You guys didn't watch it with eyes from the time it came from. Times were very different. No Internet which means things like this didn't get around so easily. People trusted people more back in those days. We say how dumb these characters are but that's because we know better because of these experiences people had back in those days.
Very true. Also no cell phones or roadside assistance. Thus it was not uncommon back in the 1970s for stranded travelers to go to a stranger's home looking for help. That said, there were major red flags that were blatantly ignored i.e. the graveyard of cars on the property and the tooth on the front porch.
It's always surprising how many reactors seem to think Jerry escaped, I mean, there was no surviving that blow to the head. Leatherface was just running around confused about all these strangers coming in the house.
I notice the same thing. Almost everyone I watch thinks he escaped somehow. Don't know how people think he escaped that crack to the skull with the sledge. The way Jerry screamed and fell to the ground was so genuine.
Jerry got hit in the head and was laying on the floor... Leatherface was running around because he was trying to figure out where the hell everybody was coming from, then sits down in frustration
I read that Leatherface was supposed to be, well, low-IQ; that's why he just killed people out of instinct instead of "hunting" them like other movie killers
Those types of trucks take time to start up, so them leaving to run away makes total sense. The Cook is actually the Hitchhiker and Leatherface's older brother, you find this out in the sequel.
Jerry died when Leatherface crushed his skull with a mallet. Case closed. TCM was very loosely based on real life Wisconsin killer Ed Gein who robbed graves, killed at least 2 women, wore their skin and used the skin from their faces as lampshades. That's where the similarities end. I saw this for the first time at 9 years old and it gave me nightmares for years afterwards.
Made for about $150,00 and made at least $30 million at the box office and launched a franchise. Beautiful cinematography and elite writing should never cost extra. After all these years, this is still a perfect model for film students for how to make your first movie. U2 did a great job of editing on this video.
The 70's were just like this movie when it came to trusting people. Very different times compared to now. This by far one of the best horror movies ever made for it's time and it still holds up today. Not supposed to be a comedy but there is a lot of dark humor applied by Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel.
18 wheelers don't just start and go at the drop of a hat. Sally did everything right in trying to escape that place. Straw brooms back then were made of solid wood, thick course straw, string and metal coils. Easily knock a person out. Pam in the house...real time probably looked around the room for a couple of seconds. Movie time had to show you all the horror. Jerry sees Pam in the freezer. Leatherface comes in and smashes his skull with a mallet. He's dead. It's all right there on screen. You need to be in a different mindset when watching older movies. They are big on characters, suspense, the slow burn and not showing everything...some things you have to figure out on your own. And these films are the first of their kind....all future films took ideas from these and adjusts to the changes in film, censorship and society over the years.
You guys don't understand a lot about this movie and the time in which it was made. Not your fault, you're young and you grew up watching films with more horror and gore...and sensationalism. but not, not better storying telling.
i think younger people who grew up only in the internet age! Don’t understand this certain point and time within America history (The free love of the 60’s decayed and the 1970’s was the aftermath between Gas shortage, Vietnam War , Charles Manson) Horror was very “safe” and more silly and fantasy (Then you had a modern boom with Psycho, Night of the Living Dead, The Exorcist & Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Each one of these films changed Horror on every level) it’s debatable that Tx Chainsaw Massacre is the prototype of what the slasher genre would be but, it’s very effective (All the victims are thin because there only purpose is to be killed off once Sally is alone the film itself takes a much darker psychological turn (Plus it’s one of the first real indie films) The budget was nothing compared to what Hollywood was pumping out at the time and it’s more effective!
"I feel like no one is going to make it out alive" what a prediction LOL.... meanwhile everyone is dead and the last girl is being chased by leatherface
There is intentional humor in the movie (“Look what your brother did to the door!”), but the kids aren’t that dumb (except maybe Kirk). All but the first victim went into the house out of fear for a boyfriend or girlfriend. Also keep in mind: we’ve all been raised on the horror tropes that are relatively new to this movie, so we’ve been sensitized by the media we consume to the grisly red flags… these kids wouldn’t have been. And in most of the cases where a character doesn’t react as quickly as we assume we would, it’s because they’re in shock. But I loved your reaction! And I don’t criticize based on generational differences in perception! Especially if you’re watching something made well before you were born, you’re showing an intellectual curiosity that should be encouraged in all of us regardless of age. I first saw the movie in 1980 in the basement rec room of my college dormitory… with a large crowd of my peers. But I remember the TV ads for the movie when it was first released and I desperately wanted to see it… but I didn’t even bother to ask. At age 13, I was allowed to see some R rated movies, but nothing this extreme (my parents had already nixed The Exorcist for me 😉).
Wanna know what happened to Jerry? That was his hair that Leatherface was wearing as a wig at the end! Look closely! Probably was also him and the other friends who they put on Sally's plate in front of her.
Everyone always comments on the 18-wheeler scene. It has an old air starter that takes time to start. Second this scene goes hand in hand with the gas station scene. In 1973 there was a gas crisis which fuel was not as plentiful. So shutting it down after immedately hitting someone makes total sense on conserving fuel.
You watched Jerry die…watched the MF die. Also, semi trucks don’t just start up like Toyotas. AND the truck driver pulled Sally into the truck which means he was on the passenger’s side when Leatherface attacked. No way he could’ve restarted the truck to drive away. And yes, Sally and Franklin are siblings ( just like it said at the beginning of the film).
Trucks like that would have taken at least 1 minute or so to restart the truck and slowly start driving away....Leatherface could have done the tires, etc. by the time they got away. They were lovin`-hippies.
I really enjoyed your reactions to this movie. I was around eight years old when I first saw this movie. I remember being inside my bed play tent in the living room, viewing it. I had nightmares for weeks!!!. Consider doing a reaction video for the Albert Fish documentary. I can send you the TH-cam video link if you like? Have a good one.
Check out the movies The Texas Chainsaw Massacre(2003)(Remake), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning(2006)(Prequel to 2003 version), Texas Chainsaw(2013)(Sequel to the 1974 version), Texas Chainsaw Massacre(2022)(Sequel to the 1974 version), Halloween(1978), Halloween ll(1981), Scream(1996), A Nightmare on Elm Street(1984), and The Exorcist(1973).
Yes this is true, leatherface was actually real and did some of the things that were shown in the movies 💯 and another fun fact the house is also real and some people can go look at it on halloween
Leatherface was loosely based on the serial killer Ed Gein. This whole movie ultimately not based on a true story. The house is a bed and breakfast today. It's open all year long. It's a nice looking place, nothing scary about it. There are some videos on youtube of people going inside it when it was abandoned, before it was turned into a b&b. It's no longer in the same location.
Real Ed Gein - inspired the character known as leather because he crafted a skin suit including face mask made out of old lady corpse remains that he would wear and dance around outside in. The house was inspired by Ed's house where he had furniture and cutlery made out of human remains. Example: belt made of human nipples, lamp shade made of human flesh, bowl made out of a human skull None of the people murdered in this movie character wise had anthing to do with Ed. He murdered only 2 people. 2 elderly women. Leather faces brother was also inspired by Ed, because of the grave robbing. The furniture he made was taken from graveyard corpses.

Humans can be the worst monsters. Side note. Sally took a actual BEATING during the making of this movie in one of the scenes and the slicing her fingers was real.

@@BobbyMoore2-mp8wb didn’t even know they had that lol
No, it's not a true story. It's loosely based on the Ed Gein murder case.
This is the greatest horror film ever made.

You are right !
True. I look back & think how astonishingly naive the adults around me were. We are far more informed & aware re the dangers out there.
say it louder for the people in the back

@@Archmage_74 Because he'd never seen Gunnar Hansen before this scene was filmed, so it couldn't have been more real!

ohhh! didn’t realize that
@@MOONPOPPERS The face that Leatherface was using in the dinner scene was from Jerry. That's why the hitchhiker brother asks Sally she likes his face.

One of the best Horror movies ever.

I knew from the beginning. It was obvious. And they are inbreds.
@@clarencewalker3925 Yes, I'm sure you did. Also, it's never stated or confirmed that they're inbred.
yeah that makes sense now, i just really wanted her to get away 😂

I laugh at modern horror the way they laugh at this, but this form 50 years ago is 100 times more authentic.

This story is loosely based on ED Gein. A famously notorious serial killer.
That’s crazy !!
Thanks, Niko and K.P.! 😱 You wondered where STAR WARS got the idea for an opening crawl... it was from the FLASH GORDON serials starting in 1936.
Wanna know what happened to Jerry? That was his hair that Leatherface was wearing as a wig at the end! Look closely! Probably was also him and the other friends who they put on Sally's plate in front of her.
You can't drive a semi like a car. There are air brakes takes about 30 seconds to restart gear shifting
didn’t think about that in the moment but that makes total sense

lol at all the reactors who'd know exactly what to do when being chased by a psycho with a chainsaw.
sheesshh
This is one of my favorite horror films of all time, but if you want a true horror masterpiece: The Silence of the Lambs
Oh yes we want to watch that !
@@MOONPOPPERSCult 70's classic The Omen ( the original) is well worth a watch.
This is based on the killer/cannibal Ed Gein.
Yes this is true, leatherface was actually real and did some of the things that were shown in the movies 💯 and another fun fact the house is also real and some people can go look at it on halloween
no way! that’s really cool

You guys are Great!
thank you!!!
Actually some parts of this story true,!!
It.happened during.thr 50s
People actually suffered this stuff
The killer - chainsaw guy died in the 80s
😵💫 that’s crazy
There was no 'killer chainsaw guy.' Leatherface was very loosely based off of the serial killer Ed Gein. He did not use a chainsaw to kill people.
Real
Ed Gein - inspired the character known as leather because he crafted a skin suit including face mask made out of old lady corpse remains that he would wear and dance around outside in.
The house was inspired by Ed's house where he had furniture and cutlery made out of human remains.
Example: belt made of human nipples, lamp shade made of human flesh, bowl made out of a human skull
None of the people murdered in this movie character wise had anthing to do with Ed. He murdered only 2 people. 2 elderly women.
Leather faces brother was also inspired by Ed, because of the grave robbing. The furniture he made was taken from graveyard corpses.
Essentially the concept of the villians is what's true about this movie. Regardless, its one of the greatest horror films ever made because it captures true horror as opposed impossible horror. Humans can be the worst monsters.
Side note. Sally took a actual BEATING during the making of this movie in one of the scenes and the slicing her fingers was real.
That’s a skoll ☠️
The mic cutting out when she screams 😭
Sorry we will fix it in future videos ! Thanks for letting us know !
House of 1000 corpse should be next
Just watch Eight Legged Freaks instead 😊
I prefer the 2003 remake. Jessica Biel is a better final girl ! xx
Y'all got to watch the 2003 one... That's the best one
Definitely want to watch !
