 What are you
trying to do, scare the neighborhood kids? A lot of high
quality masks have come out of TCM. Check out a few
here
and get the lowdown from the artists that created them. |

What does Joe know? |

Why listen to some old stuffy critic who has seen the movie once and
fell asleep with his head in the popcorn? Let Joe give you the
lowdown on this flick. We challenged him to think deep and
give us mere TCM mortals the skinny. Joe, the microphone is
yours. |

 When I was 8
years old, my brother and I checked out TCM. I was home alone,
it was already dark when I popped it into the VCR. "OH GOD", I
still remember getting up to turn it off and felt a huge ice cold
shiver down my body. I was petrified, and to this day I
remember my brothers and dad coming home. One of my brothers
asked, "Was it any good?". I said, "it sucked.". Boy,
did I learn my lesson. |

The movie stands out out so
much because of several things. The name sounds like something
historical, the original box art shows you what you are in for, and
of course the movie. A deadly original story and very
appealing scenes. People just can't believe it is not true, so
real to life. Everything that happens in the movie could
potentially happen. no zombies, no unstoppable killing
machine, just plain human mortality and pure innocents being gutted
and tortured on screen. |

Some people think TCM launched
the slasher style horror genre, but I disagree. In the
succeeding movies, Halloween, F13, etc you have a killer with a
background. Shoot them, stab them, they still get up.
Leatherface, I can shoot him, make him bleed. TCM has an
actual family living in society, truly crazy. |

TCM is one of those movies people either love
or hate. The first one is so grainy, it's almost an acquired
taste. Alot of people don't like movies that look old like
that. If a horror fan hates this series, they probably are
into spritual or thriller style horror movies. I get countless
questions from people "What's with Leatherface?" They don't
understand the movie. Leatherface is retarded. Killing
is just a side effect of his upbringing. If his father and
brother were normal happy people, so too would Leatherface. |

The sequels were great in their own way, well
except for the last one. You can't take a successful series
and change everything and expect fans to applaud it. A
friendly, fearful Leatherface, masks that were applied by a
professional makeup artist, come on! Every single sequel had a
chainsaw killing except this one, go figure. Avoid it at all
costs. |

Ok, move over Hollywood, this is how you make
the next sequel. It's dry, dead and burning hot. You can
see a heat wave everywhere you look. I would use old cameras
to play the same fuzzy, smudged film like the first one.
Leatherface would be in a suit and tie with a pretty woman mask.
He would be sweaty, big and very dingy. The whole clan would
be there except for poor hithhicker. No new out of town
relatives. A voice would say, "In the dry, hot summer in the
deep South. A family lives alone on a dirty worn out countery
road. In a white dilapidated farm house. 'Heed this
warning. If spotted, do not enter, do not venture near, keep
going! Then thank God you are still alive, for you have just
passed the Sawyer house, the very site of the Texas Chainsaw
Massacre. |
