The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

The first horror villain that we have to defeat is a good one.

It's Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

So, if we are in...

I'm forgetting where in Texas it takes place.

Yeah.

Texas Chainsaw, we've begun...

The Final

Destination films we started.

I'd like to know, Amanda, how did you get into, you know, where did your love of the TV movie come from? Was it one specific movie you remember watching and you just instantly were hooked? Or how did that come about?

I think for me, so I grew up in the 70s, and my parents weren't like, hey, let's go see Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

So my exposure to horror had to come from television.

Yeah,

When horror was done really well, I loved it.

Like Halloween, Shining, stuff like that.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Those...

Oh.

You know, I had a song in the movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Okay.

And I did some jingle stuff in the 80s and, you know, until the big apocalypse, the jingle apocalypse, you know, where they started using, you know, licensed stuff.

write a jingle for it.

So, you know, I'd like to do more scoring.

I did a post-apocalyptic movie called The Nuke Brothers.

Okay.

these are the top 10 um sorry i had moved on to a reddit list to get more like i guess obscure ones or just like other ones because i feel like that list was very like i don't know it was like oh that's actually really good no i don't think any of those are overrated um i will say now that i like i'm reading more and whatnot um what's that house of a thousand corpses i think that one's overrated i don't i never i guess maybe it's just because like that's not really my vibe but like i just didn't get the draw where i was like okay

Yeah, it's kind of Texas Chainsaw Massacre-y.

And, like,

way more

We're going to break some of those down one day.

Same with, with Scream, probably same with, you know, all the other ones, Texas Chainsaw.

We're going to look into those differently, but this, we just needed something for a little, sometimes you need a little bit of a, a reset and it's such an easy watch as well it's like it doesn't take computing power to watch anything in this film and you forget you're watching stop and go animation and can i just talk about the little dizzy rascal moment with the break dancing that

was

Halloween or The Shining? Halloween.

Ooh, Halloween or Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Halloween.

John Carpenter's Halloween or John Carpenter's

The Thing? Oh, I really like John Carpenter's The Thing, but it's Halloween.

So there's another...

I don't know if it's local or somewhere else, but I saw there was another community of people that were complaining because some guy's front yard... is Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

And there's like half a torso leaning over.

And they've got, you know, red food coloring and Karo syrup and the whole bit.

Well, this is hard to believe, I know.

But this week, 52 years ago, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was released.

Isn't that hard to believe? Wow.

I hear everybody in that movie is dead, too.
