spooky tuesday is a (now not so new!) podcast where we’re breaking down all of our favorite slashers, thrillers, monster movies and black comedies on the new scariest day of the week.

how has it taken us this long to cover one of the most influential films in horror history? on our latest episode of spooky tuesday, we're throwing it back to one of the very first final girls with the texas chain saw massacre (1974). the film that both introduced Leatherface to the world and invented the power tool as an instrument of psychological damage, this scary '70s story made a lasting impact on both the culture and hitchhiking crime statistics. but there's more to talk about than just that. despite the torture porn connotations of the franchise at large, the original flick is pretty subtle — and it's absolutely stunning, too.

Eaten Alive (1976) Tobe Hooper's incredibly oddball follow up to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Was actually vibing with its off-kilter, artifice heavy production design / visuals and it's many bizarre performances -- a friend described it as like a super earnest 50's play about the human condition...but with gore and a killer crocodile -- but in the end it suffers from being more or less variations of the same two or three scenes over and over. (That Tobe just straight up drops a less than effective recreation of Chain Saw's final chase into the middle of the third act doesn't help matters.) Still seems like something worth checking out at least once if you're interested into weirdo sleazeball 70's exploitation flicks.

So, recently I’ve been going through a lot of the horror franchises from start to finish and filling in gaps that I may have missed over the years.

One of those is the very much all over the place Texas Chainsaw Massacre series.

I just recently watched the 2017 Leatherface film, which is meant to act as a kind of origin story for Jed/Bubba/Junior Sawyer (all names from the series, btw), and something struck me about the actor that plays young Drayton Sawyer (the Cook in the original film and the first sequel).

Here’s Drayton in Leatherface (2017):

He looks (and sounds) a bit like another actor from the often forgotten, but for my money, most interesting entry in the franchise; Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1995):

This guy would go on to be pretty popular, I’m told.

It really feels like Leatherface (2017) may have just connected the Sawyer family with the Slaughter family by casting a Matthew McConaughey look alike to play young Drayton Sawyer, meaning Vilmer Slaughter could easily be Drayton’s son, making the Slaughter family an off-shoot of the Sawyers (the Next Generation, even?)

Anyway, I’ve been thinking about this since I watched Leatherface and needed to share.

*side note*: I spelled McConaughey right on the first try and am damn pleased with myself

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

I know these words get tossed around often but I mean it when I say The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is one of the scariest films ever made. Even if you don’t agree, its influence on the horror genre is undeniable.

Sally Hardesty (Marilyn Burns), her paraplegic brother Franklin (Paul A. Partain) and their friends Jerry (Allen Danziger), Kirk (William Vail), and Pam (Teri McMinn) are travelling by van through the countryside to visit an old family home. After encountering a disturbed hitchhicker (Edwin Neal), they cross paths with a family of cannibals.

Immediately striking is the picture’s knack for feeling more documentary than fiction. The conversations between the young adults are innane and they speak over each other like normal friends do. Aside from the news-like voice over (by John Larroquette) at the beginning, little about what you see foreshadows what’s coming. When characters die, the violence is brief, almost as if the cameraman is eager to leave the scene of a real-life crime. When the film’s most memorable character, Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen), appears, it’s out of nowhere and shocking. At any point, you’re never quite sure who the main character is and therefore, you never know quite when the picture will end. Similarly, there are no character arcs or typical “film-y” conventions. Many of the most frightening and shocking scenes happen during the day, adding extra credibility to this tale of horror.

These elements combined make this a living nightmare. The violence is often left to your imagination. You see just enough to know you don't want to see more. It’s a nearly overwhelmingly bleak film, particularly when the cannibals overwhelm the heroes and laugh about the fact that they’ve done this before and plan on doing this again. While many horror films play up the morbid humor inherent to a killer picking people off one by one in increasingly gruesome ways, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre piles on the dread relentlessly. A prolonged scene has Sally running from the chainsaw-wielding maniac, screaming at the top of her lungs. It just keeps going and going. You wonder when it’s going to stop because it makes you uncomfortable. But that’s the thing. You’re uncomfortable because you can’t do anything about it and you know, deep down, that no one is coming to save her from those dark woods. It’s traumatizing and gives a double-meaning to the picture’s tagline “Who will survive, and what will be left of them”?

By the time your mind comes to grips with what’s just happened, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has already moved on. You’re never given the footing necessary to recover from what you see. Just thinking about the film's final scene gives me chills. The use of music, the camera work, the lightning, the simple but effective scares and the realistic presentation make this 1974 film still terrifying today. (On Blu-ray, October 26, 2018)

"O massacre da serra elétrica" (the texas chainsaw massacre) - cinema.

Filme original de 1974 em cópia restaurada em cartaz na cidade. Quando terei outra chance de ver esse clássico gore na tela grande? Melhor aproveitar! Vi o esse dos anos 1970 em VHS, na casa de amigos e depois não revi. Em 2003 teve uma refilmagem que vi e curti.

depois de ver: filme continua assustando. o baixo orçamento fica bem claro, mas a direção compensa com criatividade. valeu rever.
