The original 1974 film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre seized the
imaginations of audiences and critics alike. A controversial cult
sensation recognized by Total Film as the greatest horror movie
ever made, it's been shown at Cannes, briefly banned in England,
and included in the permanent collection of New York's MoMA. This
fascinating literary memoir of the making of the film comes from
the utterly unique perspective of Gunnar Hansen, the actor who
played the chain saw-wielding Leatherface. A critically acclaimed
poet and author, Hansen tells the real story of the film, debunking
myths, giving behind-the-scenes details, and offering insights on
the film's reception and our enduring fascination with the horror
genre today.
