Texas Chainsaw Massacre

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise is a cornerstone of horror, beginning with Tobe Hooper's 1974 classic that shocked audiences with its raw, gritty style. The series follows the terrifying encounters of various characters with a family of deranged cannibals, most famously the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface. Set in the desolate Texas countryside, the films explore themes of isolation, survival, and the horrors lurking in seemingly forgotten places. Over the years, the franchise has expanded through sequels, remakes, and prequels, each adding new layers to the unsettling family dynamics and Leatherface’s backstory. While often controversial for its graphic content, the series remains iconic for its atmospheric tension and its lasting impact on the slasher genre.
