When first released in 1974, the terrifying film The Texas Chain
Saw Massacre was both reviled and championed, seizing the
imaginations of audiences and critics alike. It has grown from
controversial cult sensation to being ranked by Total Film as the
greatest horror movie ever made and shown in the permanent
collection of New York's MOMA, even while the mystery and mythology
around the film endures. Gunnar Hansen's fascinating literary
memoir of the making of the film comes from the utterly unique
perspective of having played the character of the grunting, chain
saw-wielding Leatherface. A critically-acclaimed poet and author
himself, Hansen tells the real story of the film, debunking myths
and offering fresh insights and behind-the-scenes detail on the
film's production and reception, as well as a compelling meditation
on the film and the horror genre's place in pop culture today.
