During the month of October, during the Halloween season, I have put together a series of the most terrifying horror Halloween movies, where you will hear about the creepy monsters all wearing their iconic masks that hunt you in your nightmares. This is the first story.   *** The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a 1974 American horror film produced, co-composed, and directed by Tobe Hooper, and it was released in the United States on October 11, 1974. While the film initially received mixed reception from critics, it was highly profitable, and it has since gained a reputation as one of the best and most influential horror films. It is credited with originating several elements common in the slasher genre, including the use of power tools as murder weapons, the characterization of the killer as a large, hulking, masked figure, and the killing of victims. The plot follows five friends who head out to rural Texas to visit the grave of their grandfather and fall victim to a family of cannibals. On the way they stumble across what appears to be a deserted house, only to discover something sinister within. Something armed with a chainsaw. The film was marketed as being based on true events to attract a wider audience and act as a subtle commentary on the era's political climate. Although the character of Leatherface and minor story details were inspired by the crimes of murderer Ed Gein, its plot is largely fictional.
