Guess who's coming to dinner! Oh, uh, I mean, guess who's going to be dinner!?
Hippies....Semi-mentally-challenged guy in wheelchair with a real attitudeHitchhiker that likes to cut himself like an emoBizarre rural family that likes to hit girls with hammers over buckets to provide entertainment for grampa (who incidentally, is one heck of a rough stretch of highway!)Hanging people on a hook (literally-speaking!)That says it all!I mean, what's up with Texas and cults, man!? It always seems like movies with crazy Satanists or cult freaks or cannibals are always in rural Texas? Did the movie industry in the 70's have a hate-affair with Texas? LOLI met Gunner Hanson, the guy playing Leatherface, at a horror movie convention, autograph and all! Woo-hoo! LOL...He said that the worst part of making this movie was that he was so short. They had to put him on stilts to make him look taller. He said the chase seen where he's running after the girl toward the end of the movie was torture. She was running so slow that he had to puposely run at a ridiculously slow pace with these awkward stilts on. I thought it was funny the way he described it. It was something like, "will you hurry up lady, you're running to slow, I can catch you! Speed it up already!" [paraphrasing what he said he was thinking....lol]This movie is pretty bizarre. Not for the kiddies for sure. I saw it when I was 12 and it scared the poopola out of me!One of the big selling points for this movie was Dan Fielding's, uh I mean, John Larroquette's opening narration that claimed the movie was a TRUE STORY. Years later, when we all found out that that was total bull, we all didn't want to watch it anymore (my friends and I). Heck, that was half the spookiness about it! It turned out to be fake! bahhh...lolThe rest of the movies were lame as heck. I agree with another poster that this movie is probably good for just one time. I wouldn't buy it on DVD.
