Loosely inspired by the real-life story of Wisconsin serial killer Ed Gein - as was Psycho(1960) before it and The Silence of The Lambs(1991) after it - Tobe Hooper's ultra-low-budget shock-horror classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre opened to a firestorm of controversy, and since then has continued to generate heated debate over its aesthetic merits and potentially damaging effects on viewers.
It's been called one of the most frightening movies ever made.
It is one of the most profitable independent films in motion picture history.
