Cant believe nobody said the one that scared the crap out of me when it came out

Texas Chainsaw Masacre

If you have not seen this film, I highly recommend it. Some facts about the film:

The original name for the film was "Headcheese" and also, "Leatherface". It wasn't changed to TCM until the movie was about to be released.

Tobe Hopper was originally shooting for a PG rating for this film.

The film is banned in the United Kingdom although it has recently be given a cinema release.

People actually walked out on previews of the film.

Spawned three sequels, none nearly as awesome as the first. The second one is good and stars Dennis Hooper, the third is alright with Ken Foree from "Dawn of the Dead".

TCM is based on the story of the serial killer, Ed Gein. Leatherface was based somewhat on Gein.

Leatherface wears three masks in the film; the "killing mask", the "old lady mask", and the "pretty woman mask".

"The Gone with the Wind" of horror movies"....Monarch Film Studies.

The narrator at the beginning of the film is none other than John Larroquette of "Night Court" fame.
