The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
Apr 1, 2003Backwoods Brutality
An absolute horror classic, a film that has been conceived as a harrowing assault on one's nerves. This has become a landmark genre classic and led to numerous sequels and copies

Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988)
Dec 17, 2013Ancient Egyptian Chainsaw Worshipping Cult
