The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Special Edition
This Special Edition version of the cult horror classic marries brand new footage with the highly authoritative 72-minute documentary on TCM titled The Shocking Truth, which is the most definitive exploration of TCM to date. To accompany this fascinating documentary, director and cast interviews are included on the DVD, along with a 16-page collectors booklet and a free US original theatrical poster. Presented in premium packaging, this is the most comprehensive TCM offering ever made available to the UK public.
TCM was deemed unsuitable for the British masses by James Ferman of the British Board of Film Classification (B.B.F.C), the head of the UK film censor body for twenty-five years until 1999. Ferman subsequently banned any other feature from having the words chain saw as part of its title. This classic horror film is the godfather of the Slasher movie genre, influencing films such as Halloween and Friday 13th, as well as being parodied in several spoof movies including Texas Chain Saw Manicure.
Directed by Tobe Hooper (Poltergeist), TCM was produced on a meagre eighty-two thousand dollar budget. Inspired by 1950s serial killer Ed Gein, the plot centres on five young Texans who break down in their camper van and encounter the Sawyers, who kill passers-by and use their flesh for special recipe Texan B-B-Q style food. The five teenagers are Sally (Marilyn Burns), her wheelchair-bound brother Franklin (Paul A Partain) and their friends Jerry (Allen Dazinger), Kirk (William Vail) and Pam (Teri McMinn).
The key protagonists of TCM are cross-dressing chainsaw killer Leatherface, played by Gunnar Hansen and Sally Hardesty, who plays Marilyn Burns. Hansens demented Leatherface squeals like a pig and he makes masks from the skin of human victims. Burns joined the illustrious company of Scream Queens beginning with Faye Wray in King Kong.
The appeal of TCM lies in its cinema veritè style, which makes it look like a documentary, adding a gritty realism to the film. Together with the horror of anticipation and suggestion, rather than graphic depictions of blood (the film is surprisingly bloodless), TCM scared audiences worldwide.
