#DORK 74: Best Horror Franchise

Horror Movie of the Night: Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

You want to take a shower after watching this one. Ahead of it's time, Texas Chainsaw Massacre has inspired bascially every horror flick that involves a weird family, a crazy killer, slashers, out in the middle of no where, we're lost, and in-breeding. There has also been sequels and remakes (the sequels are awful (Renee Zellweger and Matthew McCounaughey are actually in one), while the remakes are worth a watch. Creepy meter is off the charts in this original though. Leatherface is gross. His family is gross. But the movie is terrific.
