@@nicholasstarcher3460 What?
The chainsaw is more of a concept. How could we know they didn't kill more people with a chainsaw? I also like to believe that leatherface rarely used it to kill people(unless he was in full panic mode) and usually just used it to dispose of the bodies easier.
As a Texan,I can confirm this exact story plays out daily in the summer

Can you believe the makers of the film were aiming for a PG rating?

@@2STARSXO PG in the United States is bit different than in Europe.
They wanted more people to see it, since it provided social commentary.
No, PG 13 didn't exist at the time.

Is no one gonna talk about how James treats Leatherface like a child? And sympathise with him? Because it's really adorable
I mean, Leatherface does have the mentality of a child.
*_HE BABIE_*
Mentally that's what Leatherface is. He gets scared when Sally's friends keep coming into the Sawyer house like a kid would if a stranger walked into their house.
@@Xehanort10 I think Leatherface is the only real not evil slasher like he's basically a scared child trying to do his best for his older brothers (one who has been shown to hit and yell at him) and to make them proud of him. He's just probably really confused and if he was taken away and given the proper treatment he could be a harmless person.
@@thatreallyweirdthing3285 look at the dbd leatherface wiki origin story. I think that sums it up best.
12:36 Almost 50 years since this movie was released on theaters and this shot, this angle, the flashlight illuminating Leatherface while doing his brutal kill makes it iconically scary to this day.
7:42 That damn face lamp is burned into my mind. The set design for this movie was amazingly haunting.
“But everybody knows that broomstick beats knife” possibly my favorite line ever!

Dont woryy. Unlike morshu. His audience gives credit
good guy james
Aw that’s nice
He is what he wants us to be he is "good people"
Well it’s the point of the whole franchise, showing how mentally challenged Leatherface was forced to kill people. He never saw anything wrong about it because that’s how his brothers and grandpa raised him.
"The Texas Chain Saw Massacre"(1974) is a slasher thriller movie masterpiece! The brutality and the degeneration all over the greatness!
My favorite part of this movie is the chainsaw dance at the end
It’s a pretty iconic scene
Yea they even added it to the game! It’s great 😂
Fun Fact: Gunner Hanson who played Leatherface created the dance himself. The original ending was suppose to have him stomp his feet but when the filming was coming to and end, he swung the chainsaw around for fun and even Tobe Hooper liked that idea of him swinging it. So he let him do it in the final scene.
Fun fact:we didnt ask
@@professionaleejit5927 fun fact: no one likes an edgy douchebag

CRIS CROSS
Love how James is not afraid to say when a movie isn’t not good.
Legend has it that truck driver is still running to this day.
It's weird how the final scene has become known as "the dinner scene", when it's never said in the movie that it's dinner. Given the time of day when Sally leaves the house, it's more likely it's breakfast.
If it was dinner, it should be called “the last supper”
Yella Dart that is a very good point
The implication is that she was tortured and tormented all night, and it was morning by the time she escaped.
Also it never indicates they are eating human flesh.
@@isidroguevara4120 it's pretty easy to assume that though
Can’t imagine the smell of that house of it was real, rotting corpses
Now imagine the smell of that house during a Texas summer
And the fact they couldnt wash gunner Hanson's leatherface costume so it had weeks of his body odor from heat wave texas weather soaked in
Nah. they had Febreze.
look up "Ed Gien" thats who this movie is based off of! :D
@Joe Bosco Yeah, heat and humidity tend to rapidly accelerate the rate of decay
15:57 All he needed was teenager blood and he turns into the six flags Guy. The Sawyer bus is coming and everybody's jumping 🎶🎶🎶😭😭😭
Leatherface was such a great invention by itself that the whole movie wouldn't be the same without him. Best horror character ever by far.
That scene with Pam is absolutely horrifying. As if being impaled by a meathook isn't bad enough, she gets to watch Leatherface carve up her boyfriend with a chainsaw, and sees exactly whats going to happen to her.
Shit gives me shivers every time 😖
The fact that you can’t see the damage makes it scarier
I just watched it for the first time and almost threw up during that scene
@@Miss98Bumble Saw that scene yesterday I am traumatized for life. Couldn't sleep yesterday either.
It’s just like dbd bubbas put a person on a hook and wait until they die
@@Joeyk354 That was my First thought too, the first time I saw this I thought: "Hey this just like dbd, a Leatherface get's a first hook and than just proxycamps..."
One of the reasons I love this channel is because of moments like at 5:59. James is such a diehard horror fan but so often takes the time to step back and acknowledge times when the genre splits from real life in ways that might be problematic or reinforce harmful conventions.
Yeah it takes a real fan of some thing to acknowledge the problems within it
I think I was about 4 or 5 when I saw this movie as my teenage brothers were babysitting me while watching this with some friends. I have never forgotten that “Hit her, Grandpa!” scene ever since lol.
I love how well written the movie is, especially for an early group! Pretty inspiring
Is none gonna talk about how pretty sallies eyes are? They are like a turquoise seafoam green!
seafoam is white
@@darkmoor8076 Google seafoam green. It is like a shade of mint
Darkmoor that’s why she said turquoise seafoam
You cute too, do you have insta?
@@Dubadubadu123 thats sick dude
God, James voicing Leatherface as just being real tired of these kids breaking into his house kills me, I love scary horror people acting like normal people. It's the same energy as Pennywise from the newer IT adaption being out of character but in full costume
So true: this was a home invasion movie, and Leatherface was trying to defend his home!
@@ravigahlla "These darn kids, trompin' around on my property - How am I supposed to run a family business like this? I'm gettin' too old for it!"
Sally is THE og final girl. She was smart too, she reminded me of the girl from you're next.
@@strangeandinteresting just hope that in They Talk, Chelsea voices Bubba because she loves him and she would be perfect
I love where James is now but man is great to come back and enjoy these classic counts from time to time
That truck driver is one of the greatest heroes in the history of horror.
And we know so little...
(Also its possible the truck stalled while parked, older ones did that really easy.)
James: “Unless you’re a big fan of taxidermy-”
Me: “in that case show off more of the inside”
I really want him to do 28 days later
Storyline aside, the cinematography in this movie is just eyegasmic.
Ugh yes!! The lighting and color-play is amazing
True, it’s amazing
I will say the cinematography in this film is outstanding. I can feel the heat of the hot summer Texas sun pulsating through every frame
So I got to meet Edwin Neal at Pensacon in 2021 and he was the coolest dude there!! I listened to him tell me everything they did with awe, and I'm glad he's still always excited to tell people what they did. He said "I'd rather be back in Nam than ever film that again" due to the final table scene. All that black paper in the room, I couldn't imagine how hot it was.
And also one of the scariest movies I'd ever seen when I was 17. I'm not easily phased, but that first kill and then the other chic trying to escape put the fear of God in me.
Imagine a guy walking up to you and being like "Can I look for animal bones in your yard? I need props for a movie about cannibals."
Youd be surprised how chill people are about stuff like that
You get rid of the bones and they make cool stuff out of it, I would accept too
Ed Gein was still alive when this came out, guys.....
😬😳
Surely he’s dead to this day
Oh shit ur right
TorgieBride85 no 64
TorgieBride85 I don’t know
Who else is here after the game came out
Me
I will never get bored of you finding a way to sneak Billy Madison quotes into these kill counts. Never.
Leatherface: lets Pam get away
Entity: Am I a joke to you?
PolySypher dead by daylight reference, wow
10/10 great job.
PolySypher nice meme
Entity Displeased
"I think we did pretty good job so far"
I’d argue leather face is actually just a super nice guy who just so happens to be not all there mentally and is scared to disobey his elders
Agreed. It is hard not to see him as a dude bullied by his family
Yeah I mean he did spare his "girlfriend" in the 3D movie so its his family who's making him do this if you think about it
In a normal family he might have turned out OK. The 2 biggest monsters in the Sawyer family are Grandpa and Drayton.
@@Piper331 the second one too, but the second one is a good movie
Yeah that's just canon. His Dead by Daylight bio is all about how his main motivation is fear of disappointing his abusive family
17:44 Hitchhiker Nubbins is easily the most eerie character in the film.
Although the lighting help made that Pam scene a success, I also think technocolor might of been the final touch that the other Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies lack when they tried to recreate it. Because in one they had the right lighting but it still didn't come close to the Pam shot.
“Two dollars! I-it’s a good picher!”
I sympathize to easily, because that was the cutest thing I’ve ever heard
No that's not cute...
I love Sally Hardesty I legitimately just said I sympathize too easily and I said “I’ve” ever heard. Also how the hell do you like this channel with that name and profile pic. And another thing! You’re just wrong!
AAAAAW, yea i agree ❤️❤️❤️💖💖♥️💕💕💞💞🌋🌋🔥🔥😭😍😍
I would buy that picture tbh
@Christopher Marlowe oh yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah
Idk why but I just hope the truck driver survived just because he seemed so innocent and didn’t need to get involved with that madness
In one of the conventions James went to recently, he met the semi truck actor himself and he said that his character ran to the sheriff who was working with the Sawyers and as he said "They told me to either join the club or get in the pot and I chose to join the club". He even played 1 of the chili judges in TCM2, the one holding the triangle the lady rings before announcing Drayton as the winner, so he was a ringer for them to win the contest lmao.
Crazy to know all that 40+ years after the fact
Infinity Hand I did not know that, I don’t know a lot about tcm
@@hecdawg3844 Which was why I told ya :D
To tell the truth, I adore this black guy. Smart solution, and very effective.
If that's the case, he could be a black dude who actually SURVIVES a horror movie.
I watched this movie for the first time in 2021 and it still holds up so well. I think one of the reasons it's still so scary without the gore comes from the acting especially. In particular the way Pam cries and whimpers while on the meat hook is legitimately chilling and still kinda haunts me.
The greatest horror film! It will continue to be immensely influential!
Kirk's (the first) death is so memorable for me, because it just feels so real. There's no flourish to it or extra gore, just the thud of the hammer that sounds so realistic.
It was the death rattle that got me. Had a short phase where I'd venture to liveleak or read morbid stuff on the internet and the things bodies still do after death is horrifying. Especially if it is sudden.
Fun Fact: That's actually a brutality in Mortal Kombat X.
18:41
Through-out this entire scene I was just saying "Firmly grasp it"
@Daddy Thanos
*Squidward mumbles in pain*
"Better!"
You just made my day XD thank you
@@marcoramirez2005 your welcome, but honestly I would say the same for the people liked my comment. (because it's never this fast)
I have binged through so many kill counts, that I've found myself thinking "huh, I wonder how James would recount this or what interesting trivia he could give" while watching a random (non-horror) movie.
Huge respect to what you're doing. It 100% shows how passionate you are about it
A little over 3 years after this gem came out, still love rewatching it.
I've always found it hilarious that three people walk into a random house for no good reason and Leatherface is just kinda defending his home... Although the chasing out the door and brutalisation probably doesn't count towards the defending...
When I watch this movie I take it as a “don’t ever trust ppl and don’t ever intrude” 😂 you might get lucky and find what you’re looking for but you might piss off a leatherface as well lmao 🤷🏽
texans that take those "don't mess with texas" ads to a whole nother level
Yeah.
i probably think he got angry and decided to lock her in the freezer
From Leatherface's point of view killing Kirk and Jerry was probably self defence but impaling Pam on the meat hook, forcing her to watch him chop up Kirk's body, sticking her in the freezer and killing Franklin when he heard him and Sally shouting for Jerry obviously wasn't. Earlier in the film Drayton tried to warn them because he knew his house was near Sally and Franklin's granddad's house. "You don't wanna go messing around no old house. You don't wanna go messing around other folks property. If some folks don't like it they don't mind showing ya." Basically "Don't go near my house or my little brother Bubba will make you wish you hadn't."
I understand the lore behind the dead by daylight perk: "Franklins Demise" now
Also the hooking in general
Man I hate that perk. I'd prefer if instead of making you drop it, it just makes you lose charges.
@@yourdailydoseofomid3026 its not even especially op or anything lmfao its just so infuriating
I mean, he holds on to the damn thing long enough for it to be in the next movie on his corpse.
Honesty I feel like dbd was suppose to be a Texas chainsaw game(cause the hooks and generator in the first movie). Meh probably a coincidence.
I bought this comic from a convention in my town. It's a non canon comic called loose ends written by and unknown write, it follows what happens to the semi truck driver at the end of the movie. It's not very long but it's pretty cool and the writer also illustrated it and he signed and free handed the cover picture on the blank back cover for me. It's pretty cool even if it's only like 10 pages
