Texas chainsaw massacre......

[from zero]

It's not really a remake. This movie is supposed to take place the next day or something. A group of kids picks up the sole survivor of the massacre and takes her to the police, and the police use the kids as bait to lure the fucker out.

Hijinx ensues.

somebody needs to make a movie about gein.
and i just remember how disturbing the first chainsaw massacre was.

But Ed Gein only killed one person that we know of, so by today's slasher standards that would be a pretty boring horror film. That would be a good idea though but the lack of body counts means it would have to be more of a psychological thriller sort of thing.

Two actually. There were bodyparts from numerous different women found in his house. I suppose back in 1957, it was probably best that they got their man and to let sleeping dogs lie, rather than try to figure out wether or not he killed them, or got the bodyparts from one of his many grave robbing stints. But even so, you're right. His bodycount isn't high. especially compared with the likes of Gacy, Bundy, etc. I think it is the absolute WIERDNESS of Gein that is his legacy.

i saw the first one in kindergarten...at a birthday sleepover.

what kind of f*cked up parent shows the texas chainsaw massacre to a bunch of little girls?

i didn't sleep the whole night and couldn't find the courage to watch it again until a couple years ago. of course now, i think it's most entertaining.

When I think of TCM - I remember the dude in the wheelchair and rooting for him to get killed.

And the scene that freaked me out was when he opened the big freezer and the girl popped up screaming.... he coolly just slammed the lid back down on her head to knock her out again.

Here are some cool pics dealing with the Gein case. The corpse photo, is how they found his second victim. Tell me Gein had ANY clue as to the difference between human life, and that of your average forest buck. I thinks naught.
