The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Few horror films have left a mark as deep as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Released in 1974, this gritty masterpiece shocked audiences with its raw, documentary-style terror and introduced the world to one of horror’s most enduring icons: Leatherface. With his chainsaw roaring and grotesque mask in place, Leatherface has become a symbol of pure, unrelenting fear.
Over the decades, the franchise has spawned sequels, prequels, remakes, and even reboots — each carving new ground in the horror landscape. And with each new installment, Leatherface’s legend only grows stronger, cementing the series as one of the cornerstones of slasher cinema. For horror fans, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre isn’t just a movie — it’s a rite of passage.
