Here are four facts about the 1974 horror classic, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre:
1) The titular chainsaw was always “live”, according to director Tobe Hooper, Gunnar “Leatherface” Hansen and cinematographer Daniel Pearl (on the commentary track of the “special edition” DVD). The teeth were sharp and the cutting chain was active, which led to several startling near-misses.
2) At the time, people described (and still recall) the film as being notoriously bloody and overflowing with gory special effects. However, there are only about “two ounces” of blood in the entire film, according to Hooper. Oddly enough, this was because he was aiming for a PG rating.
