Fitting to discuss this movie since the prequel opened today. So is it still one of the scariest films of all time to you, or has it fallen out of your favor over the years? It's still the scariest to me, even scarier than 'Halloween' and slightly more scary than 'The Exorcist'. Tobe Hooper did an excellent job of capturing the films realism and sadistic nature on camera and making the viewer be a part of the chaos which ensued.

It still not only scares me but makes my flesh crawl. The one scene I can never get over is when the guy is running and then the door slides open in front of him, and leatherface is standing in the doorway holding a hammer. Then he lowers it onto the guy and you can hear the crack of the hammer hitting his skull. Just an absolutely stomach turning scene!  |

They were showing the E! True Hollywood story of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" over the weekend and the film caused alot of controversy when it came out back in the day. Even Johnny Carson was appauled by it.

It is one of the scariest film's of all time and will remain as such. The problem is what followed it. Three awful sequels, a pointless bubblegum remake, and a lousy prequel. Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a perfect example of what happens you try to stretch out something that simply cannot be stretched out.

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is scary because it crosses that line, and doesn't make any apologies about it. As a horror movie fan I long for more movies like this, but in 2006 and beyond we probably will never see another "TCM" styled film that just takes twisted to a whole new level.

If you want to get the full effect of 'tcm' then get it on dvd, don't watch the cable version unless it's on one of the movie channels.

"TCM" doesn't have the same effect on me as it did back in the day. It's still a thrill to watch but the scare factor has dminished alot.

I loved and always will love 'Texas chainsaw massacre'. It's true horror in it's purest, sickest, and most twisted art form. And...it's gonna be on FUSE tomorrow evening at 11 pm.

'TCM' rocks but one thing always underestimated in this movie is the acting, by the good guys who make us feel their fear at what's happening and the bad guys who make us scared of how twisted and nuts they are.
