You may have noticed that I tried to make the sound of a chainsaw right there, because we're talking about the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series. Nope, not just the first one, which is the one everybody loves, but all of them, which is way more than you think. Everybody loves all of them. Yeah, that's right. Just like the Friday the 13th series or Halloween or Nightmare

0:37.9

on Elm Street. That's right, folks. Leatherface, the original bad boy of cinema is back.

So were you a big fan of the Texas Chainsaw Masker? Where did you see it? I saw it in the year 2009

1:44.9

it's due and I loved it.

1:46.5

And I'll tell you why.

1:47.7

It's because that idea of being, like, real and feeling immediate is not something that I

1:53.2

would kind of say doesn't exist in the film, but it is so stylized in a way that people

1:59.8

Well, since we're in Shocktober now, since we're talking about horror...
